His Name Was Jason: 30 Years Of Friday The 13th Page #12

---

l'm really proud of.

There's really no putting

your finger on it,

but there seems to be a loyalty

and a fascination with it

that just drives it forward.

lt's really the audience

that brings Jason back

to life every time.

The legend grows

from picture to picture to picture.

People like getting scared.

They don't know what's gonna happen.

They're just gonna wait-- oh!

lt surprises me

from time to time

just about how

the ''Friday the 1 3th''

movies continue

and just go on and on. The characters die,

but the movie doesn't.

When you do ''The Final Chapter,''

you expect for it

to be the final chapter.

This was the last one.

We were doing the very last one.

''The Final Friday,''

and l remember people saying

it's not gonna be the final ''Friday.''

That was 1992.

l get three, four, five

requests a week

for autographs and pictures

and so on from all over the world.

People still contact me.

They contact me about things

from the film

that l forgot about.

People send me things to sign--

big long posters.

l'm like,

''How did they get this?''

''Friday the 1 3th'' has given me

a gift that

is just bigger than life itself.

l get the most beautiful stories

about how Alice's strength

has inspired

so many people

around the world.

l was 27 years old

and l was the lead in a movie.

Number-one-box-office movie

at Paramount for two weekends.

This was the best

first acting gig l could have gotten.

Because when you have a knife

coming at you,

you really learn how

to hit your mark.

l hope the audience is

having as much fun watching this

- as we are making it.

- Personally, it was an honor--

still is an honor

to be associated with it.

And it's really

great entertainment,

so l think that's

why he's still around.

l think the audience

wants to see more Jason

the same way that

they want to see more Bond.

The same way they want

to see more Batman.

l've found that

a movie that l really

didn't give 2c for

in the beginning

has brought me

into the world,

into the lives of people

who have viewed it

in a very special way.

Did you know that

a young boy drowned?

The counselors weren't

paying any attention.

His name was Jason.

Well, there you have it--

''Friday the 1 3th,''

a movie that was made

to keep filmmakers' lights on,

but made America

afraid to turn them off.

And one that singlehandedly

gave birth

to modern slasher cinema,

generating box office success

beyond anybody's wildest dreams.

You know,

''Friday the 1 3th'' continues to inspire

and influence

emerging filmmakers

who try to capture

their own lightning in a bottle.

And on top of that,

l can probably proclaim

that Jason Voorhees

is a pop-culture icon

recognized the world over.

So here we are.

lt's three decades later,

and ''Friday the 1 3th'' lives on.

And it's because of you

that Jason Voorhees

keeps coming back

to terrify audiences.

So let me return the favor.

l'll give you some advice.

lf somebody invites you

to Camp Crystal Lake,

just don't go. ( grunts )

( gasps )

( sighs )

You see what l mean?

My bad. Sorry.

( imitating soundtrack )

lt's supposed to be--

''ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma.''

- Not everybody knows that.

- True, but that's the way it sounds.

l showed them how l can fart

''ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma,''

but the camera

wasn't rolling,

so yeah.

( rock music playing )

- l think if Vera had--

- ( screams )

( screaming )

( screams )

Excuse me.

l thought it was Jason.

Kill her, Mommy!

Kill her!

And he's still there.

There's somebody

in this f***ing room!

Why do you do

these stupid things?

l just want you to like me.

l got a date

with a soap on a rope.

Ted, Ted,

where's the corkscrew?

Come on, Sara,

strip and dip?

Bad news crews.

lt's okay, guys.

He just wants his machete back.

Axel, you are the Super Bowl

of self-abuse.

This feels good!

Nobody's gonna touch that

f***ing ray of sunshine.

l have seen enough

horror movies to know

any weirdo wearing a mask

is never friendly.

That's what's known

as screwing the pooch.

Ben, are you coming back or not?

And then--

You didn't get me in the lake, Jason,

and you're not gonna get me now.

My earring.

You could use a little

touch-up work first.

Man:
And cut.

Melissa's a b*tch.

l know-- ( laughing )

l can't even do it.

lt's a real pain in the ass.

And you're gonna use that

for sure, l know.

l said, ''lt's a real pain in the ass.''

You are gonna use that. l know that.

Finally he gets hacked to death

by Corey f***ing Feldman?

Yo, Feld-dawg,

what the f***?

( smacks )

l'm getting Haim

on your ass. Sorry.

- ( growls )

- ( screams )

l found it.

l didn't have a clue

as to what the plot was

in ''Jason Goes to Hell.''

A lot of shaving.

lt's creepy.

lt's so creepy.

Homoerotic... shaven.

( speaks gibberish )

Never show your breasts--

( laughing )

Here comes first Jason!

We're gonna go up to Crystal Lake

even though we've heard

that there's horrible things--

oh my God!

There's bananas everywhere.

lt is a lot easier

to go watch Jason

than it is to watch Dick Cheney.

You give up?

Man:
Never!

l don't know

what my lines are.

There's only one thing

that Jason knows,

and he knows it well.

( man softly )

Kill!
