Then Over To Something/Someone Even More Scary:

Friday the 13th 2009 Jason Mask Adult

Sh sh sh, ah ah ah. It’s the sound that strikes fear into the hearts of ever camp counselor that ever lived. You’d just better hope you’re not working the summer job at Camp Crystal Lake. Or should I call it Camp Blood? Yeah, we all know the famous story of Jason Voorhees. He was an odd and possibly slightly disfigured child who couldn’t swim. Regardless of WHY he was doggy paddling furiously in the middle of a lake, the camp counselors failed to rescue him because they were too preoccupied with teen lust. Hmm, this sort of tale never ends well. Anyone who knows the formula of horror flicks can tell you that. Needless to say Jason has become an icon on Halloween night. Random jason masks can be spotted around every corner. High school boys especially go crazy for these things. Will the madness ever end?

I believe the twisted idea and famous boogey man has resulted in 11 films at this point. If you’ve yet to see them all, then you’d better get busy. No human being can ever get his/her fill of blood, carnage, suspense and jason masks. It’s simply an ongoing cycle. My favorite has to be the second one. Now I do realize that most horror flick buffs will frown at this selection, but I prefer Jason to actually be in the film. Mrs. Voorhees didn’t do it for me in the original “Friday the 13th.” However, when Jason appeared in the second one, dressed like a farm hick and sporting a white sack over his head, it ruled. Then with the third installment came the famous jason masks. If you haven’t already noticed, this guise is merely a hockey mask. Apparently Jason wants everyone to know he’s a big NHL fan. He may not ever speak, but the mask says volumes about his dedication to the sport.

Okay, enough goofy banter about horror flicks and jason masks. By now you should be ordering yours online. Virtually any Halloween costume store on the planet carries these. Movie horror masks and costumes are often the cream of the crop on October 31st. We all love to dress up as our favorite movie madman or super hero. Get your jason masks and Halloween costumes ahead of time this year.
