Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Why does Jason bother to cover his face at all? He used a potato sack (or whatever it was) in the first couple of films, so it clearly was not for Rule of Cool (not that a maybe undead, psychopathic murderer would/should care about that anyway). His sole purpose in life seems to be to terrorize and/or kill anyone 13 or older that he comes across-- his hideous mug would be great for doing the former (as seen in Jason Takes Manhattan). There's no chance he's that sensitive about his physical deformities, is there?
    • Um... yeah? The trauma of his original drowning is pretty closely associated with his appearance. He's kind of sensitive about it, as much as a giant walking wall of necrotic flesh can be sensitive.
