Why does jason voorhees kill

In doing this, she accidentally uses her powers and frees Jason of his shackles, allowing him to inflict yet another round of murders upon the Crystal Lake community.

Forced into a showdown, Tina unleashes her powers in full. However, Jason's raw strength proves a match for her telekinesis — he's not even stopped by being fully engulfed in flames. It takes some help from beyond the grave to finally subdue Voorhees: When the battle makes its way back to the docks, Tina unknowingly summons the spirit of her father, who drags Jason back underwater and shackles him there once again.

Jason lies dormant at the bottom of Crystal Lake until another pair of oversexed teenagers sail by, not realizing their anchor is dragging a power line. The electricity hits Jason, reviving him instantly. He boards their ship and murders them both.

The following day, Jason manages to swap from the sailboat to a cruise liner taking a group of high schoolers to New York City for a field trip. He systematically murders most of them before the vessel finally reaches its destination. Jason Voorhees finds himself in Manhattan , a place utterly unlike Crystal Lake — but his bloodlust is unchanged. The Big Apple's back alleys allow him to successfully stalk the survivors of the ship. After a brief jaunt through Times Square leads him to the sewers, he's foiled by Rennie, niece of the high schoolers' chaperone, who splashes toxic waste in his face and exposes his grotesque visage once more.

Jason gives chase, but is seemingly washed out to sea by a flood of toxic waste. Although he was stopped, the fact remains that countless New Yorkers saw a monster in a hockey mask traipse through the city, committing multiple murders.

Jason Voorhees would never be just an urban legend ever again. Although Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday is by far the wackiest installment of the Friday the 13th series, it starts out pretty realistically. It is revealed that he somehow made it back to Crystal Lake, with his mask now fused to his face. He stalks a young woman who turns out to be an FBI agent. Springing an elaborate trap, the feds obliterate him with explosives.

Jason's spirit, however, has become able to possess others. He takes control of a coroner in Ohio, uses his body to travel back to Crystal Lake, then leaves the coroner's body for a police officer's. To no one's surprise, Crystal Lake has a gaggle of partying teens enjoying its shores, whom Jason slaughters. Meanwhile, a bounty hunter named Creighton Duke is all over the news claiming new knowledge of Jason's powers. According to Duke, only a member of Jason's bloodline can truly kill him.

It just so happens that he's got a half-sister, who lives in the area with her daughter and granddaughter. With the help of a man named Steve, they all travel to Jason's childhood home for a final showdown. Eventually, Jason is stabbed by his niece with a mystical dagger.

Demonic hands emerge from the ground and literally drag Jason to hell. Freddy needs people to fear him — this allows him to attack people in their dreams. However, the people of Elm Street he so terrorized have taken steps to erase him from the town's memories. He pulls some strings in Hell and tricks Jason into going to Elm Street to put fear back into their hearts. Once the job is done, though, Freddy realizes that he doesn't have a plan to turn Jason off.

The scene only lasts a minute, but it has stellar practical effects and is potentially the most creative and gruesome death in the entire franchise. Jason Goes to Hell dives deep into the supernatural and reveals that only a Voorhees can kill Jason. His half-sister obtains a knife that turns into a ritualistic dagger in her hands, and she uses it to stab Jason and send him to Hell. The film ends pretty definitively, with his mask remaining on Earth.

But it also teases a future confrontation with the gloved hand of Freddy Krueger taking the mask beneath the surface. Each version of Jason gets a unique kill attributed to them, but with almost 30 deaths in its runtime, some fall to the wayside or appear without any context. Struggling to free himself, Jason tried dragging Megan under as well when she swam out to save Tommy, but was left paralyzed when the girl used the detached motor of Tommy's boat to cut into his neck, breaking it.

Megan successfully resuscitated Tommy, leaving Jason trapped at the bottom of the lake. In the seven years of his underwater imprisonment, Jason nearly managed to drown thirteen year-old Rennie Wickham when the girl was pushed into Crystal Lake by her uncle , who was trying to teach her how to swim.

