Set in 1957, we meet a young Mrs.Voorhees who, on the day of her son's birthday, learns that he drowned in Crystal Lake at the hands of some very mean children and several negligent counselors. One year later, an enraged Mrs. Voorhees hunts down her first victim to have her revenge for the demise of her son.... Jason.

A WORD FROM CHRIS

"Voorhees" was shot over 2 days with a combined time of 3 hours. The first day was the breaking of the bad news to Pamela on Jason's birthday. We did that in the park in less than 40 minutes. The rest of the movie was filmed nearly 2 weeks later at Echo Lake Park in Mountainside New Jersey.

After learning from my previous experiences, I took the liberty of getting a permit, ahead of time so I was able to film in peace and not be rushed. We filmed on the docks of a canoe rental hut right in the middle of the park from 6pm-7:45pm. It was quiet for the most part, somewhat cloudy and pretty serene.

My goal with this short was to show Pamela's first kill. Yes she kills the councilors in '58 in the first movie, but I thought it might be cool to expand on that. There was so much more that could've been done with that setup rather than a silent kill. So yeah, I dug into that and tried to justify Pam's disposition as well as show the development of her split personality.
