Jason Vorhees, 'Friday the 13th'

Your Motivation: You're the notorious Jason Vorhees. You drowned as a child because those punk kid lifeguards at Camp Crystal Lake were off fooling around. Now, unencumbered by your own death, you've grown into a strapping man who seeks vengeance upon anyone who enters the old campgrounds.

Key Characteristics: Pre-grunge flannel shirt, optional jacket, machete, hockey mask covering disfigured corpse face, desperate need for a shower.

Typical Dialogue: None, although you're followed by an incessant "ch-ch-ch-ha-ha-ha" sound effect that you'd think would tip off potential victims to your presence.

How to Achieve the Look*: Set yourself on fire, electrocute yourself, stick a machete in your face, drown yourself and if time permits, visit Hell for a bit.

The Easy Way Out: Compare prices on Jason Vorhees costumes