Seeing Jason as a child due to her latent empathetic abilities, Rennie barely escaped Jason's grasp, and was left haunted by her encounter with him, becoming aqua-phobic. Psychic teenager Tina Shepard , wanting to bring back her father , whom she had accidentally killed using her powers years earlier, unknowingly awakened and released Jason from his watery tomb and from the dead, the shock of doing so knocking the girl out, causing Jason to ignore her.

Wandering the Crystal Lake area, Jason returned to killing, slaughtering his way to the Shepard home and the house next door, which several teenagers had rented for a birthday party. Butchering the teens, as well as Tina's mother and her doctor , Jason ultimately faced off against Tina, her telekinesis easily matching his raw power. Their fight destroying both houses, Tina and Jason's battle reached its climax on the docks of Crystal Lake, where Tina, using her powers, resurrected her father, who dragged Jason off the dock and chained him to the bottom of the lake once again.

The next summer, Jason became active once more when the anchor of a passing yacht severed an underwater electric cable, which shocked Jason back to life. Boarding the yacht, Jason murdered the two teenage lovers aboard, gaining a new hockey mask from the boy , to replace the one Tina had destroyed during their fight.

Climbing aboard the ship, Jason set about killing off the crew and students, his presence causing the now eighteen year-old Rennie Wickham to be plagued by visions of Jason's younger self.

Starting a fire by throwing a student onto a control panel, Jason caused the SS Lazarus to sink, drowning everyone still aboard. Catching up to the group in Manhattan, Jason pursued them through the streets, killing Julius, Charles and anyone else in his way. Chasing Rennie and Sean Colleen having died in a car accident through Times Square, a subway, a diner and into the sewers, Jason eventually cornered the two, knocking Sean out and killing the sanitation engineer who had been guiding him and Rennie through the tunnels.

Chasing Rennie, Jason was horribly burned when the girl threw an old canister of toxic waste onto his face, causing it to melt. Tearing his smoldering mask off and blindly stumbling after Rennie, Jason grabbed her leg when she and Sean tried to climb out of the sewer, but before he could pull her down, he was caught in a wave of sludge that rushed through the tunnels and was melted down as Sean and Rennie who hallucinated Jason as a child one final time escaped through a manhole.

Presumably washed out to sea by the sludge, Jason made his way back to Crystal Lake with his hockey mask fused to his face due to the toxic waste. Marcus led Jason into an ambush where FBI agents had riddled him with hundreds of bullets and blew him apart with a grenade.

Jason's remains were sent to the federal morgue in Youngstown, Ohio. There Jason, possessed the coroner who examined him, by hypnotizing him into eating his disembodied heart. With his new body, Jason killed the assistant coroner and a pair of FBI agents left to guard the morgue and began making his way back to Crystal Lake, instinctively seeking out his half-sister Diana Kimble , who he intended to possess in order to fully resurrect himself.

After five days and claiming nine more victims Jason reached Crystal Lake and transferred his worm-like soul from Phil to Josh , a local policeman. Attacking Diana in her home, Jason, struggling with Steven Freeman when he arrived, accidentally killed Diana with a knife sharpener he had intended to throw at Steven. Fleeing the scene after being impaled with a fireplace poker and knocked through a window by Steven, Jason abandoned Josh's body the next day and acquired a new one, that of Robert Campbell , a reporter and the boyfriend of Diana's daughter Jessica , Jason's newest target.

Finding Jessica at home, Jason tried to possess her, but was wounded by Steven, who escaped with Jessica. Tracking Jessica down to the police department, Jason killed Deputy Ryan, knocked out another officer and Sheriff Landis, and came close to possessing Jessica, only for Steven to interfere again. Shot a number of times by Steven, Jason was briefly downed, but recovered, kills a pair of officers and chased Steven and Jessica to the diner where Diana worked.

Shrugging off a barrage of gunshots, Jason, after killing the family owning the diner, collapsed after Jessica's friend Vicki sacrificed herself in an attempt to stop him. Recovering by the time the police showed up, Jason possessed Deputy Randy Parker and made his way to his old home, arriving there at the same time as Sheriff Landis.

