Mrs. Voorhees

Background

Mrs. Voorhees is a resident of New Jersey. She is the mother of Jason, who drowned in an accident at Camp Crystal Lake. Mrs. Voorhees used to be the cook for Camp Crystal Lake. After Jason died, she killed Barry and Claudette in revenge.

During the events of Friday the 13th (1980) played by Betsy Palmer

A year after Jason drowns, Mrs. Voorhees murders Barry and Claudette. Years later, Mrs. Voohees picks up Annie, who is hitchhiking. After Annie jumps out of Mrs. Voorhees' jeep, she kills Annie. She then systematically kills Ned, Jack, Marcie, Brenda, Bill and Steve Christy. Alice runs outside of the main cabin and Mrs. Voorhees introduces herself with a smile. Alice tells Mrs. Voorhees what has happened and they go into the cabin and see Brenda's body. Mrs. Voorhees says Steve never should have reopened the camp and then tells Alice about her son Jason, who is the boy that drowned, as she puts it, while the counselors where making love and not paying attention. Mrs. Voorhees hears a voice in her head calling for help and blames Alice for killing Jason. Mrs. Voorhees pulls out a knife and Alice knocks her down with a fire poker. Mrs. Voorhees starts to mimic the voice of Jason telling her to kill Alice and chases after her. Alice goes into the shed and Mrs. Voorhees turns the generator back on. Mrs. Voorhees starts to slap Alice, but is knocked unconscious when Alice hits her with the butt of the rifle. Alice returns to the main cabin and tries to find a hiding place. Mrs. Voorhees attacks her with a machete and Alice knocks her unconscious with a frying pan, before dropping it and going outside. She goes to the dock and is again attacked by Mrs. Voorhees. Alice knocks the machete out of Mrs. Voorhees' hands and cuts off Mrs. Voorhees' head.
