History

Once again portrayed by Kane Hodder, this installment follows Jason as he tracks a new group of victims from Crystal Lake, aboard the S.S. Lazarus, to the bright lights of Manhattan. While only a tiny portion was actually filmed in Manhattan, that didn't stop Paramount from heavily promoting the NY angle. Jason even made a surprise visit on the Arsenio Hall Show. We also saw future star Kelly Hu make her film Debut.

Appearance

Part 8 Jason wears a ripped up but with black tight button shirt with a tanned hockey mask that he stole from one of the first victims, which the mask is more yellowish in color and he has on black boots and pants and he has greyish decaying skin while his clothes are moist throughout his appearance with goo.

Unmasked: After being splashed with Toxic waste Jason's face was badly burnt revealing his missing eye, no teeth, and on the top lip revealing decaying skin and fully seen his skin color was more grey and pale than the previous Part 7 time period.
