History Franchise / FridayThe13th

** Well, the current comics forgets about the no animals part but this was a cast of ''[[IncrediblyLamePun Comically]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Missing the Point]] since it makes Jason a monster rather than a normal (although deformed) child messed up by assholes.

** Other comics also had crossovers with ''Satan's Six'' and ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre''.

'''[[TropeCodifier The]]''' {{Slasher Movie}} Franchise.

* EyepatchOfPower: Walter Hobb from ''Church of the Divine Psychopath'' wears an eyepatch and is quite competent as a soldier, [[spoiler:even managing to make it to the end alive]].

* PowerfulPick: The second diver that Jason kills in ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' goes by way of pickax through his eye.

* BespectacledCutie: Edward Daimler, an FBI agent in ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'', mentions that his new partner suddenly goes from hot to absolutely adorable when she briefly puts on a pair of reading glasses. [[spoiler:It turns out to be an act and costs Daimler his life.]]

* BespectacledCutie: An FBI agent in ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' mentions that his new partner suddenly goes from hot to absolutely adorable when she briefly puts on a pair of reading glasses.

* HopeSpot: Near the end of "Carnival Of Maniacs", Jason takes off his mask and puts it on the Jason obsessed rock-star who bought him off the internet. The guy cries with joy, until he realizes that Jason only put it on him to kill him with said mask . Also crosses over to TooDumbToLive.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'', Tom Sheridan is a marketing executive attending a company retreat with his colleagues, but realises during the holiday that he doesn't like who he's becoming in his job and is equally uncomfortable with his so-called friends. When Halo Harlen shows up looking for her older sister and most of Tom's colleagues ignore her, Tom rejects them all as jerks and offers to help Halo search (which saves his life when Jason shows up later and slaughters most of Tom's now-former colleagues).

* WouldHurtAChild: Not explicitly shown, but in ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' Jason kills a family that includes a small boy and an infant.

* BreakTheCutie: Meredith Host from ''Church of the Divine Psychopath'' who's bubbly, innocent and just seems perpetually happy, actually managing to befriend the [[TheLadette surly]] FinalGirl of the book. Things quickly degenerate when she witnesses her parents be butchered in front of her by Jason, with the leader of the [[ReligionOfEvil mad Jason-worshipping cult]] they were apart of (thought it was just a regular church group) saying they deserved it; she also winds up dealing with lots of self-hate over being a closet lesbian due to her religious upbringing and near the end winds up [[AttemptedRape almost being raped]] by one of the aforementioned mad cultists, who had grown steadily more obsessed with her. Though she's saved at the last minute by one the soldiers sent out to track down and kill Jason [[KillTheCutie she still dies quite horribly]] when Jason randomly shows up seconds later and splits her head open before the soldier can even get a shot at him.

* TheScourgeOfGod: Played with in ''Church of the Divine Psychopath''. Eric Long resurrects Jason with the intent of ridding his flock of sinners, believing Jason to be an instrument of divine vengeance. Of course, Jason being Jason, he begins massacring ''everyone'' in his path, including Long.

* WrongGenreSavvy: The Thawnes in ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' think that Jason shares their fixation on killing those who break their moral code, but only realise after they've met Jason that he just kills whoever's in his vicinity and his chosen victims make their criteria just by chance.

* '''''Film/FreddyVsJason'' (2003)''' -- Jason teams up with, then turns on, Freddy Krueger; this leads them to stalk and kill a bunch of teenagers before they fight each other, but in the end, [[EvasiveFightThreadEpisode they settle nothing]]. [[spoiler:If you consider the statistics, Jason technically won with over twenty kills to Freddy's one. Word Of God also differs on who ultimately won and what the ending of the film means, depending on which "God" you talk to.]] The film takes place after both ''Jason Goes To Hell'' and ''Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare''; ''Jason X'' and ''Film/WesCravensNewNightmare'' have no bearing on the film's story, though some fans consider it a prequel of sorts to ''Jason X''.

A sequel to the 2009 reboot lingered in {{development hell}} for years, but as Warner gave the rights back to Paramount, it seemed to finally be on its way – until it then officially cancelled in February 2017, due to the failure of Paramount's then-recent franchise horror release, ''Film/{{Rings}}''.