Seeing Jessica had an enchanted dagger , which could send him to Hell , Jason pretended to be Randy, even speaking, confusing Jessica and causing her to accidentally kill Sheriff Landis when he tried disarming her. When Jessica dropped the dagger after stabbing Landis with it, Jason rushed over to Stephanie , Jessica and Steven's infant daughter, and prepared to possess her. Arriving just in time, Steven partially beheaded Randy with a machete, forcing Jason's soul to crawl out of his gaping neck wound.

Scurrying through the house, Jason's soul was knocked into a hole in the floor by Steven, where it found Diana's dead body, which had been placed in the house by Robert, who had intended to "discover" it during a routine walk-through with his crew.

Slithering up his half-sister's vagina, Jason successfully resurrected himself and went after Jessica and Steven, only being momentarily distracted by Creighton Duke , a bounty hunter with a vendetta against him. After killing Duke, Jason was tackled out of a window by Steven and the two fought, with Jason having the obvious advantage. Before he could beat Steven to death, Jason was attacked from behind by Jessica, who had recovered the dagger.

Stabbed in the chest, Jason was grabbed by demonic hands that burst out of the dirt and, feebly struggling, was dragged down to Hell, losing his mask in the process. Leaving with their baby at dawn, Jessica and Steven failed to notice the bladed glove of Freddy Krueger shoot out of the ground and grab the abandoned hockey mask.

In his personal Hell, Jason wandered a perfect recreation of Camp Crystal Lake that was in perpetual twilight, seemingly killing the same shade of a possible previous victim over and over again. Jason's cycle of stalking and killing was eventually interrupted by Freddy Krueger who, under the guise of Mrs.

Voorhees, used what remained of his power to resurrect Jason, telling him to go to Springwood and "punish" the children there. Weak due to the residents of his hometown suppressing and censoring all knowledge pertaining to him and quarantining those aware of his existence, Freddy's plan was to have Jason kill and cause a panic, making the authorities believe he had returned, creating fear and giving him power.

Jason Voorhees as seen in Freddy vs. Jason Jason killed several Springwood residents and the deaths were blamed on Freddy, just like the dreamstalker thought they would be. Things soon become complicated when Jason, despite fulfilling his purpose, continued killing, claiming more and more victims before Freddy could kill them in their dreams.

After attacking a rave, killing at least ten people there, Jason followed Lori Campbell and her friends Will Rollins , Charlie Linderman , Kia , Freeburg and Scott Stubbs to Westin Hills Psychiatric Institute, the group having gone there in search of the dream suppressant Hypnocil , which could protect them from Freddy.

Breaking into the asylum, Jason killed a guard and Deputy Stubbs and gave chase to the others, but was confronted by Freddy, who had possessed Freeburg and disposed of the Hypnocil. Using a massive amount of tranquilizer, Freddy knocked Jason out, right before he sliced Freeburg's body in half.

With Jason now unconscious, the remaining survivors- Lori, Will, Kia and Linderman- collected all the tranquilizers that they could find and loaded Jason's body into a van to take him back to Crystal Lake, hoping that they could then wake Jason up so that he could defeat Freddy where he had the 'home-field advantage' and then be content to remain at the lake.

Confronted by Freddy in the Dream World and figuring out he was only being used, Jason was losing against the other killer, who had the advantage of possessing reality warping powers in his realm. Managing to endure everything that Freddy threw at him, Jason lost his composure when a pipe burst and showered him with water, his deep-seated fear of water and drowning having been brought to the surface by being in the Dream World.

Regressed to a helpless child by Freddy, Jason was whisked away to a 's-style version of Camp Crystal Lake, where he relived being knocked into the lake by bullying campers while none of the counselors were watching them. Jason was narrowly saved by Lori, who had entered the Dream World, intent on dragging Freddy out. Due to being distracted by Lori, Freddy lost hold of Jason, who woke up in the back of the van with the others.

