Crystal Lake brings Friday the 13th back by putting Jason's mother in charge
For decades, Jason Voorhees has been the unmistakable face of Friday the 13th. The hockey mask, the machete and the isolated summer camp became so deeply associated with the franchise that its original killer was often reduced to a historical footnote. Crystal Lake reverses that arrangement. Peacock and A24's new horror series puts Pamela Voorhees at the center, giving Linda Cardellini eight episodes to explore a character whose importance to the mythology has rarely been matched by her screen time.
