Moreover, the initial concept behind the Friday the 13th series was to take an anthology approach to the movies (similar to what Halloween was supposed to do, but never did) before the creative team behind the series opted to stick with Jason.
Though a Friday the 13th movie without Jason Voorhees might seem blasphemous at first, it’s worth remembering the history of the franchise when we examine Adam Marcus’ recent comments on the Without Your Head Podcast.
Specifically, we need to acknowledge the fact that Jason wasn’t even the killer in the original movie; his mother Pamela was.
With all of that in mind, it’s incredibly interesting to wonder what a movie focusing on Creighton Duke could do for the series.
