JASON'S OCTOBER FRIDAY

In Crystal Lake, a cursed abode,

Jason roams, his thirst for blood unbound,

A mask conceals the face once known.

A vengeful soul, a tale foretold,

His victims fall, their screams resound,

In Crystal Lake, a cursed abode.

From murky depths, his wrath bestowed,

A mother's grief, a death profound,

A mask conceals the face once known.

Each Friday thirteenth, fear corrodes,

A campground's echoes, death surrounds,

In Crystal Lake, a cursed abode.

Undying, he becomes folklore's code,

Camp counselors, in terror, drown,

A mask conceals the face once known.

The lake's dark secrets he has sowed,

A revenant with vengeance crowned,

In Crystal Lake, a cursed abode,

A mask conceals the face once known.
