Pamela Voorhees Pamela Voorhees Pamela Voorhees is a character from the "Friday the 13th" film series. She first appeared in Sean S. Cunningham's original film as the vengeful mother of Jason Voorhees, simply known as Mrs. Voorhees. The character was created by Victor Miller, and was portrayed by Betsy Palmer in the original film as well as briefly in "Friday the 13th Part 2" (1981). She was portrayed by Paula Shaw in "Freddy vs. Jason" (2003). According to Palmer, she was asked to reprise her role as Pamela Voorhees for "Freddy vs. Jason" but she turned the part down after she read
Jason Voorhees "The New Blood". Since Jason had been submerged under water in the previous entry, the effects team wanted Jason to appear "rotted", with bones and ribs showing, and for Jason's features to have a more defined feel to them. Howard Berger was inspired by Carl Fullerton's design in "The New Blood", and wanted to incorporate the exposed flesh concept into his model for "Jason Goes to Hell". Berger designed Jason's skin to overlap with the mask, to make it appear as if the skin and mask had fused and the mask could no longer be removed. Gregory Nicotero and Berger
