History Main / HockeyMaskAndChainsaw

* ''Series/MadTV'': In the "[[Film/Apollo13 Apollo the 13th]]: When Jason Takes NASA" sketch, hockey-mask wearing Jason Voorhees invades the moon shuttle and kills a person with a chainsaw.

* ''Videogame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' has "[[PunnyName Jiei-San]]", a man who gets confused for a serial killer because he's a large blood-splattered man carrying a giant knife who wears a hockey mask. In actuality, he's just a butcher trying to practice cutting meat and the hockey mask is for keeping blood out of his face (as well as him actually being a former hockey player), which isn't helped by the fact that he's socially awkward and talks in HulkSpeak. His unique attack as a Summon has him terrifying enemies by messily chopping up a large slab of meat before attempting to offer them some choice slices.

* ''Film/ShriekIfYouKnowWhatIDidLastFridayTheThirteenth'': Played with. The killer starts out wearing a hockey mask, but this morphs into the Ghostface mask when he accidentally catches fire. Later he totes a chainsaw to kill someone.

** While Jason Voorhees is responsible for [[TropeCodifier codifying the "Hockey Mask" part of the trope]], he never actually used a chainsaw at any point in the series, his [[WeaponSpecialization weapon of choice]] instead being a {{machete|Mayhem}} alongside a number of other weapons. In fact, on both of the occasions when a chainsaw appeared in the series, in the [[Film/FridayThe13thPart2 second]] and [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning fifth]] films, it was used ''against him'' by the FinalGirl.

* ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor'' has a marine named Jason who wears a hockey mask and uses a chainsaw as his WeaponOfChoice. He also tends to be blamed whenever something breaks and there's a RunningGag regarding him always being sick on Fridays.

* Nike's infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLhdE1DiebU chainsaw commercial]] from the 2000 Olympics featured a villain with a chainsaw, and with a [[WhiteMaskOfDoom white plastic mask]] more like Michael Myers' from ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'', chasing a woman played by track star Suzy Favor Hamilton. [[http://www.cbsnews.com/news/nike-chainsaw-attack-ad-pulled/ Contemporary news reports]] when the ad was pulled described it as a hockey mask, however, because this trope created that expectation.

* Some levels in ''VideoGame/AMCSquad'' pit the titular team against [[https://amctc.fandom.com/wiki/Chainsaw_Cultist Chainsaw Cultists]], a step up from the ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}''-flavored cultists the team has been encountering so far. If they get close enough to grapple, [[PressXToNotDie expect to mash the Use Key or risk getting bisected.]] Bonus points for including a level-exclusive cultist [[Film/JasonX wearing a more metallic goalie mask than the rest]].

While it might seem like a case of ShallowParody, even the people who know a lot about horror/slasher films tend to use this trope, so that's not the case. It's likely just a CaptainErsatz of the two, since neither of them are [[PublicDomainCharacter in the public domain]][[note]]Both characters will not enter the public domain until around 2100.[[/note]].

This is something of a DeadUnicornTrope, since it isn't actually based on any single slasher movie character. It's actually a CompositeCharacter between two famous SlasherMovie killers: Jason Voorhees of the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' series and Leatherface of ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'' series.

A SisterTrope to SackheadSlasher (drawing on Jason's pre-hockey mask iteration).

While it might seem like a case of ShallowParody, even the people who know a lot about horror films use this trope, so that's not the case. It's just as likely just a CaptainErsatz of the two, since neither of them are [[PublicDomainCharacter in the public domain]].

Note that while wearing a mask while using a chainsaw is generally a good idea even when using it to cut up the things it's intended for (sawdust and splinters can end up flying everywhere when using a chainsaw on wood), a hockey mask would not be a good choice of one (because it doesn't include [[EyeScream eye protection]]).

* Inverted in ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight'', where the Trapper is wearing a leathery facemask, and carries an improvised [[MacheteMayhem machete]]. The other ''Dead by Daylight'' killers are aversions, with no hockey masks and only two chainsaws -- the Hillbilly, a Leatherface {{Expy}}, and, um, Leatherface himself.

* A ''Advertising/{{GEICO}}'' commercial shows a bunch of dumb teenagers hiding behind chainsaws in a shed with a killer wearing a hockey mask. He's not shown ''using'' a chainsaw, but the implication's there.

Cue Prankster threatening Galaxy television boss Morgan Edge with a ''[[Film/MotelHell pig]]'' [[Film/MotelHell mask and chainsaw]], while ranting that ''this'' was what kids were watching these days, and compared to that what were a few pranks?
* ''ComicBook/HackSlash'': When a [[MacheteMayhem big knife]] is not enough to get the job done, Vlad will switch to a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]]. Although his mask is a respirator rather than a hockey mask, visually it conveys the same impression.

