History WMG / FridayThe13th

[[WMG: The events of ''Film/JasonX'' were a dream created by Freddy to test Jason.]]
Before using Jason to his advantage, Freddy wanted to know just what Jason was capable of. This explains both why Jason X was released before ''Film/FreddyVSJason'', and the [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace ridiculousness of the premise]].

[[WMG: Jason doesn't actually come back to life at the end of the remake, it's a bad dream]]
* Whitney dozes off, relieved to finally be rid of him. Then WHAMMO! nightmare.
** Or, after dropping the mask to the water, the two head to the car, THEN Whitney fell asleep during the ride home.

[[WMG: The telekinetic girl the seventh film was a relative of Literature/{{Carrie}}]]
They both have mental powers, they both are messed up, and the book did say the gene for telekinesis only expressed itself in females.
** The movie as a whole is a lot more entertaining if we just pretend it ''is'' Carrie.

[[WMG: ''Jason Goes To Hell'' was an in-universe fanfic written by one of the young Crystal Lake campers.]]
Given the huge inconsistencies and additions to Jason's mythology never before established(Body-swapping demon Jason, a bounty hunter tracking him, the "Voorhees can only kill Voorhees" rule), it reads like someone telling a story of their own theories about the monster. By "Jason Lives" Jason was an established campfire UrbanLegend with little known about him other than he's a boy who became a murderous undead creature. Given the room to fill in details, some of the kids at camp in that film took interest, especially when Jason himself showed up, and crafted a bizarre tale of the killer, even throwing in a cameo from [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet another mythical monster said to invade people's dreams.]]

[[WMG: The reboot film is in the same continuity as the [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries live-action Transformers films]].]]
Trent appears in both films. ''Friday the 13th'' was produced by Michael Bay. There isn't much to elaborate on.
* Which implies that a ''Freddy vs. Jason vs. Optimus Prime'' crossover might occur, the prospect of which will make any child of the Eighties squee uncontrollably.

[[WMG: The sewer worker killed by Jason at the end of part VIII was [[Series/TheHoneymooners Ed Norton]].]]
After all, it takes place in New York City, and Norton is much older because over 30 years passed since the series.

[[WMG: The ''Friday the 13th'' remake, the ''Nightmare on Elm Street'' remake, and the Rob Zombie ''Halloween'' remakes take place in the same continuity.]]
* Because why not?
** And so does [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2003 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake]].

[[WMG: The remake isn't a remake at all, but another sequel.]]
Any previously established continuity that it contradicts can be easily explained away:
* Jason being alive instead of an undead Zombie-thing can be explained by it being set somewhere in between part 1 and part 2 (whilst parts 2-4 take place within a couple of days, it is established that quite a bit of time passes between one and two,
* Him getting the Hockey mask from Barn-Guy instead of from Nebby the prankster (as seen in part 3) can be explained by him having a preference to that kind of hockey mask, and as for him not having the mask in Part 2, in his line of work, he probably loses masks a lot.

[[WMG: ''Freddy vs Jason'' actually takes place *before* ''Jason Goes to Hell'']]
Everyone seems to assume, mainly due to the ending of part 9 and some lines in the Vs movie, that Freddy VS Jason must take place after Jason Goes to Hell. But it actually kind of makes more sense to assume it comes before. For one thing, Steve in Part 9 mentions that the cabins at camp crystal lake were torn down two years prior, yet in Freddy vs Jason we see the whole camp still intact (was it torn down because of the huge explosion that devistated it in VS?) Assuming that Part 9 takes place after VS could also explain how Jason was revived after part 8 (Freddy ressurected him) and how he got from New York back to Crystal Lake (Freddy brought him to Springwood, and then the kids took him the rest of the way back). It might also explain how Jason suddenly developed body jumping abilities, the supernatural ressurection by Freddy ended up giving him some unexpected new powers.
* It would be a little better to suggest the not-deadite hopped into him out of hell during the ressurection unknown to both Freddy and Jason. When Jason got blown to bits it was able to take over.

[[WMG: Jason killed Brenda in part 1]]
She was lured out with a child-voice calling for help. Also, when Pamela looked at her body, when she asked 'what monster did this,' she wasn't lying to catch Alice off guard. She was genuinely curious because she didn't kill her. Either Pamela's a good vocal imitator, or Jason has been doing some kills without his mother knowing.

[[WMG: The opening of ''Jason X'' is set inside the S.C.P]]
After failing to execute Jason numerous times, he was picked up by the S.C.P foundation. No-one found him for years because the foundation chose to cut their losses after the breakout and seal off that part of the facility.

[[WMG: The sequel to the reboot will begin with a five-year time skip.]]
Just like what happened in the first sequel to the original.

[[WMG: In ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan Jason Takes Manhattan]]'' Jason is aware he's in a bad movie]]
Throughout the movie you can see Jason's mounting frustration with how bizarre everything is. He woke up and found himself trapped in a parody and spends the entire movie hunting down the protagonists just to make it end.

[[WMG: Jason took mercy on Tina]]
In Part VII Jason knew Tina was responsible for reviving him, and as a small bit of gratitude he didn't kill her right away. He jammed the metal spike in her cabin doorway as a warning that she needed to leave his territory. This is why he goes out killing nearby campers in the woods first.

[[WMG: Jason's TheresNoKillLikeOverkill moment on Paula in Part VI was because she resembled Alice Hardy]]
If you squint a bit, Paula sort of looks like a dark-haired version of Alice. Seeing his mother's murderer seemingly alive and well and at his home despite him [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat stabbing her in the head with an ice pick]] pressed Jason's BerserkButton enough to ''really'' brutalize "Alice" enough to make sure she couldn't come back again.

[[WMG: The sequel to the reboot will be an ActionizedSequel.]]

The book of the dead appears in part 9 at the Vorhees house, implying that it may have something to do with Jason's seeming immortality and resurrections, possibly back to the beginning of the series. So perhaps the bad dreams and visions Tommy experiences in part 5, which ultimately drive him to go and dig up Jason in order to get "closure" were actually visions sent by the Necronomicon, trying to nudge Tommy into either taking up Jason's mantle as a new killer or dig up Jason so he could return again.

[[WMG:When Tommy stabbed Jason with a fencepost in Part VII (ultimately leading to his resurrection), he was being compelled by the same hypnotic force that made the coroner eat Jason's heart in Part IX]]

Jason Takes Manhattan [[https://cats-scream.tumblr.com/post/637704671157501953/me-at-a-party-like-they-dont-know-that-911 was set in 2002]] and opened with a shot of the twin towers intact. Jason's existence in this universe(or possibly Freddy Krueger's) prevented 9/11.

The solution? Ignore all the films after ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'' and make a direct sequel to that film. Part VI ends with Jason having been resurrected and still alive but chained up at the bottom of Crystal Lake, which means that the film wouldn't need to explain where Jason's been for the last 30 years or have to come up with a convoluted explanation for how he's still alive again. Inevitably, Jason will be freed from his watery imprisonment and go on yet another killing spree, forcing Tommy to face off with him one last time.
