Jason Voorhees has been depicted many times over the years in various movies, and there are many Halloween costumes on the market that mimic him. None but the first movie were true to the horror story imparted initially. Jason's beginning are a true tale of horror..
In the first Friday the 13th Jason's sad story is told. As a little boy attending Camp Crystal Lake he was tormented by the other children for his strange appearance and apparent retardation. The camp councilors were not supervising the children the day that Jason decided he had enough. He ran into Crystal Lake and supposedly drowned. What we eventually come to discover is that the murders that have taken place over 20 plus years after various attempts to reopen the Camp are actually being committed by Jason's mother. Even though the first movie is by far regarded as the best it is not where any of the iconic Friday the 13th items come from. Jason's mask and all of the reasons for the terror he creates actually originates from the following movies..
Jason is a part of American Culture and has made almost every top horror list and has even won awards. But why is a man in a hockey mask so frightening? Why is the Jason Halloween outfit one of the number one sellers every year, especially Halloween costumes for men? Part of the reason for this is that everyone recognizes the hockey mask, although strangely enough it did not appear until the 3rd movie. Jason derives a feeling of pure terror in people because he was an unstoppable killing machine. You could hit him and stab him and he would keep coming. The frightening part was that no matter how fast the victim would run he would still catch them, all the while moving at a leisurely pace..
Many say that the thing that made Jason the leading man of terror was his lack of noises and facial expressions. His famous mask covers his face so that you have no idea what he is thinking. He never grunts or says anything to his victims as he mercilessly pursues them. His mute nature creates suspense that can never e achieved again. .
In fact the mask and machete are part of the reason that this costume is one of the most popular Halloween costumes for men. After all who doesn't want Halloween costumes that embody such terror but can fit people of all ages and sexes. .
Friday the 13th is a true study in American horror movies and being Jason for Halloween is as American as apple pie. His history is one that most everyone knows, whether they've seen the movies or not. Choosing the Jason Halloween costumes means never having to explain who you are and even though anyone can wear it, it is certainly a perfect Halloween costumes for men. .
