8 Times Horror Icons Appeared In Video Games
6. Jason Voorhees - Dead Island
When one thinks of the archetypal horror slasher, chances are they're going to think of Jason Voorhees. The man with a penchant for plunging his machete into people has been on the scene since 1980 and has racked up an incredible amount of bodies in his time.
While the lore around him has been, let's just say inconsistent at best, there's a few things that have remained steadfast; he will always catch you despite moving as slow as molasses and is built like a brick privvy. However even Jason has tasted defeat in his time, even being burned to a crisp from falling from space...yeah Jason X is weird, so of course the man is going to need a bit of R and R sometimes.
Which likely explains why we can find him in Dead Island on the tropical island of Banoi trying to catch a tan and also murder the heck out of anything he comes across including you. Hitting with SEVEN TIMES the damange of a regular enemy, Jason can likely one hit kill even a high level player, and much like his movie counterpart does not go down easily.
If you can best this beast of a man you get access to his Machete and also a Chainsaw from his shack....now I wonder who that might belong to?
