In the first Friday the 13th movie, the killer is Jason Voorhees. He is also the killer in parts 2-4 and 6-10. In Part V, however, it is his mother, Mrs. Voorhees, who is the killer.

In the original Friday the 13th movie, the killer is a mysterious figure dressed in a black cloak and hockey mask. The character was never given a name and remains one of the few unrevealed killers in the franchise. The mask was actually based off of Jason Voight, who plays Rob Zombie's companion in both movies. The character is often referred to as "the shape" or "killer". It’s later revealed that he is an escaped mental patient named Edward Longstreeth, but this storyline was abandoned for subsequent films.

The series primarily follows Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street and James Dean from Halloween respectively.
