Your Favorite Design/Look Of Jason Voorhees
There was a pretty good discussion going on between the visitors on our site in another blog posting and I thought it would be good to start a blog on this topic as it is always something that is greatly debateable and fun to discuss! Thanks to JJ for bringing up this point. I think I’ll start a new discussion each week or so on a new Friday topic and see where it leads us.
What’s your favorite look of Jason?
Disclaimer: This is not a Bracket Challenge. 
Part 2
The sackhead is in vogue again due to the new movie that was just releases, but the original is a classic. Goota love those overalls and flannel shirt too.
Part 3
The original, clean look of Jason with the hockey mask for the first time. The mysterious change in outfits and loss of hair on head and face for Jason is overlooked and forgotten about due to the introduction of the hockey mask.
The Final Chapter
Essentially the same look as Part 3, except now including the trademark axe cut to the head. The most famous battle damage in franchise history.
A New Beginning
Pseudo Jason or just plain Roy to some, is sporting the mechanics coverals and blue chevron hock. As this is technically not Jason, it is easy to dismiss this look, but since he is being passed off as Jason for the purposes of this movie, his look is worth noting. Also, I can’t tell you how many people think that Jason wears the mechnics suit permanently as his real attire.
Jason Lives
Jason returns from the grave, this time his outfit includes yellow work gloves and psycho utility belt. This belt comes complete with machete, hunting knife and throwing darts. Questions is, what paintballer takes this belt with them to just play a paintball game?
The New Blood
This makeup masterpiece highlights all of the battle damage that has been inflicted on Jason throughout all of the movies as well as lake rot that has eaten Jason literally to the bone. Exposed teeth and jaw, spine and rib cage show off the evil insides of Jason!
Jason Takes Manhattan
Somehow after spending more time at the bottom of Crystal Lake, Jason can grow clothes back onto his body and have no more exposed body parts. At any rate, Jason has a cool look of a slimmed down Manhattan night stalker with black gloves to boot.
Jason Goes To Hell
This version of Jason is an amalgamation of all looks from the franchise. The enlarged head is reintroduced from Part 2 as well as the exposed spine , axe cut and missing eye from the machete blow to the head from Part 4. The coolest part of this look is the fact that the hockey mask has become fused to the head of Jason, almost melted in. Also, Jason has hair again!
Jason X (Regular Look)
Jason has hair, once again, as well as a torn up straight jacket and shackles attached to him to really sell the look of deranged killer. Although this hockey mask is a departue from the classic look of the others in the series.
Jason X (Uber Jason)
A total departue from any look ever imagined possible in the franchise. Hated by many, there is no denying that within the context of this movie it looks great. A well conceived look, it is one of the better special effects job done in the movie. Metal mask, red eyes and a futuristic machete. He was indeed upgraded!
Freddy vs Jason
Jason returns to the dark skinned, rotting corpse complexion that many came to love in the late 80’s. The original hockey mask design returns as well and now Jason is cold and wears a Jacket. Oh yea, don’t forget the Ronny Yu special, Herman Munster walking boots.
Friday the 13th (2009)
The sack returns and looks completely menacing. Some say that they should have left Jason wearing this the whole movie. Outside of Jason wearing the jacket once again as in Freddy vs Jason, the new feature to Jason is his leg brace holster attachment for storing his machete. Awesome!

