To avenge the killing of his mother! You need to watch the 1980 version to get the true meaning and back-story of the Friday the 13th franchise.His mother did the killing in the original Friday the 13th to teach the camp counsellor's a lesson, because years before, Jason had been teased by other kids as he was horribly disfigured and he had fallen into the lake off of the jetty and the counsellor's who were meant to be watching, were just chilling out and ignoring his cries & he tragically died.So his mom/mum came back to Camp Crystal Lake, some years later to kill a new breed of counsellor's. She gets beheaded at the end of the 1st film by one gutsy girl, who is shown in a boat on the lake the morning after and all of a sudden she is pulled in by Jason.For the subsequent movies, it is said that Jason witnessed the beheading of his mother and they are of him wreaking havoc and killing anyone who dares set foot in his sanctuary that is Camp Crystal Lake to avenge the loss of his mother.I recommend Parts 1 & 2 for the story purpose, but thereafter it is just Jason picking off trespassers in the other 7 movies really. Jason X is pretty good too, for a modern revamp of the Jason character.
Lt. Eric A. Kranz had a part in the movie and it was toward the end of the movie when there were two actors who got out of the police car and went down to the lake and called to the girl in the boat just before Jason pulled her out of the boat into the water. Eric also did most of the driving scenes with the police cars as insurance did not cover civillians to drive them.
Despite repeated warnings to stay away, a group of fun-loving but none-too-bright teenagers set out to reopen the eerie Camp Crystal Lake, which closed 20 years earlier after a series of bizarre and unexplained deaths. Now someone is lurking in the woods, spying on the happy campers, and plotting a gory, grisly revenge on those who would disturb the camp's slumber.
Some mean old kid pushed him in and he could not swim so sadly he sank down to the bottom of the lake and now he just sits there waiting for someone to kill. That is what really happed daaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
