Jason Voorhees.
Mr Friday the 13th.
A spooktacular superhuman villain with mummy issues and a vendetta against all camp dwellers.
Jason, Jason, Jason.
What a pest.
Luckily he is consigned only to horror movies… but what if he wasn’t?
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking What if Jason Voorhees was real.
Before we get started – I just want to ask you guys to hit that thumbs up button if you
like our content and to leave us a comment to let us know what you think the world would
be like if Mr Voorhees was real.
So, a little back story on the bad lad….Jason was deformed, bullied and drowned in a lake.
Sucks to be Jason, basically.
Jason’s mother then went in a rampage, killing bullies and causing chaos til she was killed
too by some classic decapitation.
Little did she know, that Jason miraculously survived his drowning and lived rudimentary
shelter in the woods until he re-emerged some 20 years later.
Classic Jason…only this time he was back with vengeance.
Chip off the ‘ole block.
Oh and then he got struck by lightning and became invincible.
Right… sure… but what if all this was legit and somehow chappy boy was out there?
Well let me tell you.
First up, you are going to want to avoid Camp Crystal Lake, the scene of the drowning and
hotspot for the killings.
Jason and his overbearing mother seem to have an issue with the place and are hell bent
on killing most happy campers to grace the grounds.
So….there is a Camp Crystal Lake in Florida, so maybe steer clear, even though I don’t
think this is THE Crystal Lake of the movies, which was filmed at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco in Hardwick
New Jersey.
Camping is fun, so I wouldn’t advise against all camping in case of running into our mate
Jas, but maybe just carry some bear spray so you can blind him for a bit should he come
for you.
Are you a bully, or a stereotypical bad teenager?
You might want to avoid that, too.
Drinking, drugs, premarital sex?
If the movies are anything to go by, this is the kinda stuff that will get you killed
by Jason.
There are a few angles we could take with Jason, if he were real, although most of them
involve finding and capturing him.
The question is, do we lock him up and throw away the key, do we sentence him to death,
as is still legal in some states, or do we study him.
I’d go for a hearty combo of study and contain.
Jason is seemingly indestructible, he survived a drowning saga and then got struck by lightning
and became arguably superhuman…scientifically, we have a lot to learn from him.
I also think it would be of benefit to conduct a few psychological studies a la mindhunter,
because he clearly has some learned behaviour issues…perhaps we could get a little closer
to studying how a monster is made.
I guess the issue here is capturing him.
Over the course of 11 movies, spanning 30 off years, he has evaded capture.
Can he even be captured?
Would he even be safe in a jail?
Would he kill all of the correctional officers?
I am thinking our only option is just to shoot him into space.
If space doesn’t kill him, maybe he can be quelled by a constant state of floating.
Let’s hope no aliens intercept him though, I am not sure they would be too pleased with
their gift basket from the earthlings.
Seriously, though, if Jason Voorhees was real, he would be the most prolific known American
Serial Killers of all time, a title that currently goes to Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer,
the truck painter who confessed to killing 71 people, and is suspected of murdering a
possible 90.
Jason has a movie kill total of around 146 people…although surprisingly this isn’t
enough to gain him the title of most prolific serial killer in the world – that would
be Luis Garavito who killed 300 children.
He is currently in jail, although his release date in 2021 is approaching.
I guess my point being here is that, actually, in some ways, Jason Voorhees is real.
The world wouldn’t change too much if Mr Friday the 13th continued his killing spree.
There are monsters just like him or worse out there, and it is our job to identify and
stop them.
So, that is one fanciful question answered for you there…..
do you agree?
What would you do if Jason Voorhees was real?
