Biography

Original

Pamela Voorhees

She got a job working as a short-fry cook at a local diner. On Friday, June 13, 1946, Pam met David and Louise Christy. The Christys told her that they were reopening a campground out near the lake and asked her to work for them cooking for seventy-five children over the summer season. Pamela accepted the job and went into labour. Her son Jason Voorhees was born with severe physical deformities, although Pamela believed her son was perfect. In June 1957, Pam was working at Crystal Lake when she received news about her son. Rushing home, she learned from her nanny Mrs. Cunningham that Jason had been killing and mutilating small kittens. Instead of admonishing Jason, Pamela cradled him and told him she would always protect him. She also decided that she would have to leave her job in order to keep an eye on Jason. However Dave Christy invited her to bring Jason to live at the campground as an alternative, so that she could always keep an eye on him. Later that year, 11 year old Jason Voorhees drowned in Crystal Lake and the "death" of her child drove the overprotective Pamela insane. The camp counselors, who had been charged with keeping an eye on him, were off making love in the woods. Stricken with grief, Pamela took some time away from the camp. In 1958, she begged the Christys for the chance to work at the camp again. Her motivation behind this is unclear, but it may have been sparked by the knowledge that the two negligent counselors who allowed her son to drown, Barry and Claudette, were once again working at Camp Crystal Lake. At an unknown time, the water was poisoned and several acts of arson occurred at the camp. Pamela avenged her son's death against two camp counselors whom she found having sex inside of a cabin. Pamela believed that these two reflected the sinful nature of all whose actions allowed her son to die.
