History Franchise / FridayThe13th

* '''''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. Also, despite its name, ''Jason X'' has nothing to do with the Memetic Mutation of [[VideoGame/HeavyRain pressing X to Jason]].

* HalfwayPlotSwitch: ''The Jason Strain'' starts off with Jason on an island where people kill each other to win their freedom. Then, he is kidnapped by scientists, which leads to the novel turning into a story about zombies.

* ImprovisedWeaponUser: Oh, where to begin... While prevalent in all of the novels, Jason really gets creative in ''Carnival of Maniacs'', in which he uses,at first he kills one of the three goths by shoving the kid's cellphone down his throat. But it's his attack at the music video set that plays this trope to a T. He uses a crowbar,arc light, a cymbal off a drum kit, a keyboard plug, headphone cord, a mic stand, and his own hockey mask to deadly effect.

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

%%*ReligionOfEvil: ''Church of the Divine Psychopath''.

* WalkingWasteland: Jason has this power in ''Hate-Kill-Repeat''. Small animals and plants just drop dead if they stay close to him for too long.

* AssholeVictim: These are slasher films, so it's to be expected that there's at least one per movie, with [[DrJerk Dr.]] [[BigBadWannabe Crews]] from the seventh film being the biggest example and [[RabidCop Sheriff Garris]] from the sixth film being ranked the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold least terrible to point of actually defying this trope]].

* CombatPragmatist: In the "Tales from Crystal Lake" book "Mother's Day", Jason, while in the body of a hunter, simply shoots an escaping victim with a shotgun. Also in "Hell Lake", he begins his assault on the prison by gunning down several guards with a hunting rifle.

* ''Film/FridayThe13thVengeance'' (2019): A fan film where Tommy Jarvis has gone missing, and his older daughter now has to find her with the help of a group of friends affected by Jason.

* ChainsawGood: Both "Hate-Kill-Repeat" and "The Jason Strain" feature Jason killing people with a buzzsaw and and an electric bone saw, respectively. He even uses an actual chainsaw while possessing a man in "Jason's Curse"

%%*SinisterMinister: Eric Long in ''Church of the Divine Psychopath''.

** Double-whammy as the first movie takes it's place on the titular day ''and'' Jason's birthday.

** ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' and its comicbook sequel ''ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh''.

* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Jason's hockey mask in it's early appearances, over the time it becomes more yellowish and worn-out.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Jason is one of the most notable slashers in horror history, but somewhere deep (''very'' deep) inside is a MommasBoy [[MissingMom deeply misses her]] and [[WellDoneSonGuy feels he has to please her]]. To varying degrees this was always the case thanks to him often being portrayed as a deformed manchild with mental deficiences and a murdered (even though she deserved it) mother. Being bullied as a child by his fellow campers and dying entirely thanks to the uncaring attitudes of the camp councillors adds to this. Several movies even add that it's not really his fault; it's either a demonic posession or a curse on the lake itself.
** There's a lot of Draco In Leather Pants fanfiction about him.
