Mrs. Voorhees (Betsy Palmer)
the original ‘Friday the 13th’ (1980), Jason wasn’t involved (except for a nightmare sequence) and the original 1980 film has the most credibility out of the entire franchise. Mrs. Voorhees (Betsy Palmer) stalks and murders the teenagers who are preparing Camp Crystal Lake for re-opening in many sadistic and gruesome ways. She is determined to make sure the camp does not re-open after her son, Jason (Ari Lehman), drowned in the lake because two staff members, who were supposed to be watching him, were having sex. The last counselor, Alice (Adrienne King), fends off Mrs. Voorhees long enough to grab a machete and decapitate her.
Mrs. Voorhees is a rarity in the horror genre, especially the slasher movie, because she is female, yet she shows the same delight in killing, and pulls off nastier murders than Jason ever did.
Stand out scenes include Kevin Bacon’s character (Jack) getting it in a really grisly way, and the entire last twenty minutes with Adrienne King’s character, Alice, and Mrs. Voorhees really going for it in a cat and mouse chase, hitting each other, and duelling to the death. source steven casey murray