But [[FollowTheLeader following the success]] of 2018's ''Film/{{Halloween|2018}}'', [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/friday-13th-reboot-works-lebron-james-vertigo-entertainment-1154236?utm_source=twitter it was reported]] that the long-awaited [[MilestoneCelebration thirteenth]] installment of the franchise was in development at UsefulNotes/LeBronJames' production company, [=SpringHill=] Entertainment. Because of murky rights issues within the franchise, however (Victor Miller, who wrote the original 1980 film, regained ownership of his script as recently as September 2018, but ''not'' the Jason character, who developed into his current state over successive installments), it's not a guaranteed thing... yet. A later complication came in September 2021, when Miller [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/friday-the-13th-copyright-termination-appeal-1235023236/ won an appeal to reclaim the domestic rights to the franchise]], but with Cunningham retaining the foreign rights of the original and intellectual property from its sequels (most notably, Jason in his most recognizable form), it's uncertain what it could mean for the franchise's future. A prequel series, ''Crystal Lake'', was announced in 2022, set to be released on Creator/{{Peacock}} with Miller as executive producer.

[[folder:Novel Tropes]]
* AlphaBitch: Tina Chen in ''Jason's Curse''. Although she (begrudgingly) goes along with Kelly's plan to trap Jason, she spends most of her time being bitchy to Kelly and boyfriend Miguel, and later [[spoiler: almost sleeps with Kelly's boyfriend, Doug.]]

* BeneficialDisease: The titular virus of ''The Jason Strain'' is intended to be an ImmortalityInducer, using a modified strain of ''Herpes Simplex'' because it's impossible to get rid of. After Jason is infected, [[GoneHorriblyWrong it becomes a zombie plague.]]
* BespectacledCutie: An FBI agent in ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' mentions that his new partner suddenly goes from hot to absolutely adorable when she briefly puts on a pair of reading glasses.
* BreakTheCutie: Meredith Host from ''Church of the Divine Psychopath'' who's bubbly, innocent and just seems perpetually happy, actually managing to befriend the [[TheLadette surly]] FinalGirl of the book. Things quickly degenerate when she witnesses her parents be butchered in front of her by Jason, with the leader of the [[ReligionOfEvil mad Jason-worshipping cult]] they were apart of (thought it was just a regular church group) saying they deserved it; she also winds up dealing with lots of self-hate over being a closet lesbian due to her religious upbringing and near the end winds up [[AttemptedRape almost being raped]] by one of the aforementioned mad cultists, who had grown steadily more obsessed with her. Though she's saved at the last minute by one the soldiers sent out to track down and kill Jason [[KillTheCutie she still dies quite horribly]] when Jason randomly shows up seconds later and splits her head open before the soldier can even get a shot at him.
* CatScare: ''Church of the Divine Psychopath'' has a scene where the soldiers hunting Jason in the dark woods are all startled by a raccoon, right before Jason comes out of nowhere and attacks.
* ChainsawGood: Both "Hate-Kill-Repeat" and "The Jason Strain" feature Jason killing people with a buzzsaw and an electric bone saw, respectively. He even uses an actual chainsaw while possessing a man in "Jason's Curse"

* ConvenientMiscarriage: Near the end of ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'', Halo Harlan, the [[TeenPregnancy teenaged]] protagonist, who had earlier discovered she was pregnant, miscarries when Jason nonchalantly punches her in the stomach.

* DeadlyGame: ''The Jason Strain'' has several {{Condemned Contestant}}s put on a Southern island, with the winner getting a reduced sentence and transfer to a cushy minimum security facility. Along with Jason (a "special guest") the roster includes the framed main character, a mass murderer, a white supremacist, two serial killers, an Angel of Death nurse, a black widow, a serial rapist, a mob boss, and three street gang members.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' features a character managing to blow up a car simply by shooting its gas tank, in an attempt to stop Jason.

* FinalGirl: The ''Blake Flame'' novels, in order, include Kelly Mills, Gretchen Andrews, Hayley "Halo" Harlan, Alexandra Coyle, and Alice Witney. The majority of them subvert the usual expectations of a final girl, with Kelly being [[TheLadette promiscuous and foul-mouthed]], Halo being [[TeenPregnancy teenaged and pregnant]], and Alexandra being a bodybuilder convicted of murdering her cheating ex-boyfriend.
* {{Fingore}}: ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' ends with secondary character Tom Sheridan losing half the fingers on his left hand when he deflects Jason's attack before main protagonist Halo Harlan draws Jason away for a final rooftop showdown (of course, considering what Jason usually does to people, 'just' losing a few fingers to him is lucky).

