Page "Jason Voorhees" Paragraph 12

For the 2009 version of Friday the 13th, effects artist Scott Stoddard took inspiration from Carl Fullerton's design in Friday the 13th Part 2 and Tom Savini's work in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.

Stoddard wanted to make sure that Jason appeared human and not like a monster.

Stoddard's vision of Jason includes hair loss, skin rashes, and the traditional deformities in his face, but he attempted to craft Jason's look in a way that would allow for a more human side to be seen.

Stoddard took inspiration from the third and fourth films when designing Jason's hockey mask.

The make-up artist managed to acquire an original set piece, which he studied and later sculpted.

Although he had a model of one of the original masks, Stoddard did not want to replicate it in its entirety.

As Stoddard explains, " Because I didn't want to take something that already existed, there were things I thought were great, but there were things I wanted to change a bit.

Make it custom, but keep all the fundamental designs.

Especially the markings on the forehead and cheeks.

Age them down a bit, break them up.

" In the end, Stoddard crafted six versions of the mask, each with varying degrees of wear.
