Jason Voorhees
If you like this character, let us know!
Jason Voorhees est un personnage fictif né avec une tête hydrocéphale adapté au cinéma par Victor Miller, Ron Kurz, Sean S. Cunningham et Tom Savini dans le film Vendredi 13 réalisé par Sean S. Cunningham en 1980. Il est le fils d'une cuisinière du camp Crystal Lake et devenu meurtrier. Jason Voorhees a également été représenté dans de nombreux romans, bandes dessinées, et un crossover avec un autre personnage des films d'horreur, Freddy Krueger.

Il est question de lui dans le premier film mais il y est absent, tout comme dans le cinquième. Le célèbre masque de hockey n'apparaît qu'à partir du troisième film. Jason meurt dans le quatrième et revient sous la forme d'un mort-vivant au sixième, soit à la moitié de la saga.

Biography

Le vendredi 13 juin 1946, Jason naît avec une paralysie faciale périphérique du côté droit de son visage, ce qui fera fuir son père Elias. Jason est donc élevé par sa mère Pamela Voorhees. Durant l'été 1957, Pamela part travailler comme cuisinière dans une colonie de vacances appelée « Camp Crystal Lake » avec son fils. Tandis que celui-ci est malmené par les autres enfants dont il est le souffre-douleur, il glisse et tombe à l'eau. Les moniteurs responsables de lui ne l'ont pas secouru car ils étaient en train de copuler. Jason, ne sachant pas nager, s'est noyé. L'année suivante, ce même couple de moniteurs fut retrouvé assassiné et la colonie ferma. Le meurtrier s'avéra être Pamela Voorhees, qui s'est vengée en tuant le couple responsable de la noyade de son fils. Entre 1957 et 1980, on déplora d'inexplicables feux de forêt, et en 1962, la colonie, qui devait originellement être rouverte au public, fut à nouveau fermée à la suite d'une mystérieuse pollution de l'eau.

En 1980, des moniteurs qui rénovent le camp en vue de sa réouverture sont assassinés par Pamela Voorhees, revenue venger la mort de son fils, et qui en outre déteste le camp depuis le drame. Elle ignore que Jason est toujours en vie et qu'il a grandi dans sa folie, caché dans une petite cabane dans les bois de Crystal Lake et où il vit comme une bête sauvage, se nourrissant d'herbes et d'animaux sauvages à la suite du traumatisme de sa quasi-noyade. Pamela finira décapitée par Alice, unique survivante du massacre. Jason, caché derrière un arbre, sera témoin du meurtre de sa mère.

Deux mois plus tard, Alice est assassinée chez elle par Jason qui a quitté Crystal Lake pour venger sa mère puis repart au camp. Il s'en prend dès lors à quiconque ayant le malheur d'aller à Crystal Lake qu'il considère comme son territoire. Il se servira d'une machette, l'arme qui tua sa mère, et arborera d'abord un vulgaire sac à patates troué, qu'il échangera avec le masque de hockey d'un adolescent pour cacher sa malformation faciale.

Présumé mort noyé en 1957 à 11 ans, aperçu toujours en vie en 1980, À partir de ce moment débute une série de meurtres signés Jason Voorhees. Il sera déclaré mort en 1984. Mais en 1986, Jason revient à la vie, Devenu un mort-vivant. Le camp maudit de Crystal Lake ne connaîtra plus jamais de repos.

Freddy Krueger is trapped in Hell, it's 2003 and 4 years after the events and time of the sixth film and due to the fact the teenage residents of his town of Springwood, Ohio have forgotten about him, rendering him powerless, he can no longer return to Springwood, because there's no fear of him left in the entire town. He "can't come back if nobody's afraid", so, under the guise of Jason Voorhees' mother, Freddy manipulates Jason, who he'd been looking for over a period of time to do so, into killing the teenage residents of Springwood, hoping the mass fear will restore his powers. After all, residents of Springwood were terrorized by Freddy, not Jason, so obviously, every ounce of fear would be directed towards him, giving him more power than he'd ever hoped for. His plan works, but only to the extent of allowing his return.