* JackTheRipoff: In the ''Tales from the Crystal Lake'' book ''Road Trip'', a state trooper, driven off the deep end by catching his best friend in bed with his wife, makes plans to kill them, and make it look like Jason's work. He succeeds, but is killed by the real Jason (who is [[DemonicPossession possessing a guy]]) shortly after.

While each movie follows the previous one (and sometimes start directly after the previous film), the series doesn't have many recurring elements aside from Jason and the Crystal Lake location. Parts 4, 5, and 6 buck the trend, as they feature the character of Tommy Jarvis. As a boy (in the fourth film), Tommy managed to kill Jason with a machete in self-defense to save his sister, but partially loses his mind when he sees Jason's fingers twitch and continues to hack away at his body; when he grows up, Tommy dedicates himself to the destruction of Jason at any cost -- but in an ironic twist, Tommy's quest to eradicate Jason inadvertently becomes the catalyst for Jason's resurrection as a undead being.

* '''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'' (1986)''' -- Tommy Jarvis, now somewhat stable, sets out to destroy Jason's remains once and for all, in hopes to remove his hallucinations of him forever. This movie may involve the biggest case of NiceJobBreakingItHero EVER, since Jason is resurrected by a lightning bolt and heads straight back to Crystal Lake, now renamed to Forest Green, to resume killing once again. This is the first of the series to now have Jason as a undead, even more powerful being with supernatural abilities. Unlike the rest of the series, there's little to no nudity at all present in the film. The film is also notable for being the only one with children present at the camp, considering the camp is now finally open unlike in the first and second films.

* DisposableWoman: Most of the MsFanservice characters (most who fall under the trope DeathBySex) who end up DropDeadGorgeous [[SarcasmMode thanks]] to Jason.

* '''''Film/JasonX'' (2002)''' -- Jason Goes To Space. Teenagers (and {{Space Marine}}s) end up stalked and killed on a spaceship after they pick up Jason's [[HumanPopsicle cryogenically frozen body]] at an abandoned Crystal Lake research facility in the far future. After Jason fights a robot, he ''becomes'' a robot and kills more people. Essentially an AffectionateParody of the franchise, it's also remembered for one of the best death sequences in the series (a woman has her face frozen in liquid nitrogen before Jason smashes it to pieces). Creator/DavidCronenberg makes a brief appearance.

* FinalGirl: The ''Blake Flame'' novels, in order, include Kelly Mills, Gretchen Andrews, Hayley Harlan, Alexandra Coyle, and Alice Witney. The majority of them subvert the usual expectations of a final girl, with Kelly being [[TheLadette promiscuous and foul-mouthed]], Hayley being [[TeenPregnancy teenaged and pregnant]], and Alexandra being a bodybuilder convicted of murdering her cheating ex-boyfriend.
* {{Fingore}}: ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' ends with secondary character Tom Sheridan losing half the fingers on his left hand when he deflects Jason's attack before main protagonist Halo Harlan diverts Jason's attention (of course, considering what Jason usually does to people, 'just' losing a few fingers to him is lucky).

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Jason is defeated in ''Hate-Kill-Repeat'' when he is forced off the roof of a hotel building and lands on the phoenix statue in the fountain in front of the building; the statue's wings are spread so that there are eight 'feathers' pointing upwards, with all eight of these 'feathers' impaling Jason's body to the extent that one goes into his head.

* MundaneLuxury: Sissy Keene, a hillbilly BoxedCrook from ''The Jason Strain enjoys'' her time in prison, because she gets running water, a flush toilet, and a "tee-vee right there in her cell!"

''Friday the 13th'', a VillainBasedFranchise of {{Slasher Movie}}s (with twelve installments and [[StealthPun a thirteenth]] stumbling through DevelopmentHell), revolves around a hockey-masked wearing, machete-wielding, PsychopathicManchild Zombie named Jason Voorhees. Local legends say Jason drowned at Camp Crystal Lake due to the negligence of the teenage camp counselors, and decades later, the lake and surrounding campgrounds -- considered "cursed" by locals -- become the setting for a series of mass murders staged on or around Friday the 13th (Jason's birthday).

** Followed seventeen years later by the e-book "The Mask of Jason Voorhees", which acts as a proper ending for the series, a sequel to ''Jason Goes to Hell'', and CanonWelding with the [[Series/FridayThe13thTheSeries unrelated TV series]].