too me .its just not the look but also how the part was played;so with that in mind……….part 3&4 have got my vote as far as best look.the remake is kick ass other than the clothing……..the hood in the remake is cool also.the rest suck.cheers
The New Blood
Top 3
1. Part 4
2. Part 3
3. Part 2
The REMAKE all the way. Jason never looked so badass.
In terms of the perfect look, I like Jason Goes To Hell. I love the fact that the mask is a part of his head and that the film makers went back to the oblong head from Part 2. The damage on the mask is awesome too. The New Blood is a close second.
I like the part 5 Jason. Both in the dream sequences, and as Roy. Jason looks good in that one, way better than an of the Kane Hodder Jason’s IMO. I liked the remake jason a lot too. He’s the best of the later films.
Body: The New Blood
Mask: The Final Chapter
Face: Jason Lives
4,7 and the remake are my favs
3 & 4
PATRS 3,4,AND NEW BLOOD are sick ..!!!and part 5 dream sequences are spooky!!! jason should chase you..
Part 3.
Plus, I want to comment…
“The original, clean look of Jason with the hockey mask for the first time. The mysterious change in outfits and loss of hair on head and face for Jason is overlooked and forgotten about due to the introduction of the hockey mask.”
Maybe Jason grabbed a new outfit and a pack of shaving razors at the grocery store at the beginning of 3??? lol He prolly grabbed and drank out of the same OJ the owner was chugging out of. Donuts too…
I liked part 6 jason and mask. The remake look was also good
My favorites are III, IV, Jason X Regular, JvF, and the remake. I tend to prefer Jason’s face as it appeared in the earlier films, but- I feel a little silly admitting this- I also like Jason in layers. It adds a little distinctive variety without making him look too deliberately coordinated (since he’s supposedly scrounging his clothes from wherever), and seems to work whether he’s got the bag or the mask.
1- Jason Goes to Hell
2- The Final Chapter
Part 3….Classic
Part 3 and 4 are the best imo.
Part 7 The New Blood. John Buechler did an amazing job on the makeup. Thats the Jason that scared the shit out of Me when I was younger. The exposed ribcage and spine truly terrifying.
I think this little debate merits a bracket challenge in it’s own right but hey.My picks for Jason incarnations are as follows,(#1 being my fave).
1)Part vii,TNB.(Hodders finest hour and best use of SFX).
2)Part vi,JL.
3)Part iv,TFC.(Arguably the most iconic incarnation).
4)Part viii,JTM.(Consistently looked slimy and creepy throughout the entire movie).
5)Part xii,(reboot).(Post Y2K,pre undead Jason looked exactly how he should for the modern age).
6)Part IX.JGTH.
7)Part x,JX.(Pre uber Jason).
8)Part ii.
9)Part iii.
10)Part x,JX.(Uber Jason).
11)Part xi,FvsJ.(A wimp in a halloween costume).
12)Part v,ANB.(Last becuse tecnically he aint Jason).
Thanks for the shoutout JF!!!!
Each movie has elements that I like. For example I love the sack head. I think it is scary as shit. But I’m not to hot on his farmer clothes he wears.
New Blood look was awesome. It took into consideration that he has lake rot and seemed to keep up with what battle wounds he had. The exposed teeth and jaw, spine and rib cage were awesome. Set the tone that this guy is fucked up.
I agree with JF, Jason goes to Hell has prob one of the best looks. I love the mask stuck on his face.
My favorite looks would be the clean look Jason and Uber Jason tied for number one. What could look better then a pissed off cyber Jason? Probably nothing cause how can he be stopped. He basically starts clean and fresh with an upgrade. I like the clean looks. Second would be tied again with the new sack head as well as New Blood. Both for obvious reasons…..they kicked ass. The new concept of the sack was ac lever adaptation to the original and frankly was much better than the original, IMO. It was something they wanted to introduce to the “New Crowd” of fans but par homage to the old fans and they pulled it off beautifully.
A couple that I hate are Freddy vs. Jason and Jason Lives. I mean why the jacket? That fits no where in the story. Well, it started with the suttle brown barely there jacket in JX, but now it became a jacket like my dad wears when he is outside in the snow. Too overdone. I am a fan of the movie because they pulled off a movie that many including myself would never take place. But they screwed up royally with the outfit. Jason lives with his stupid yellow deerskin gloves and utility belt? WTF? a Utility belt. Geeze guys is he human or is he dead? A dead guy probably dosen’t need a utility belt and he is dead right? I mean he came up from the grave.
So some extra thoughts JGTM was cool with the slippery wet look.
I got nothing on parts 4 and 5.
Jason X first look was cool in a creepy way.
and thanks for starting this new discussion series. I think it will continue to keep people around as well as bring in NEW BLOOD!
Wanted to make a suggestion for the next discussion JF. how’s about a discussion on best kill from each movie, or a bracket challenge on best kill? Maybe we could vote one kill a movie through discussion and then bracket challenge that shit?
Just an idea but I thin it could work.
I think that my favorite Jason look is from the F13 remake (especially when in the beginning of the film where we see sack-head Jason).
THE FINAL CHAPTER
My favorite is definitely the remake look. It’s simple, memorable, and creepy. I love the jacket and “wrap style” sack.
Germaniac said muppet jason lol
I also like “Pirate Jason” as well.
7.
3, 2, then 4 for me
I’m going to have to go off the board and say Part 1 Jason from the Lake! AS a child this was the most scared I have ever been in any Friday movie!
also what is “Pirate Jason”?
I like The New Blood Jason because that is what he would have looked like with all the bullet holes, axe wounds and a few months under the lake with alot of fish…..very creative. The Jason Takes Manahattan AND Jason X are by far the worse.
A close second and third to the best are parts 3 and 2 respectively.
Hands down The Final Chapter. I’m a fan of the bald, human part 3/4 look. I hate the hair that grew back and jacket of the later films. My 2nd favorite look would be VII.
Also I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE seeing Jasons eyes in the later films. Esp the cartoonish droopy eye in FvsJ and Remake.

