The hockey mask was modelled after a Detroit Red Wings goalie mask to hide the face of Jason Voorhees, a serial camp killer who first wears a bag over his head before graduating to the hockey mask.
This mask symbolizes teenage terror and has over the years become an iconic horror-movie prop. The film franchise is not a critics’ darling but it has grossed over $465 million at the box-office worldwide.
The franchise also relies on the sale of its merchandise, with the hockey mask leading the way. Characteristics of the mask, such as shape and color, have changed over the years, but the terror it revokes and symbolizes has not.
