10 Awesome Video Game Villains You Never See
6. Pamela Voorhees - Friday The 13th
Pamela Voorhees will always have a special place in the history of horror for being the offscreen baddie terrorising Camp Crystal Lake during the original Friday the 13th movie.
Betsy Palmer's iconic portrayal of this deranged mother has become one of the most celebrated performances of the slasher sub-genre, but the character has continued to live on even after decapitation at the end of the movie.
Her son, the hockey mask-wearing Jason, has often been portrayed as a confused young boy in a hulking giant's body, being told to kill 'for mummy' in retaliation for her death at the hands of Alice Hardy.
It is this famous trope that those who take the reins of Jason in Gun Media's Friday the 13th game. Voiced by Jennifer Ann Burton, Pamela will speak to Jason as he rampages across Crystal Lake taking down counsellor players, showcasing just how much control she has over her son, albeit from beyond the grave.
And whilst Pamela is never seen alive in the game, counsellors can piece together more of her appearance through a series of unlockable tapes, her decapitated head and by picking up her sweater located in the shack in a callback to Friday the 13th Part II.
