Name: Pamela Voorhees. Retired camp cook.Location: Camp Crystal Lake, New Jersey.
Modus Operandi: Deranged grieving mother who, at first seems like a caring person, but, in actuality blames the world for the death of her only son, Jason. Handy with a bow and arrow, axe, spears, knives, can throw a punch better than Muhammad Ali. Seemingly as strong as an ox. Possibly schizophrenic. Definitely psychotic. More than likely a victim of Jocasta complex. Fond of cable knit sweaters. Will sometimes speak in her dead son's voice, "Kill 'er mommy! Kill 'er!!!" Possible member of the moral majority.
Camp Factor: Mrs. Voorhees is a force of feminist nature; built like a linebacker while busily chewing up the scenery like a drunken drag queen doing Judy Garland at Wigstock. Done in by one of the best beheadings ever seen on the silver screen!
Played By: 50's B. Movie Queen and T.V. celebrity, Betsy Palmer.

When I first saw this film in the theater, I didn't know who the killer would turn out to be. When they first showed her face, I burst out laughing and cried, "Oh my god, it's BETSY PALMER!" I got some weird looks. No one else knew who she was. It gets lonely, being a gay horror geek.
She's the greatest mom ever. That's unconditional love right there!
