Jason's thoughts

[chainsaw midget]

To piggyback on another topic... 

I kinda like King's idea. Especially if we can hear Jason's thoughts in voice over form by Daniel Stern, ala "The Wonder Years." :D

I like that!  I can imagine Stern's voice saying "As I started back down the trail that night I saw those kids in that cabin and they were bumping uglies.  I thought to myself, 'Hell no!  Imma go kill 'em.'"

What kinds of thoughts and statements would you expect from Jason's point of view? 


"I've been standing in the tool shack for hours waiting for the perfect kill... but nobody is coming into the toolshack!  I don't know if I should keep waiting here or try to sneak out and find a better hiding spot... and what if somebody catches me sneaking out of the tool shack.  That's just going to be embarrassing." 

"Killed five people with a machete... think I might be getting into a rut." 

"I've fixed up my mask and got a brand new outfit and not a single person has said anything..." 

"Freddy Kruegar just called and told me my mother sucks c**ks in hell.  I'm pretty sure he's just saying that but ...  and when did I get a phone anyway?"

Jason: "Why did the SA Censor Board ban my first movie?"

He is a mindless serial killer suffering from (fanboy theory) hydrocephalus (enlarged head), schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder. According to legend Jason was 11 when the drowning incident happened. Assuming he wasn't home schooled he must have been in sixth grade at that time. He knew how to read and write unless there was some disability.
We don't know if he had friends or if he was abused by his mother or the whereabouts of his father. Jason learned how to survive on his own in the wilderness, but his thought process would probably be on a level of a young teenager. He's lacking social skills, mental maturity, went through puberty on his own and whatnot. Jason never seemed sexually aroused by his victims which means he most likely had disturbing sexual fantasies involving death that turned him on - like most serial killers.
He never gave the impression that he was pondering the universe as well. Did he watch TV or listen to the radio when he was not killing anybody? Did he sneak into movie theaters or libraries?

Was he good at cooking wild animals all those years? Did he have a favorite recipe or spice?  

His thoughts would probably be like

"I must kill"
"You must die"
"Yes mommy"
"need some food"
"need to drink"
"need to sleep"

(Jerry Seinfeld voice)
"Who are all these teenagers? Every summer, they keep comin' back to this camp. I chop, I stab, I impale, but as soon as I get rid of one group, oh my Gawd, here's another bus load. What is their problem? Doesn't anybody get the memo? What is the deal?"

Hmmm....
The mythos says that Pamela Voorhees was overprotective, but I didn't find anything indicating how his nanny, Mrs. Cunningham, had treated him....

Leaves me to wonder what was going through his head those twenty two years he let his mother think he was dead....

I only saw the second & third movies..................

Sounds like Rob Zombie needs to step in here and do an origin story for Jason Voorhees like he did with Michael Myers.

Seems to me they just should let the Jason and HALLOWEEN and Freddy Kruger stuff just take a rest.
After a while it becomes boring.

A while?  Yeh.  40 years.     Boring.

Okay!  I got one for you! 

JASON:  "When is that homely babe gonna git dolled up so I kin SLAUGHTER her???"

Did he watch TV or listen to the radio when he was not killing anybody?

That why Jason really started killing people.  He just couldn't handle the fact that they cancelled the Muppet Show.

Jason had a makeshift house / shack in Part 2 with a table and chair if I remember correctly. In the remake he was living in a tunnel that had lights and even a bed. This was probably the closest to normality in his life when he was on his own. Not sure he could get reception for an antenna TV in the woods or the tunnel, being far away from civilization.

I wonder if he ever bothered with the local fishing lodges, or particularly the hunting lodges....
I mean, what did he do in the winter?????

And after forty years, you know all that vacant property would've been hit by a major real estate development; Lake front condos, strip malls, some clear cutting, a few new roads......................
Imagine killing people, but nobody thinks you did it because you're just an urban legend............