* Seen on Clark Griswold in ''Film/NationalLampoonsChristmasVacation''. He's wearing the mask for safety reasons while he uses the saw to shorten the ridiculously large Christmas tree, but the reference is obvious, since he's also undergoing definite SanitySlippage at this point in the film.
* ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'':
** Jason Voorhees never actually used a chainsaw at any point in the series, his WeaponOfChoice instead being a {{machete|Mayhem}}. However, the Turkish poster for ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'' uses [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3ppxBX5WQTs/UVqTHh5uZXI/AAAAAAAADhs/VLLyi-dRE6M/s200/turkishpart6_poster.jpg this combination.]] [[CoversAlwaysLie He still uses only his trusty machete in the film.]]
** ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood'' is the only movie where Jason uses a gas-powered weapon, taking a hedge trimmer to [[GuttedLikeAFish some poor sucker's belly]].

After some chanting, the brother (played by Tackleberry) awakes, firing up his chainsaw to cut his way out of the bag. And he's wearing a hockey mask, of course.

* ''Film/ShriekIfYouKnowWhatIDidLastFridayTheThirteenth'': Played with. The killer starts out wearing a hockey mask, but this morphs into the Ghostface mask when he accidentally catches fire. Later he totes a chainsaw to kill someone.

* One of the enemies in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin'' sports this ensemble.

* Cemetery stages in ''VideoGame/{{Gex}}'' feature burly enemies of this type, who for added benefit also wear a [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet red and green striped t-shirts]].

* The level "Boo! Haunted House" in ''VideoGame/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures'' has none other than Jason himself (in his notorious [[VideoGame/FridayThe13th cyan and purple incarnation]]) running back and forth with a chainsaw.
* Stitches, the FrankensteinsMonster of ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'', has an alternative "Psycho" skin which has him with a hockey mask and a chainsaw.

* In ''VideoGame/MegamiTenseiII'', the demon [[Film/TheShining Redrum]] and its PaletteSwap [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Friday]] sport hockey masks and wield chainsaws.
* Luigi's Classic Mode path in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', which is themed after ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' specifically and horror generally, has one MultiMookMelee stage where he fights a horde of Mii Fighters, several of whom are costumed like this.
* One of the ghosts in ''[[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} New Ghostbusters II]]'' is designed to evoke this.

* One of the titular ''WebAnimation/DumbWaysToDie'' in the PublicServiceAnnouncement of the same name is to "invite a psycho killer inside." The video depicts a door opening to a sprite wearing a hockey mask and armed with a chainsaw and [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger glove.]]

* One of the homicidal sprites in ''Webcomic/KidRadd'' fit this description.

* Macabre horror-{{Mons}} ''WebOriginal/{{Mortasheen}}'' is definitely referencing this trope with its chainsaw-hockey-masked mascot creature, [[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/chainsawkid.htm the Chainsaw Kid.]] Yes, that is the proper syntax; its chainsaw ''is'' its mask.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** When Bart Simpson is threatened with death by Sideshow Bob the family gets put in WitnessProtection. Bart is in his room trying to go to sleep when Homer bursts in screaming: first with a butcher knife to cut him a brownie...
--->'''Homer:''' '''''BARTYOUWANTSOMEBROWNIESBEFOREYOUGOTOBED?!?!'''''
** ... and again to show off his stuff:
--->'''Homer:''' '''''BARTDOYOUWANTTOSEEMYNEWCHAINSAWANDHOCKEYMASK?!?!?!'''''

* In the Halloween episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Island'', the contestants' challenge is to survive a slasher movie scenario, with the antagonist known only as "The Escaped Psycho Killer With A Chainsaw and a Hook", whose weapons are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a chainsaw and a hook]]. The "slasher's" hockey mask stops the contestants immediately noticing that Chef Hatchet is playing the part. Later, a real Escaped Psycho Killer with a Chainsaw and a Hook, who is white to [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience tip the audience off that he's not Chef, who is black]], appears and menaces Gwen. Because the whole thing is PlayedForLaughs, Chef's chainsaw is mounted on a hockey stick and the real killer is a wimp despite his imposing appearance.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', [[BabysitterFromHell Vicky]] dons these at one point, though Timmy barely reacts.
--> '''Timmy''': Phew, it's just a goalie. ''(Vicky removes the hockey mask)'' AAAAHH!!! VICKY!!!
** In "The Big Fairy Share Scare!", Chloe's wish that everyone in Dimmsdale should want to share causes Vicky to give her chainsaw to a hulking brute in a hockey mask who proceeds to wreak havoc.

Note that while wearing a mask while using a chainsaw is generally a good idea even when using it to cut up the things it's intended for (sawdust and splinters can end up flying everywhere when using a chainsaw on wood), a hockey mask would not be a good choice of one (because it doesn't include eye protection).

* ''Literature/SonicTheHedgehogInCastleRobotnik'' sees Sonic meeting a large rabbit called Jase with such a combo in an underground passage and is chased into darkness. Bumping a scraping through the darkness he uses the constant reeving of the chainsaw to figure out how close the rabbit is. In the end the rabbit ends up falling down a hole and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard leaving a big mess after the machine has done it's work]].
