When Friday the 13th... Who is Jason Voorhees?

It is not known whether bad things will happen when Friday the 13th comes, but all the '13th' on the big screen. On Fridays, 'young people' are killed one by one and are still being killed.

Jason Voorhees is a fictional character created by Victor Miller. Jason is the primary antagonist of the Friday the 13th series. Jason is a psychopathic serial killer who usually commits his murders on Fridays in Crystal Lake. Jason starts using his hockey mask in the third movie of the series. There are approximately 8 movies in the original series. There are 12 movies in total. The most recent of these is the Friday the 13th movie, released in 2009.

The story of Jason, whose face was deformed and who vowed revenge when he witnessed his mother's murder, has been going on since 1980. The film, which has been shot once again due to both being one of the classics of the horror genre and the increasing demand for sequels, cannot avoid receiving bad reviews with its heated and presented story, but it is also true that Jason's cutting and chopping always attracts the attention of moviegoers.

The series, where the episodes after the first two films are repetitive and full of clichés, still has a nostalgic place because it features one of the most 'famous' serial killers in the history of cinema.

Here are the Friday the 13th movies from 1980 to 2009:

Friday the 13th (1980)

Crystal Lake has a bad history. While the blood-soaked past is hidden in the chest, it emerges 20 years later.

The film, directed by Sean S Cunningham, is considered the most important film as it is the beginning of the series.

Five years pass after the events and Crystal Lake hosts another camp group. Jason is afraid that the young people coming to the camp will notice him. He will prevent his secret from being revealed at the expense of killing everyone.
