The Movie Friday The 13th is all about a boy who witnesses his mother get beheaded by a camp counselor, sounds bad but his mother was on a killing rampage, and 30 years later Jason continues his mothers work by killing campers off in a disgusting and horrible way. Friday the 13th is not just a movie but a famous day for those who are very superstitious and believe that on Friday the 13th, bad luck is bound to happen. Why do people enjoy watching Jason chase these helpless and innocent people around camp when they did nothing to him and want nothing to do with him? The answer is simple, as the article says “ Jason was designed as a leaner and a fast killer, with a back story that could provide a little sympathy for the character but not enough that he would lose his menace”(Friday the 13th 2009 film, Wikipedia). He is this mutated person who was made fun of as a kid by previous people that attended Camp Crystal Lake, so he decides to take revenge on those who come near him because of his memories along with his sick and twisted mind. There are lots of people who are made fun of and don’t go put on a mask and decide to go on a killing spree, then there are those who because of their lack of mental stability or just lack of a soul do decide to take their anger out on innocent people because at the end of the day it makes them feel better about their past and what they went through, there are now people who have been tortured worse then he has.
