Jason Voorhees

Jason Voorhees is a key character in the 1980 slasher horror film, Friday the 13th and the main antagonist of its 1981 sequel Friday the 13th Part 2 before maintening that role in the subsequent installments and its 2009 reboot (except for the fifth film).

Early Life
Jason Voorhees was born in the small town of Crystal Lake on June 13, 1946 to Pamela and Elias Voorhees. Pamela never attended him to school or educating him. By 1957, She took her job at Camp Crystal, where children would pick up Jason due to deformity. When Jason was trying to escape, they pushed him into a lake where he drowned while the camp counselors were partying and having sex in the woods instead of helping him. One year later, Pamela went and killed two counselors named Barry and Claudette, whom she blamed for Jason's drowning.

She wakes up at a hospital, implying that the sequence might have been a dream or hallucination.

Where she finds Pamela's severed head in her refrigerator, she gets stabbed in the head with an ice pick by Jason, scaring her cat.
