A Look Back at Jigsaw (SaW)

John Kramer, commonly referred to as "Jigsaw", is a fictional character and the central character in the Saw franchise. Jigsaw made his debut as the primary antagonist in the first film of the series, Saw, and he's later portrayed as an antihero in Saw II, III, IV, V, VI and 3D. He is portrayed by American actor Tobin Bell.

In the series' narrative, Kramer is a former civil engineer dying from an inoperable frontal lobe tumor that had developed from colon cancer. After a failed suicide attempt, Kramer experienced a new respect for his own life and set out to force others through deadly trials to help them appreciate their own lives by testing their will to live through self-sacrifice. The tests were typically symbolic of what Jigsaw perceived as a flaw in each person's moral character or life. The Jigsaw name was given by the media for his practice of cutting puzzle pieces out of the flesh of those who failed their ordeals and perished, symbolic of their missing survival instincts, but Kramer never took or used the name to refer to himself.

Jason Voorhees Friday the 13th

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.

Who is Behind Freddy Krueger

•Born: 1984
•Birthplace: Hollywood, California
•Best Known As: The scary guy from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise

Movie villain Freddy Krueger is the wise-cracking central character in the movie franchise that started with filmmaker Wes Craven's 1984 A Nightmare on Elm Street. Krueger's costume is a cruddy fedora, a red-and-charcoal striped sweater and, most importantly, a leather glove with razor claws attached to the fingers. He has the supernatural ability to visit the dreams of others -- usually teenagers -- and commit violent acts that simultaneously occur in the real world. The success of the original film led to several sequels and a variety of merchandise, from action figures to Nike shoes. Krueger was played by actor Robert Englund in eight films all told: A Nightmare on Elm Street; Freddy's Revenge (1985); Dream Warriors (1987); The Dream Master (1988); The Dream Child (1989); Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991); New Nightmare (1994); and Freddy vs. Jason (2003, with the villain from the Friday the 13th series of horror films). A new actor, Jackie Earle Haley, took over the Freddie Krueger role for the 2010 series reboot A Nightmare on Elm Street, which was described as a "reimagining" of the original.

Michael Myers Description

"I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No

reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary

sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year old

child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, the

devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another

seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized what was living'

behind that boy's eyes was simply and purely...evil"
