13 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Jason Voorhees
3. Jason's Part 2 Appearance Was Inspired By A Real Serial Killer
Not quite his best look considering we weren't in hockey mask territory yet, Friday the 13th Part 2 has the burlap sack as Jason's method of choice for hiding his face - but he's not the only one with a penchant for hessian. His look is remarkably similar to the hooded killer of The Town That Dreaded Sundown, with the only differences coming from the amount of eyeholes - Jason has only one - and that the plaid is slightly different between the two killers.
The Town That Dreaded Sundown is a slasher movie iteration of the real life Texarkana Moonlight Murders. They were committed by a serial killer dubbed 'The Phantom Slayer', who was described as wearing a pillowcase with eye holes cut out that hid his face, ultimately resulting in his true identity never being officially confirmed.
Whilst the filmmakers swear up and down they didn't steal the idea for Jason's Part 2 outfit, the similarities are eerily similar.
