Jacklynn Voorhees
A Lifetime of Camping
Jason the Twin Brother
Jason Voorhees was born in the small town of Crystal Lake on June 13, 1946 to Elias and Pamela Voorhees. Jason was afflicted with severe facial deformities, Hydrocephalus, an abnormally large head and mental disabilities. Raising Jason on her own, Pamela kept her son isolated from the community, not letting him attend school and educating him in their home on the outskirts of Crystal Lake. This would eventually lead Jason to respect his mother. He would follow through on all of her commands, and that’s one of the reasons why his mother’s ghost gives him commands. He would be on his own without her. So Jason’s home life can be defined as learning, and listening.
In the summer of 1957, Pamela, unable to get a babysitter for Jason, resorted to bringing him to Camp Crystal Lake where she worked as a cook.
Jason had actually been with his mom most of the time instead of other kids, leading to them thinking he wasn’t very smart, so they started bullying him. While being bullied by the other campers, Jason attempted to escape from his tormentors, but the cruel children caught up to him on the dock and threw Jason into the lake where he drowned. The counselors were supposed to be watching the children, but instead were talking and having sex in the woods.
Though Jason's body was never found, the camp closed as a result, but reopened the next summer.
After drowning to death, he was somehow revived. Constructing and living in a crude shelter in the forest, Jason seemingly waited for his mother to find him and managed to live in the woods surrounding Camp Crystal Lake for over 20 years. He lived off the land and whatever he could pilfer from the camp or other parts of civilization.
In the summer of 1979, Steve Christy, the son of Camp Crystal Lake founders David and Louise Christy, tried to re-open the camp and hired several teenagers from out of town to assist him. Enraged by Steve's actions, Pamela murdered him and almost all his employees with only Alice Hardy surviving. Ultimately, Alice decapitated Pamela with a machete after a brief struggle on the lake's shore. After killing Pamela, Alice collapsed from exhaustion and stress into a canoe, and fell asleep as it drifted out onto the lake. The following Saturday morning, Alice imagined police cars coming onto the camp property to investigate the murders, only for herself to be pulled into the water by a revenant form of Jason's prepubescent self.Alice was then admitted to the hospital and treated for hypothermia. When Alice asks about Jason, Tierney chalks it up to hallicination from her recent ordeal and replies "Miss, we did not find any boy" causing Alice to remark that Jason is still out there.
After his mother's murder-spree, Jason, having witnessed his mother's death, grabbed her sweater, pants, severed head, and the machete that killed her and returned to his shack with them, placing the objects on a crude altar he had constructed as a shrine to his beloved mother.Jason Voorhees has killed (around) 151 people.
Momma Pamela
Pamela Voorhees was the mother of the unstoppable killing machine known as Jason Voorhees. In 1946, Pamela was a young and pregnant newlywed living in a trailer in Cadiz, Ohio with her abusive husband Elias Voorhees.
In September of that year, after suffering another in a long series of beatings perpetuated by her husband, Pamela heeded the voice inside her that told her to "kill".
While Elias was sleeping, Pamela picked up an axe and hacked him to pieces. She discarded the remains and burned the trailer to the ground.
Dave Christy didn't want to see Pamela go, so he invited her to bring Jason to live at the campground so that she could always keep an eye on him.
Later that year, eleven-year-old Jason Voorhees drowned in Crystal Lake and the "death" of her child drove the overprotective Pamela insane.
In 1958, she begged the Christys for the chance to work at the camp again.Â
Pamela avenged her son's death against two camp counselors whom she found inside of a cabin.
In 1979, she returned to Camp Crystal Lake and killed several more counselors. She picked up a young camp counselor named Annie in her jeep and told her the story of her life before slaughtering her.
She also killed the campground manager, Steve Christy, the son of David and Louise Christy. One woman survived the massacre, Alice Hardy. Pam and Alice fought one another on the shore of Crystal Lake and Alice beheaded Pamela with her own machete.
About
Jacklynn Voorhees has always looked after her twin brother due to his...disabilities, well the best she could do as an eleven year old.
When her brother was thrown off the dock she didn't know what to do.
Then the thought hit her, what would mother say?
So she ran into the woods terrified of what would happen.
She had heard the stories of what happened to her father and she didn't want to be next.
She knew Jason wasn't dead, she knew he would come back and this wasn't a twin thing, she knew this for a fact.
For at the age of six in a fit of childish rage she smothered him with a pillow.
And there he was laid against the shore.
She pulled him onto land and waited and waited and waited then he came back.
Convincing him the camp was no longer safe she set up a shelter for them and began stealing from the camp to care for her brother no longer keeping him sheltered. Despite his mental problems she forced him to learn to do things he was uncomfortable with.
How to hunt, how to speak properly, and how to kill.
She continues to mentor and care for him as he goes on his killing sprees helping on the occasion.
