The Many Faces of Jason Voorhees – Ai. PT! The Friday the 1. Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles and Nintendo. In every Sunday newspaper, we got a copy of the TV Weekly, which had a listing in the back of every movie playing that week. And every week, I’d go through the listing with a highlighter, searching for horror movies; particularly Friday the 1. I was as passionate about horror movies as I was cartoons, and perhaps even moreso, as watching horror movies required a certain test of skill and endurance for an elementary schooler. The best ones played at the wee hours on cable (Friday the 1.
USA’s Up All Night), and the best- BEST ones played at the weeeee hours on HBO. Staying up late was the test of endurance, but the test of skill came in keeping a trained ear for parental footsteps and a fast finger on the remote to change the channel before they could catch me watching something I shouldn’t be. But of all the horror flicks I digested in my youth, Friday the 1. I’m one of those weirdos that has always enjoyed the films for the story, believe it or not, and in those early years where everything was a brand new discovery, I thrilled to the exploits of Jason Voorhees. I loved the continuity of the films and looked to Jason as the hero (because really, who watches a slasher film and roots for the teenagers?).
I was hooked on his increasingly bizarre adventures. And one of my favorite staples of each installment was the dramatic unmasking. While not every film in the series followed the formula, you could typically look forward to seeing Jason lose his mask somewhere during the climax and catch a glimpse at just how jacked- up his face has gotten between installments. There was never any rhyme or reason to his look and each makeup artist employed their own unique vision to his vile visage. Just what is Jason gonna look like THIS time?” was something I pondered as I began each flick and I happily forced myself to stay up past 2am with as much Coke and Pixie Sticks as I could handle just to learn the answer. So let’s take a look at Jason’s numerous faces, from the good to the bad to the ugly (okay, so they’re all ugly). Friday the 1. 3th (1.
Little Boy Jason” (portrayed by Ari Lehman), perhaps the only time that Jason ever actually scared anybody. I remember watching the original Friday the 1. All I knew is “this is the one with Jason’s mom in it” and, being a little kid, had yet to have the ending spoiled for me.

So yeah, I jumped like crazy when he popped out of the water and my older brother, sitting behind, knowing it was coming, had a good laugh at my expense. I’m not ashamed! In fact, I’m wistful. I miss the days when I could actually be frightened by movies. With special makeup effects by Tom Savini, this is a classic look for Jason and the brief glimpse we get is more than enough. Fans fight tooth and nail to this very day over whether this appearance “counts” or not.
Some believe that it represents Jason coming back from the grave to seek vengeance (meaning Jason was already a zombie before Friday the 1. Part VI) while still others take it as nothing more than a dream. Believe it or not, but this exact same argument is going to crop up twice more as we progress.
Friday the 1. 3th Part 2 (1. The famous shock ending to the first film was received SO well, Steve Miner wound up ganking it for both his sequels. But you can’t recapture lightning in a bottle no matter how hard you try, fellas.“Grizzly Adams Jason” (Warrington Gillete) marks the first and last time we’ll get to see Jason with a full head of hair until, I want to say, Jason X. And I believe it’s the only time we ever get to see Jason with a beard, too. I’ve actually come to like Jason with long hair (he kept the ‘do for all his post Jason X appearances) and the “Grizzly Adams” look is very befitting of his characterization in Part 2, as he’s described as a “frightened retard” living off the fat of the land for years. Jason sets traps in this movie (something he won’t do again until the 2. Like the ending to the first film, fans argue the legitimacy of this appearance.
