the decision to dress jason voorhees in his now-signature hockey mask occurred during a lighting check on set; the film's 3-d effects supervisor martin sadoff was a hockey fan, and supplied a detroit red wings goaltender mask to miner. miner loved the mask, but during test shots found it was too small. using a technique called vacuform, makeup effects director doug white enlarged the mask and created a new mold to work with. after white finished the molds, art director terry ballard placed new red triangles on the mask to give it a unique appearance. holes were also punched into the mask, and the markings were altered, making it different from sadoff's original template. there were two prosthetic face masks created for richard brooker to wear underneath the hockey mask. one mask was composed of approximately 11 different appliances, and took about six hours to apply to brooker's face; this mask was used for scenes where the hockey mask was removed. in the scenes where the hockey mask is over the face, a simple head mask was created. this one piece mask would simply slip on over brooker's head, exposing his face but not the rest of his head.
