Jason Voorhees: From Camp Counselor to Big Apple Stalker - How Did He Do It?
Ah, Jason Voorhees. Hockey mask-wearing, machete-wielding, undead embodiment of summer camp nightmares. But everyone has to start somewhere, right? This time, we're not talking about his drowning (though, spoiler alert, that plays a part). We're discussing the question that's plagued moviegoers for decades: How in the heck did Jason get to New York City?
Cabin Fever Turns into Manhattan Misery: The Boat Trip from Heck
Forget fancy planes or comfy trains. Jason, ever the budget traveler (let's face it, the guy's wardrobe is, uh, limited), opts for a luxurious... high school graduation cruise. Yes, you read that right. In "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan," our favorite slasher hitches a ride on a ship full of hormonal teenagers. Talk about a cramped commute!
Sub-heading: But Jason, Can't You Walk on Water?
Well, technically, undead rage might keep him afloat, but apparently not steer him across the Atlantic. Plus, a cruise probably has an all-you-can-eat buffet, which is important for a growing undead mass murderer.
Stowaway Secrets: How Jason Became a Not-So-Secret Guest
So, how exactly did Jason sneak onto this grad getaway? Theories abound, but here are the top contenders:
- The Anchor Chain: Ever the resourceful hitchhiker, Jason might have simply grabbed hold of the ship's anchor as it set sail. Talk about a killer grip!
- Teenage Tomfoolery Gone Wrong: Maybe a prank gone awry? We wouldn't put it past these thrill-seeking teens to accidentally (or maybe not-so-accidentally) bring a hockey-masked maniac on board.
- Supernatural Creepshow: Let's not forget the possibility of, you know, the undead being magically drawn to the energetic life force of teenagers. Just a hunch.
Bold Text: Regardless of the method, one thing's for sure: Those teenagers REALLY regret that toga party now.
So Jason Made it to New York... Now What?
Well, as you might guess from the movie title, things don't go well for the graduating class (or the city that never sleeps). Let's just say Jason wasn't there for the sightseeing or the Broadway shows.
