Name: Jason Voorhees Height: 4' 2" at time of death. Reported to be 6' 5" after death? Weight: Unknown. Hair Color: N.A. Eye Color: Blue D.O.B.: June 13th, 1 946 D.O.D. June 13th, 1957 Last Known Place of Residence: Crystal Lake, N.J. Last Known Employer: N.A.

The Events of These Reports are Based on Information Given by Eyewitness Accounts and Police Reports. The Views Expressed are not of the Interviewer.

Jason Voorhees was born to Pamela and Elias Voorhees. Very little is known about Elias other than he was an alcoholic and abandoned the family due to Jason's condition. He would later father a daughter named Diana and disappeared, his body being found months later in a ditch. Jason, being mentally and physically disabled, died while attending Camp Crystal Lake where his mother was a cook. He had jumped in the lake while the counselors were distracted and drowned. However, his body was never recovered. That same year, Camp Crystal lake was the home to two murders and was shut down. Every attempt to re-open the cam was halted due to what can only be assumed interference by Pamela Voorhees. The Camp finally re-opened in 1979, 21 years after the first murders occurred.

On June 13th 1979, Pamela Voorhees killed six camp counselors. The only survivor of the rampage, Alice, killed Pamela and was treated for shock. Two months later, Alice disappeared. Five years later, in July of 1984, Camp Crystal Lake re-opened once again. Over six days, Jason Voorhees was reported to have killed 52 people before young Tommy Jarvis impaled him in the head with his machete. This event is supported by not one but two coroner internment reports, a record fifteen police reports, and six witnesses, three of them claiming to have killed Jason. Crystal Lake was shut down one again, and renamed Forest Green.>

Two years later, Forest Green's name is changed back to Crystal Lake and marketed as a tourist trap. All was quiet again until 1992, when Jason rose from the grave. Even though Camp Crystal Lake is at this time defunct, the primary victims are still teenagers. Eleven people were murdered over a period of four days. The police start to report the incidents, but do not arrest the survivors.

A year later, Jason was reported on the cruise ship The Lazarus and then in Manhattan. Everyone on-board the Lazarus died save for two teenagers who reported to the police soon after port.

Somehow, the deaths continued at Crystal Lake until 1996, where in police shoot and kill a man in the woods assuming him to be Jason. The Coroner for the case disappeared and was found dead 3 miles away from the morgue where Jason's body was interred. It is assumed he started copycat killing, yet oddly his body when examined had been dead for two days with his heart missing. That would place the time of his death as the night he disappeared from the morgue. Several more bodies were reported to be found in the same condition, each one found to have been dead yet many were seen just hours prior in town. This discrepancy is not addressed in the FBI files. The killings continued for a period of three days, each getting closer to Crystal Lake. Diana Kimble was found dead in her home, stabbed in the back. Her body then disappeared from the morgue. It was assumed it is the work of her daughters boyfriend, Steven Freeman. On the night of October 21st, five people were killed around the old Voorhees home, one of these being the famous Creighton Duke. Freeman, Jessica Kimble and their child are allowed to return home after brief questioning.

Five years later, Jason is spotted in Springwood, Ohio. Little information is available on this incident, as most of the files seem to refer to previous case subject Fredrick Krueger. As they referred to Krueger, most of the police files from the Springwood Police Department have been destroyed. It is said by the survivors that both attacked the town at the same time, however this is very unlikely. As of this writing, the Voorhees case remains open. Camp Crystal Lake is slated to open again for the Summer 2010 season. The new camp claims to be in a fenced enclosure and touts complimentary police protection as well as mandatory self-defense courses.

For many of us, slasher films pretty much define the horror genre. There really is nothing better than kicking back with a few beers and watching some unsuspecting teen get decapitated while her friends are partying in the cabin over. Slasher flicks range from extremely comical to downright disturbing, but they always manage to entertain. Everybody has their favorite killer and/or kill scene and nobody can ever seem to agree on which is best, but I think we can all agree the following films deserve a top spot in the horror hall of fame.

10. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon(2007)

This extremely clever mockumentary gives us a behind the scenes look at the real life of a slasher style serial killer in a world where our favorite movies are a reality. Jam packed with references to all the great films that came before it and the various rules that seem to stick to the sub-genre, "Behind The Mask" turns out to be a solid, albeit comical slasher film in its own right. A definite must see for the true horror geek.

