And although Mr. Voorhees did not make it into filmed product of Jason Lives, his story did live on in the Simon Hawke adaptation of the movie. Most recently, the special edition DVD of Jason Lives showcased storyboard art created by Crash Cunningham, which depicts the original ending of Jason Lives.

Crash’s interpretation of Father Voorhees is actually what alot of fans have envisioned Jason’s father to look like, from what I have read on various forums.

Later, the idea of Jason’s father was toyed around with in the script stages of Jason Goes To Hell. The character was originally conceived as Jason’s brother, Elias, and then morphed into Jason’s father. Then, Jay Hughley and others even considered making the character the actual killer of Jason Goes To Hell. The final decision was made to exclude the character and story line altogether.

Should Jason’s father be included into the Friday the 13th storyline on film or should he remain a mystery to the franchise?
