The camp closes but eventually re-opens again, inspiring Mama Voorhees to seek her revenge on all those hormonal teenage counselors who dare fool around at camp. The camp counselors, being too busy having teenage sex to do their job, did not notice Jason struggling in the water.
Voorhees works at the camp and is traumatized because her son Jason drowned there years ago. We see their deaths through a POV (point of view) shot of the killer, without seeing the killer herself till the end. In the original Friday the 13th movie, it’s Jason’s mom who kills all the teens. Her death is the central conflict of the show, but she exists only to create a compelling plot for the central characters. It means a character or object causes things to happen to the characters in the film, but is fairly insignificant on his own.Ī great example of a McGuffin is Laura Palmer in the Twin Peaks franchise. Jason Voorhees was originally something of a McGuffin.Ī McGuffin is a device (named after a character in a Hitchcock film) used mainly in horrors, thrillers, and suspenseful films. Maybe you’re wondering why anyone would idolize such a character.Įither way, there’s a lot to be said about the Friday the 13th franchise, and how it cemented itself into pop tattoo culture. Visit any horror movie convention and you’re bound to see at least one Jason Voorhees tattoo.Īlthough Jason Voorhees is an undead, unfeeling killing machine, he’s a sympathetic character to many.įriday the 13th inspired many future films in the “slasher” genre- where watching good looking teens get massacred is a spot of fun with your friends.Īre you considering getting a Jason Voorhees tribute tattoo? Since it was made in 1980, it has become many people’s first experience with scary movies. Besides giving a whole generation of people an irrational fear of goalie masks, it changed the landscape of horror cinema forever.įriday the 13th is a darling of the horror movie fandom.
