In an epic horror franchise comic book crossover, the father of Jason Voorhees managed to make his Friday the 13th debut without anyone noticing. One longstanding question on every Friday the 13th fan's mind has been this: what happened to Jason's father? Jason's mother, Pamela, has a domineering presence throughout the franchise, even after she dies, yet his father barely gets mentioned.

Why Fans Haven't Encountered Jason's Father In Any Friday the 13th Movies Elias Nearly Appeared On Screen Several Times Jason's father has become something of a legend in the space of the Friday the 13th franchise; not in a glorified sense, but a legend as in there's doubt if the man ever existed at this point. It is extremely rare for the man to be mentioned at all in the franchise, particularly the movies. Granted, that wasn't always by design.
✕ Remove Ads It's worth noting that Mr. Voorhees was meant to make an official onscreen debut in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. He was originally written into the movie, but his scenes never made the final production, and thus were never filmed . Jason Lives would've depicted Elias in a more sympathetic role, paying Martin the Caretaker to care after his wife and son's grave, only to be horrified to learn the latter is missing from his.
In Pamela's Tale, Elias is an abusive miner who would regularly batter and assault Pamela Voorhees. His violent nature is depicted as so brutal that she is too afraid to even tell Elias she was pregnant, out of fear for what he would do to her and their baby. Under the impression that young Jason is talking to her in her stomach, urging her to kill, she takes an ax to Elias' head while he is sleeping.