9. My Bloody valentine(1981)

A huge early 80's cult favorite, "My Bloody Valentine" tells the story of a sleepy mining town with a violent past that appears to be repeating itself on......you guessed it....Valentines Day. Very much a standard slasher flick for its day, it does manage to throw a few twists in there to keep you guessing. If you have never seen this film, or have only seen the remake, then SHAME ON YOU. Make sure you check out the uncut version released in 2009 to catch a couple scenes that had initially given this film an X rating in 1981.

8. Child's Play(1988)

Dolls are creepy. FACT! "Child's Play" sets the standard for killer doll movies. It is not necessarily scary (anybody reading this that can't kick a 2 foot tall doll's ass needs to seriously consider hitting the gym), but is certainly an entertaining addition to the slasher family. Keep your eyes open for the remake supposedly coming up soon.

7. The Burning(1981)

One of my favorite of the early 80's slashers, "The Burning" is basically your standard slash and hack film following a bunch of kids away at camp that start disappearing one at a time. While not long on plot, "The Burning" offers an excellent cast, including early performances by Fisher Stevens and Jason Alexander, as well as the makeup and special effects of Tom Savini.

6. Hatchet(2006)

Just when we thought the slasher film was dead, "Hatchet" came along and brought things right back to the roots. A bunch of people poking around where they don't belong, getting picked off one at a time by a disfigured madman with an ax to grind. Starring horror legend Kane Hodder and with cameo appearances by Robert Englund and Tony Todd, "Hatchet" is an awesome throwback to the days when the slasher was king.

5. A Nightmare on Elm St(1984)

The first slasher to include a supernatural edge, "A Nightmare On Elm Street" was an instant classic. Following the already tested formula, the deranged killer returns from beyond the grave to seek revenge on high school students. Freddy immediately became an icon in the horror world and managed to scare a whole generation.

4. Black Christmas(1974)

This 1974 classic is the one that started it all. Based on real life crimes committed around Christmas, "Black Christmas" set the stage for the sub-genre as we know it. Slightly dated by today's standards, still definitely still an enjoyable watch and belongs in any serious collection.

3. Friday the 13th(1980)

What can really be said about this one? "Friday the 13th" was an instant success spawning 10 sequels and a remake. Jason Vorhees has managed to be a household name and a part of all of our lives for 30 years now.

2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974)

Another major influence on modern horror movies, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" still manages to frighten audiences to this day. This timeless classic may lack the gore that we are used to these days, but manages an extreme amount of tension without ever showing much of anything. Along side "Black Christmas", this film managed to pave the groundwork for everything that came after it.

1. Halloween(1978)

This is definitely the one that started the craze. Unlike the slasher films to come before it, "Halloween" managed to bring that terror right to our door. The masked sociopath stalking our streets and killing indiscriminately , Michael Myers sets the standard by which all other horror movie villains should be judged. Perfection in every way, this movie has it all. The score alone can manage to evoke a reaction from people. Anybody who says that Michael Myers doesn't scare them, even a little, is lying.

So, you have decided to run up the stairs when pursued by a killer, AGAIN. That's very troublesome, seeing as you did the same thing in the first two films, and guess what? He found you! Darn, imagine that! Now, please don't take this wrong dear, but I'm afraid you're as dumb as a post that's been given a lobotomy.

Seriously, let's take a look at you for a moment. The fact you have lived this far into the film series means one of four things.

1. You are the Smart but Hot Without Glasses chick who just so happens to have her love interest come to her for help in defeating the monster,
2. You helped unleash this evil the first time, and are thus duty bound by movie law to kick its ass,
3. You're batshit crazy, or
4. You're psychic and are connected to the monster through some bizarre occult practice that occurred when you were a child.

Yet, whatever type of horror movie heroine you are, you still make the same mistakes over and over again. In the past, you have somehow been able to deduce not only what the villain wants and where he comes from, but also how to destroy him (for now).But, when he comes back for a third time, you can still be found living in the same neighborhood, in the same house, and wearing the exact same style of tank top you had in the first film. (Hey, they were on sale or something, bravo to the smart shopper.) Now, while sitting in a place where you have been found before by a vengeful wraith without bars, windows, locks or even a gun sounds like good precautions at first look, there are other things you can do to avoid going through this again.

