Jason Voorhees (Horror Reboots)

Jason Voorhees is the main antagonist of the Friday the 13th horror reboot. He is a vengeful serial killer and haunts Camp Crystal Lake, feeling a burned need to avenge the death of his beloved mother, Pamela, and the abuse they received.

Childhood
Jason Voorhees was born on Friday June 13 1946 to Pamela and Elias Voorhees in the small town of Crystal Lake. Jason suffered from severe physical deformities and mental disabilities, and experienced a sheltered childhood; he did not attend school and the only contact he had with his mother. However, during the summer of 1957, Jason attended Camp Crystal Lake where his mother worked as a cook. Unfortunately, his disturbing appearance earned him ridicule and persecution from the other children, who, on one occasion, teased him by trying to cover his face and called him a freak show. In an effort to escape their taunts, a terrified Jason ran down the pier and fell into the lake. Unable to swim, Jason began to struggle and disappeared under the water.

Even though Jason did drown, his body was never found and Pamela blamed the camp counselors who were supposed to be looking after Jason, but had been too busy having sex and talking to prevent the accident. A year later, in the summer of 1958, Pamela snuck into the camp at night and killed several of the camp counselors until she herself was killed in self-defense by A.J. Mason. After A.J. killed Pamela, she was dragged under the water by the young Jason and the confused police searched the campground but hadn't found any boy. During Pamela's killing spree, Jason was also watching and also witnessed her death, so he himself went on his personal, vengeful mission to avenge his mother and keep her wish going to keep the area closed.
