13 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Jason Voorhees
8. Actor Amy Steel Was Terrified Of Jason
In Friday the 13th Part 2, Amy Steel plays Ginny, who faces off against Jason at the climax of the move by pretending to be his mother. And whilst this acting job within an acting job makes a whole Inception case for Ginny's appearance in the film, there's plenty of times where there was no acting necessary. Steel was genuinely scared on the Friday the 13th set thanks to Jason's intense kills that rendered her fellow actors decked out in prosthetics that made her "uncomfortable."
The crux of this comes when Jason leaps through a window to get at Ginny, which Steel has spoken about since:
"I knew this guy was going to bash through plexiglass on a swing and grab me. I was thinking this is the worst moment of my life... I think we did it at least three times. When the director came back a week later and told me we had to do it again, I was so upset."
Looks like Jason's terror works both on and off screen then!
