It’s beyond debate that one of the most famous horror franchises is “Friday the 13th.” But one question still remains: how can Jason Vorhees, the killer in the series, die at the end of every movie only to see a sequel a few years later?
Brad Fuller, one of the main people responsible for the 2016 sequel to “Friday the 13th,” sat down for an interview with Esquire when the question of Jason’s immortality surfaced.
Said Fuller: “There’s always been this supernatural aspect to these movies. It defies logic that, you see Jason get killed in every movie, including ours, the 2009 one. And then he comes back and no one’s ever really investigated what that is.”
“So that’s something that I think about a little bit. Like it is supernatural, but what is he? Those are the things that we’re toying with. Nothing has been decided. But those type of things: How does he always come back?”
While there are various theories as how Mr. Vorhees manages to escape death so many times, we won’t get into those.
One thing’s for sure, though – the folk at Platinum Dunes and V/H/S would be smart to make sure the explanation for their main character’s repeated resurrection is good, or they’ll have a lot of discontent fans on their hands.
