Camp Crystal Lake had 22 years of uninterrupted good times until a handicapped camper drowned in the summer of 1957, setting off a string of grisly murders.

Mrs. Pamela Voorhees (Jason's mother) stalks and murders the teenagers preparing Camp Crystal Lake for re-opening.

Jason's trademark hockey mask, which did not appear until Friday the 13th Part III, has become one of the most recognizable images in horror and popular culture.

The last counselor, Alice Hardy, fends off Mrs. Voorhees long enough to grab a machete and decapitate her.

Though he is without question the biggest name in the movie today, Kevin Bacon hadn't done much prior to Friday the 13th, apart from a small role in Animal House.

Although he spent most his time working behind the camera, Willie Adams also played Barry, the male counselor in the 1958 scene, and holds the unique distinction of being the first murder victim in the Friday the 13th films.

Jason's first victim is Alice, the counselor who decapitated his mother. He murders her with an ice pick he finds in her kitchen.

After digging up Jason's corpse in order to cremate it, Tommy Jarvis has a flashback which causes him to impale Jason's body with a metal fence post. Two lightning bolts strike the post and revive Jason, who retrieves the hockey mask Tommy has brought with him.

Over the course of his first 12 films, Jason slaughters 167 people, but nothing compares to the 28 kills he racks up in the ridiculously over-the-top Jason X (a.k.a. "Jason in Space").

Brenda holes up in the main cabin with Alice and Bill as a bad storm moves in. To pass the time, Brenda suggests they play Strip Monopoly, which involves stripping instead of paying rent.