Say, moving away from the ancient Indian burial ground where the killer keeps coming back to life every Halloween, for example. Silly idea, I know, but after the first two times he's come back from the grave, I don't care if you filled the grave with a mixture of cement, urine and burned the body for good measure, you move your ass away from that shit. Besides, it's not like you're staying there for your friends, they all died in the last two films. Don't feel bad though, at least in the first film their deaths were not totally your fault.

But we both know you don't care about that. You're a young lady, and this being the third film and all, there is no chance he could possibly come back a third time. You've had a hard life, after all is said and done. Living in an upscale neighborhood with your rich friends being killed left and right and you being the only moral pillar in the bunch can take such a toll on the sensibilities. So what if you're not supposed to touch that creepy old book, say Nilknarf three times in a mirror or remove a nail from an old oak tree? You don't need those responsibilities! It's time to let loose, forget all the rules, and hopefully get your ass killed at the end of the film, because we both know this world will be much safer without you. Then we can get a heroine that isn't as dumb as a brick.

For every great slasher that comes out, there are so many more that just don't make the grade. I enjoy a good bad movie from time to time, but these films are the absolute worst of the worst. They can be good for a few laughs if you're in the right mood, but overall you should proceed with caution.

10. Drive-In Massacre(1977)

I have no idea how this film ever got released. I think there would be a better chance of getting people to sit through home movies of me playing solitaire. The film is about a serial killer with a sword at a drive-in and does not have one single redeeming quality. This really belongs to be further down the list, but its so bad i can't bring myself to give it a #1 on any kind of list.

9.Valentine(2001)

This one is pretty funny, people either love it or hate it. I am definitely with the haters. I'm not sure I can even tell you why, because I have done a good job blocking it out and refuse to watch it again to find out. I was not a fan of many of the films that came out during that time period, but I know this one sucked pretty bad because it left a lasting impression.

8. Don't Go In The Woods......Alone(1981)

No Budget. Bad Acting. Basically nobody with any talent was allowed to work on this film. I like bad movies for the most part and this one is kinda fun if you take it for what it is. Just don't go into expecting anything and you won't be disappointed.

7. A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge(1985)

It is no surprise at all that Wes Craven refused to work on this film. I am a huge fan of the whole franchise, but honestly i don't know how they managed to get funding for any additional sequels after this stinker came out. They changed the whole premise and it just doesn't fit with the rest of the series. You're lucky your fans love you Freddy and are willing to give you a pass on this one.

6. Silent Night, Deadly Night 2(1987)

This whole movie is archive footage of the first. Total waste of space in anyone's collection. If you've never seen it, don't. You can skip right to 3 and you haven't missed a thing.

5. Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

Why mess with a proven system? The ninth in the series, "Jason Goes To Hell" does not make any sense, on any level. All of a sudden Jason can jump bodies? WTF? This movie was just terrible and never should have been made. Luckily, they followed with Jason X AND TOTALLY REDEEMED THEMSELVES!

4. Leprechaun(all)

I can manage to sit through the first couple in this series, but that's it. I know they arent meant to be taken seriously, but come on. If I had to listen to that little guy rhyme like that, I would kill myself before he ever got to me. They seemed fun and different at first, but I have to rate this whole series as some of the worst movies ever.

3. Return To Sleepaway Camp(2008)

I have always been a big fan of this series, but they never finished filming the fourth movie. Why would they ever move on to a fifth? This particular slasher's time has passed. Trying to capitalize 20 years after the last sequel had been released just didn't work. This film isn't worth the DVD it's burned on.

2. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4: The Next Generation(1994)

Why did they have to do this to Leatherface? This movie is watchable for some laughs, but they took this one too far. OK. We all knew Leatherface was a cross dresser, but was there really a need to make it so pronounced? They totally emasculated a legend and then had the balls to make the whole thing a government conspiracy. Just so wrong on so many levels. Don't watch this movie if you can avoid it.

1. Slumber Party Massacre 2(1987)

This movie is so bad that it is so much fun to watch in the right company. I don't even want to say anything to ruin it. The picture says it all. It is so absolutely terrible that it's a definite must see. If you have never seen it, I guarantee some dropped jaws.
