Crystal Lake creator says he changed Jason Voorhees' origin because "nothing is consistent" in the "wonky" franchise

As well as exploring Pamela Voorhees ' backstory before she became the killer we met in the first Friday the 13th movie, the new prequel series Crystal Lake changes Jason's origin story. However, creator Brad Caleb Kane says he didn't see an issue in doing this as the horror franchise messes with canon all of the time.

"I mean, the canon itself is pretty inconsistent and pretty wonky, and there was no real origin set in stone," says Kane to GamesRadar+. There were sort of certain things said in the movies, and then in the novelization for part two, they talk about Jason's interiority, and they talk about him crawling out of the lake, and surviving in the woods off of this and that. But when you marry it with the actual time period of the movies, it doesn't quite match up."

The writer-director adds: "So it felt like you could mash it around a little bit. It felt malleable, and it felt like fresh snow that we could play with and have some invention there. Nothing is consistent in the canon anyway, so why not go back and play with it at all?"

Starring Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees, Crystal Lake follows the single mother living in a small town with her young, sickly son Jason. The show allows us to see Pam's descent into madness, but it also offers a deeper dive into the mother-son duo's dark past. In the penultimate episode, we go back to the late '50s in the midst of the Nuclear Arms Race.
