The rumors turn out to be true, and the now adult Jason Voorhees has become a vengeful murderer after seeing his mother get killed in the first movie. In the second film we find out that a wild man lives in the woods near the camp who resembles Jason – one who, according to urban legend, may actually be the little kid who drowned all those years ago, though how he survived remains unknown. His mother goes on a rampage in the first movie to avenge the poor kid (Jason himself doesn’t appear in the first movie except in a dream sequence). Everyone around him – young and old alike – is responsible for his death, making Jason a victim of the malice inherent to human nature. Jason Voorhees begins his story as special needs child who drowns because of the negligence of his camp counselors and the cruelty of his fellow children.

The subject of today’s ICHF is one of my all-time favorite Horror icons, as well as one of the greatest sources of my own personal cognitive dissonance.
