That's unfortunate because I probably won't get around to following through with it even though it promises to be even more exciting. A bit confusing at first with the introduction of so many characters. But they were all brought together expertly. Wonderful, imaginative, end of the world story. Great beginning to something more.

Cunningham , and written by Victor Miller.

In the summer of at Camp Crystal Lake , two counselors named Barry and Claudette sneak away from a campfire to have sex in a storage barn, where an unseen assailant murders them. Twenty-one years later, in June , camp counselor Annie Phillips is given a lift halfway to the reopened Camp Crystal Lake by a truck driver named Enos, despite being warned by an elderly man that the camp has a "death curse".
While driving, Enos warns her about the camp, informing her that a young boy drowned at Crystal Lake in and about the two murders. After being dropped off, Annie hitches another ride from an unseen person, who chases her into the woods and slashes her throat. As a thunderstorm approaches, Steve leaves the campground to stock supplies.

Alice heads out to look for him and discovers his body pinned with arrows to the generator room's door. She flees back to the main cabin to hide, only to be traumatized further when Brenda's body is thrown through the window. Soon after, Alice sees a vehicle pull up and rushes outside, thinking it is Steve. Instead, she is greeted by a middle-aged woman named Mrs. Voorhees , who claims to be an old friend of Steve's.
As Alice brings her inside, Mrs. Voorhees sees Brenda's body and begins to reminisce that her son Jason was the young boy who drowned in She blames his death on the counselors who were supposed to be watching him, but were instead having sex and not paying attention to Jason drowning. Revealing herself as the killer, Mrs. Voorhees turns violent and rushes toward Alice with a bowie knife , attempting to kill her.
Following a confrontation wherein Mrs. Voorhees is knocked out, she finds Alice at the shore and attempts to kill her again with a machete , but Alice gains the advantage and decapitates her with the machete. Afterward, a traumatized Alice boards and falls asleep inside a canoe, which floats out on Crystal Lake. Just as Alice awakens and sees the police arriving, Jason's decomposing body suddenly emerges from the lake and drags her underwater. She awakens in a hospital, where a police officer and medical staff tend to her.
When Alice asks about Jason, the officer says that there was no sign of any boy. Alice says "Then he's still there", as the lake is shown at peace. Friday the 13th was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham, inspired by John Carpenter 's Halloween , [4] wanted Friday the 13th to be shocking, visually stunning and "[make] you jump out of your seat. He commissioned a New York advertising agency to develop his concept of the Friday the 13th logo, which consisted of big block letters bursting through a pane of glass.
It was moderately successful. But someone still threatened to sue. Either Phil Scuderi paid them off, but it was finally resolved. The screenplay was completed in mid [5] by Victor Miller , who later went on to write for several television soap operas , including Guiding Light , One Life to Live and All My Children ; at the time, Miller was living in Stratford, Connecticut , near Cunningham, and the two had begun collaborating on potential film projects.
Voorhees was the mother I'd always wanted—a mother who would have killed for her kids. He was a victim, not a villain. The idea of Jason appearing at the end of the film was initially not used in the original script; in Miller's final draft, the film ended with Alice merely floating on the lake. A New York-based firm, headed by Julie Hughes and Barry Moss, was hired to find eight young actors to play the camp's staff members. Cunningham admits that he was not looking for "great actors," but anyone that was likable, and appeared to be a responsible camp counselor.
King earned an audition primarily because she was the friend of someone working in Moss and Hughes's office, and Cunningham felt she embodied the qualities Alice. It is Bacon and Nelson's contention that, because the three already knew each other, they already had the specific chemistry the casting director was looking for in the roles of Jack, Ned, and Marcie. Friday the 13th was Nelson's first feature film, and when he went in for his first audition the only thing he was given to read were some comedic scenes.
Nelson received a call back for a second audition, which required him to wear a bathing suit, which Nelson acknowledges made him start to wonder if something was off about this film. He did not fully realize what was going on until he got the part and was given the full script to read. Nelson explains, "It certainly was not a straight dramatic role, and it was only after they offered me the part that they gave me the full script to read and I realized how much blood was in it. Nelson recalls an early draft of the script stating that Ned suffered from polio , and his legs were deformed while his upper body was muscular.
He served as a model for the slasher films that would follow Friday the 13th. Rex Everhart , who portrays Enos, did not film the truck scenes with Morgan, so she had to either act with an imaginary Enos, or exchange dialogue with Taso Stavrakis—Savini's assistant—who would sit in the truck with her. After recently being written off the show Love of Life , Brouwer moved back to Connecticut to look for work.
Learning that his girlfriend was working as an assistant director for Friday the 13th , Brouwer asked about any openings. Initially told casting was looking for big stars to fill the role of Steve Christy, it was not until Sean Cunningham dropped by to deliver a message to Brouwer's girlfriend, and saw him working in a garden, that Brouwer was hired. Estelle Parsons was initially asked to portray the film's killer, Mrs. Voorhees, but eventually declined. Her agent cited that the film was too violent, and did not know what kind of actress would play such a part.
Hughes and Moss sent a copy of the script to Betsy Palmer, in hopes that she would accept the part. Palmer could not understand why someone would want her for a part in a horror film, as she had previously starred in films such as Mister Roberts , The Angry Man , and The Tin Star. Palmer only agreed to play the role because she needed to buy a new car, even when she believed the film to "be a piece of shit. Voorhees, although the audience only sees a pair of legs running after Morgan.
Palmer had just arrived in town when those scenes were about to be filmed, and was not in the physical shape necessary to chase Morgan around the woods. Morgan's training as an acrobat assisted her in these scenes, as her character was required to leap out of a moving jeep when she discovers that Mrs. Voorhees does not intend to take her to the camp.
