Jason Voorhees from Freddy vs. Jason

Jason Voorhees inĀ Freddy vs. Jason (played by Ken Kirzinger) is one of the two titular characters. Just don’t expect a lot of lines out of him. He’s as silent as Freddy Krueger is chatty, after all. And once Freddy brings him back from the dead and sets him loose on Springwood. Of course the two can’t work together for long before they’re at war with one another leaving the original victims caught in the middle.

The important thing to know about Jason’s look is that you’re going to have to rip, stain, and distress anything he wears. This is why a more generic work jacket is listed above instead of what was used in production which is very likely a Carhartt. Under the jacket Jason wears a brown button up, torn at the collar, and a black t-shirt. He also wears black pants and boots.

Jason has been dead a while which is a hard look to recreate without some serious prosthetics. You can recreate the look, though, with black gloves and a black hood mask as well as black SFX paint to streak your neck with and use behind the eye holes of his trademark mask.

After that all you need are his hockey mask and his machete and you’re just as terrifying as Jason himself!

Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood

In Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood, Jason Voorhees (played for the first time in the franchise by Kane Hodder) is resurrected from the depths of Crystal Lake by a teenager with telekinetic powers. Freed from his literal chains beneath the water, Jason proceeds to wreak havoc, committing countless murders with an array of unique weapons including a scythe, green party horn, a weed wacker, and even a sleeping bag. Because Jason has been sitting at the bottom of Crystal Lake prior to part VII, his clothing is not only tattered, but its remnants expose rotted flesh and bone, giving Jason a somewhat zombiefied look. When creating this costume, it is important to generously slash and tear the clothing to reveal layers of flesh and bone beneath. A two-piece latex mask with detachable hockey mask is the best way to truly embody this particular version of Jason Voorhees.

Jason Voorhees is one of the most iconic figures in horror history, but people forget the first killer of the Friday the 13th series, his loving mother Pamela Voorhees. Seen appears in the first Friday the 13th as the true Camp Crystal Lake killer, acting out in wrath over her son being supposedly killed years before. With a variety of weapons to choose from, this makes an excellent mother/son costume couple.

After finally being defeated and put to rest by Tommy Jarvis, Jason Voorhees is a threat no longer. That is, until Tommy and his friend exhume the corpse just to make sure the Crystal Lake killer is dead – inadvertently reanimating him during an electrical storm. Now Jason lives again and Tommy races to warn the local residents. When no one believes him, it is up to Tommy once again to put an end to Jason’s wanton destruction.

Nearby, he found a lakeside store with owned by a man named Harold and his wife Edna, and entered looking for new clothing. While inside, he murdered the old couple by slamming a meat cleaver into Harold’s chest, and stabbing a sewing needle into the back of Edna’s neck. With the couple dead, Jason stole a dark-green worker shirt with a white under-shirt, silvery-grey cargo work pants, and black boots. A short time after Jason fled the scene, he found the uninhabited lakefront property Higgins Haven where he would take refuge inside the nearby barn to nurse his wounds. Some time later, the owner Chris Higgins had returned to the property with her boyfriend Rick, and her friends, Vera, Shelly, two stoners named Chuck and Chili, and Debbie who is pregnant with her boyfriend Andy, to spend the weekend. Following them was a frightening homeless, religious zealot named Abel who showed them a severed eyeball and warns them to turn back. The group arrives at the ranch not knowing that Jason had holed up in the barn.

Jason Voorhees

In the Friday the 13th series, Jason Voorhees is a killer on the loose, mostly in camp sites but sometimes in outer space. That iconic hockey mask is worn to hide his disfigured face. Just don’t confuse him with Michael Myers, he really hates when that happens.
