What Does Friday The 13th’s Jason Voorhees Look Like Under The Mask?

If there’s one thing you can count on to happen in every «Friday the 13th» movie, it’s that Jason’s going to remove his mask at some point. The trend continues into «Friday the 13th Part III,» where Chris (Dana Kimmell) sees an unmasked Jason, and in an ensuing fight, she hits him with an axe to the head, which sadly isn’t enough to stop the monster Jason has become. 

He’s back in «Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,» which would prove to be false advertising. Jason loses his mask again after being hit in the head. Many consider this version of maskless Jason to be the definitive one, in part thanks to the great special effects work from legend Tom Savini. In 2008, he spoke with Friday the 13th: The Website about his contributions to the franchise and what went into the character’s iconic death toward the end, «Jason’s death evolved when one of my crew guys held up the Dawn of the Dead machete to his head and that gave me the idea of hitting Jason in the head with a machete, but then making him slide down the blade. They didn’t have an ending to the film until I showed up, replacing Greg Cannom, and we came up with all sorts of things besides his death.»

«Friday the 13th: A New Beginning» had Roy Burns (Dick Wieand) as the new killer, pretending to be Jason. But when Jason actually returned, he would take on a more monstrous visage.
