friday the 13th (franchise)
principal photography took place from october 3 and finished in november 1980, and primarily occurred in new preston and kent, connecticut. special effects artist tom savini was asked to work on the film but declined because he was already working on another project, "midnight" (1982), in addition he didn't receive well to the concept of jason as the killer in the film. savini was then replaced by stan winston. winston, however, had a scheduling conflict and had to drop out of the project. the make-up effects were ultimately handled by carl fullerton. fullerton designed the "look" for the adult jason voorhees and went with long red hair and a beard while following the facial deformities established in the original film in the make-up designed by tom savini for jason as a child. fullerton's look for the adult jason was abandoned in the sequel, "friday the 13th part 3", despite the fact that the film took place the following day and was helmed by the same director, steve miner. some fans have theorized that the sequence where we see jason with a beard and long hair reflects a "dream" rather than a reality because the following sequel picks up with the events showing his face having not happened, and therefore what was represented was ginny's "guess" at what he looked like under the burlap sack rather than what he "actually" looked like, which would excuse the lack of continuity.