Breaking his bonds, Jason caused the van to crash and was sent flying out of the back out of it. Recovering quickly, Jason reached Camp Crystal Lake, which was being converted into a resort, shortly after Will, Kia and Linderman who were forced to carry Lori, who was trapped in the Dream World by Freddy did.

Bursting into a cabin and attacking Will, Kia and Linderman, Jason injured all three though Charlie died of his injuries later on and, during the struggle, caused the cabin to catch on fire. As the flames spread, Jason, when Lori finally woke up after being burnt and dragged Freddy into the real world, moved in the other killer. Jason and Freddy engaged in a brutal battle, which brought them through the campgrounds, a nearby construction site and to the docks, which Lori and Will Linderman and Kia having been killed by Jason in the crossfire and after Kia caught up to Will and Lori and after she left Charlie who told her to get help and she didn't notice he died set on fire.

As the flames raced towards them, Jason and Freddy continued fighting, Jason ripping his opponent's arm off while Freddy, having earlier claimed Jason's machete, stabbed him in the heart with it. The fire soon reached some stacked propane tanks, causing them to erupt, the explosions setting Jason and Freddy on fire and flinging them into the lake.

When Freddy reached the dock and prepared to kill both Lori and Will, Jason, using his last ounce of strength, leaped out of the water and impaled Freddy with his own severed arm. When Lori beheaded Freddy with his machete, she, seeing Jason sinking to the bottom of the lake with Freddy's body and severed head, tossed the weapon to him.

The next day, Jason emerged from the waters clutching Freddy's head, which winked and laughed, though this didn't seem to bother Jason or he didn't notice. Jason Voorhees as seen in the Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash comic In December, five years after his battle with Freddy, Jason has completely recovered from his injuries and still stays in Camp Crystal Lake, with it again being named Forest Green. Freddy is trapped within Jason's sub conscious. Will and Lori return to the camp for closure and to make sure Jason and Freddy are really dead.

Jason first guts Will and hangs him on a roof. He then goes after Lori who tries to fight Jason with a chainsaw but was eventually overpowered and killed by Jason, who then disposed of her and Will. While lurking in Jason's thoughts Freddy learns of a demonic book called the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis , which can be used to bring him back to life. By coincidence, the Necronomicon is hidden in the Voorhees Home. In a trance, Freddy, once again uses Pamela to convince Jason that the only way to get rid of Freddy is with the Necronomicon , and that will also make Jason a "real boy".

However, Jason was killing without abandon, so his deaths were nothing like anyone saw from Freddy. The best kill in the movie came when he killed Rowland's character. She was fighting Jason with all she had and then he just got tired of his and hit her so hard with a machete that she flew across the field and crashed into a tree. It was just a brutal and devastating kill. There was a lot to like about the Friday the 13th reboot, but it didn't make enough money to continue on.

There were, however, some great kills in the movie. One of the best came when a guy named Trent thought he was going to escape, similar to how The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ended. Trent ran into a road and tried to wave down a truck.

He was almost hit and then as he approached the stopped truck, Jason grabbed him and killed him with his machete through the chest. What made this one of the best kills happened next. Jason slammed him into the haybale and the truck drove off with the dead body twitching as Jason watched on.

Jason X took Voorhees into space, which was what happened when horror movies hit a certain point in the 80s and 90s. This also gave Jason a chance to take part in several situations he never had a chance to at Camp Crystal Lake. In one of the most underrated Friday the 13th movies , Jason got to use science to kill someone, by submerging a scientist's face in a vat of liquid nitrogen.

It froze instantly and then Jason shattered her head into pieces. The creative manner of this kill stood out from almost all his previous kills, and while not the best, it was different than everything that came before. As with most of his kills, this one involved two young people having sex, which was always something that led to a bloody death at the hands of Jason. In this case, the two kids were in a tent when Jason used a signpost to impale her.

He then hefted the sign and ripped her in half while she was still on top of her boyfriend.
