Friday the 13th is a slasher film franchise that begin with the 1980 slasher film directed by Sean S. Cunningham and written by Victor Miller. The original film takes place at the summer camp known as Camp Crystal Lake, where the camp's cafeteria chef Pamela Voorhees goes on a spree of murdering the counselors as revenge for the drowning death of her son Jason, which she blames on the counselors' neglegience. While Pamela is killed by camp counselor Alice in a final confrontation, her son Jason rises from the dead to continue the killing spree from the second film onwards as an undead superhuman monster. Despite Pamela being the original film's killer, Jason has gone on to become the face of the franchise, despite not sporting his signature hockey mask until the third film.