This is tough. I liked the Jason Goes to Hell look for a long time. Both of the bag heads are cool. I also like the Final Chapter look. Jason is so great.
I Like part 3 jason the best part 2 jason comes in 2nd
i cant chose
i like all of them
From best to worst:
Part 3
Part 2
Part 4
Part 7
Part 6
Part 5
Part 8
Part 9
Part 10 (normal)
Part 11 (FVJ)
Part 10 (Ubershit)
Part 12 (both looks in the remake are stupid)
Part 3… to this day, this movie can still scare the crap outta me… definately the best Jason
many people may disagree but i really like the jason goes to manhattan costume
parts 2-4 were the best, in order parts 3,4,2
People, chek this out.

Part 7 is my fave, then the remake, part 6, part 4, part 2, and then its ok with the rest.
Hey fellow horror nuts! I recently purchased the two main vans used in RZ’s Halloween 2 from a prop auction. I bought the white coroners van that Michael Myers’ body was put in on the way to the morgue in the beginning of the movie. I also bought the black “shaggin wagon.” I am going to be listing both on ebay within a few weeks but thought to give real fans a heads up first. If ur seriously interested in details email me @ tamerhassan6603@yahoo.com
Like Germaniac, I’m starting with from the best to the worst.
1.) Part 4
2.) Part 3
3.) Part 7 (One of the best makeup on Jason ever)
4.) Remake (Both the sack & mask)
5.) Part 2
6.) Freddy vs. Jason
7.) Part 6
8.) Part 5 (Even though it’s Roy, but it look like Jason with the outfit. Plus, I kinda admit digging the blue cheek marks.)
9.) Part 8
10.) JGTH (Don’t like the big meatball head along with the mistake of him having no eye on the right side, when it was suppose to be the left one.)
11.) Jason X normal (Don’t like the Simpsons’s Moe nose look on the hockey mask & the horrible hair job.)
12.) Jason X Uber version (This one said it all. Jason should never look like he is a big fan of Lord Zedd with almost copying that metal body look.)
Jason from part 3. ‘Nuff said!

My personal favorite is the 2024 sack head just because it is remade from the original and looks so much better. And second would be FVJ look…Ken is a beast
Wow,all friday fans seem to have so many different opinions of the best Jason look,well your all wrong!…just kidding
I think its cool how all the fans can have a whole different idea of how they think Jason should look or how a friday movie should be made and their is no wrong answer,my personal favorite look is part 3 Jason,I also think it has a lot to do with what ones favorite movie is.
Part 3 all the way. Although I did like the sackhead looks in part 2 and the remake.
Part 4 is my favorite but the bag head look from 2 is a close second.

8 PART 3
Others not bad, but those are the best ones for me
part 3– i like the clean, brand new jason with his jcpenney workshirt, newly pressed dickies and shiny black combat boots. great look
part 1 at the end should be up here, that was the original image that gave me nightmares growing up and got me into the whole series.
that beihg said my scores would have to be…
Part 3 (with and without mask)
part 2 hood but more so without (ginger jason owns) bah!
part 4
part 5 – dream jason (real jason)
part 6
part 7
jgth (hes so mangled and the skin growing over the mask looks rad)
redux hood
redux mask
vs. (to skinny and looked like a burnt biscut plus the mask was too large and not damaged, no axe chop no dice I say)
jx uber and regular both were equally decent.
jtm. to wet the whole flick and that mask for some readon didnt scare me much as a kid.
part v – Roy last but not least!
My Favorites are def
VII The New Blood. – This is the Jason i would be scared shitless if I saw roaming the woods. This is the way i would have made jason look if i made a movie. Everyhting was perfect with his look. John Carl Buchler(im sure i spelled it wrong) did everything right when it came to the look of Jason(and the original look of tina’s dad for that matter)
IX Jason Goes To Hell – I agree with J.J. and Jason’s Fury on the look of this. He bulked up a bit but the scene of him Walking out of the cabin and looking around then walking through the woods made him seem like one pissed off zombie you dont want to cross paths with.
XII Reboot – Now i loved most of the scenes with both the mask and the sack. I have always loved the hockey mask way more than the sack but to be honest with you in this movie the sack was just terrifying. I mean the whole beginning blew me away and to come across this oversized guy wearing a fucking sack like that, the only thing i could do would be in a corner crying and shitting myself.
My fave has got to be JTM’s version. The yellowed mask gives the look a creepy feel, yet at the same time a “classic” feel.
