Mentioned many times in the "
Friday the 13th" movies, this nice little spot is where a great deal of
murders took place. In the first "
Friday the 13th" film,
Pamela Vorhees snaps after her son's (Jason's) death, which was caused by the neglect of several
horny camp counselors. She murders some folks who were planning to reopen the camp several decades afterward.
Some suggest that it was
Jason, now undead, who guides
Pamela's hands during the first movie.
Pamela's spree abruptly ends when the last surviving counselor decapitates her, thus killing her.
Filled with rage,
Jason, now a full-grown
undead manlike thing, continues his mother's work in most of the movies in the series. He generally prefers to hang out around
Crystal Lake, dispatching any
teens stupid enough to hang out around the lake, smoke pot, drink, and/or have sex. There's almost a
moral message at work here.
In the films, both
Pamela and
Jason prefer to work with the tools at hand, generally refraining from undignified weapons such as guns (with the exception of the spear gun in part 3). Better are common objects like
hammers,
axes,
knives, and Jason's famous
machete. He has added many notches to his tally with that recognizable slicer.
