The name Jason Voorhees is a byword for slasher horror. This machete-wielding marauder just won’t stay down, no matter what you hit him with – and our dedicated Friday the 13th magazine guide, Jason, explores the reasons why we can’t stay away from Crystal Lake.

From the beginnings of this classic movie series, through its many twists and turns, to the 2003 crossover mash-up finale, Jason is the perfect way to rediscover a franchise you thought you knew. A range of absorbing articles looks at each Friday the 13th movie in turn, with great stills, facts and trivia giving you a deeper insight into this pioneering series. We look at Jason’s different incarnations over the years, and check out the many teens who have fallen foul of Mr Voorhees. You may meet some familiar faces!
