Jason Voorhees is a silent, undead and effectively unstopable killing machine, Jason is an iconic madman who haunts Camp Crystal Lake and the surrounding area, driven to slaughter anyone he encounters by a burning need to avenge the death of his beloved mother, Pamela Voorhees.
Born in the small town of Crystal Lake on the 13th of June, 1946 to Elias and Pamela Voorhees, Jason was afflicted with severe facial deformities, had an abnormally small brain and large heart and as such, was mentally disabled. Raising Jason on her own, Pamela kept the boy isolated from the community, not letting him attend school and presumably educating him (or at least attempting to) in their home on the outskirts of Crystal Lake.
In the summer of 1957, Pamela, unable (or possibly unwilling) to get a babysitter for Jason, resorted to bringing him to Camp Crystal Lake, where she worked as a cook. Bullied relentlessly by the campers due to his handicaps, Jason, trying to escape his tormentors, fell off a dock and into the lake, where he drowned due to the counselors who were supposed to be supervising the children being too preoccupied with having sex in the woods. Though Jason's body was never found, the camp briefly closed as a result, but reopened the next summer, only to be closed again when Pamela, mad with grief, murdered Barry and Claudette, the counselors she blamed for Jason's drowning. Pamela was never suspected of the murders and all subsequent attempts to open the camp ended in failure, presumably due to sabotage on Pamela's part, resulting in the camp being nicknamed "Camp Blood" by the locals, who came to believe the area was cursed.
