There must be a Friday the 13th revival going on or something since Jason Vorhees keeps popping up in the news every now and again. Of course this time since he’s chained beneath the waters of a lake in Minnesota it’s fair to say you wouldn’t want to see him ‘popping up’ simply because it would likely freak people out and make them never want to visit the lake again. This life-size statue was actually chained to the bottom of the lack to freak out divers and so far it seems like might have done a good job until people figured out the ruse. It looks very lifelike but the moment it fails to move you can imagine that people start calming down just a bit. Well, some people might, others might go swimming away as fast as they can for the surface.
The killer of Camp Crystal Lake is after all a very scary guy that can’t be killed. But apparently he can be chained to the bottom of a lake. That’s kind of funny since in the movies you’ve seen him go through just about every type of death possible and she still comes back. The guy was blown to pieces for crying out loud and because his heart was left intact he was still somehow alive. After someone ate it he continued to live on, becoming some little demon spawn that, yeah, found a way to regenerate and go back to his own body. The story of Jason Voorhees is pretty twisted despite the fact that it started out pretty sad. I mean really, he was a special needs kid that drowned in a lake because the teenage camp counselors were off doing something else and couldn’t be bothered.
Obviously his mother didn’t take too kindly to that since she went on a murderous rampage in the first movie until she was finally stopped. But then Jason finally came out and started wreaking havoc on the campers that kept coming back. It’s understandable to not live in fear, but going back to the same campground where people were killed more than one once seems kind of morbid, not to mention creepy. There have been a lot of things in the Friday the 13th franchise that haven’t made sense but have still been put in there just to sell tickets. But through it all Jason has definitely survived as one of the most iconic movie monsters ever created. He’s like Frankenstein with a machete, only he didn’t have to be stitched together by a madman and he’s not afraid of fire. In fact if you remember in Freddy vs. Jason he was lit on fire after being doused with Everclear and he just kept coming.
Someone obviously had a good laugh at this since you can imagine that the first few divers that found this thing were freaked out and probably swam away, or got closer and tempted fate. Isn’t that strange how some folks when presented with horror on any level want to get closer? At least it’s the real world and not the movies.
