Okay, that's a new one. Never thought of it in that manner before, but I'll count it.

Jason drowns in the lake but is pulled ashore by his mother and somehow resuscitated. Sadly, due to oxygen starvation to his brain, he is extraordinarily damaged as a person. Mrs Voorhees grieves as if he is dead (because essentially personality wise he is). Because she is a nutcase and he is too damaged and unpredictable to have about the house (and he keeps eating her cats) she keeps the living hulk, a shell of his former self, in a shack in the woods where he grows very tall from eating squirrels. His only friend was the old dude on the bike, who brought him old skin mags from time to time. His appearance over the following films depends upon his variable fashion sense and the styles of the time. I think this is the official according to Tom Savini answer to this question. |

One problem with the first part.
Jason was already messed up, he was born messed up.

Yeah, but then you're putting too much thought into it, and who wants to do that much work?

One problem with the first part. Jason was already messed up, he was born messed up. He was physically deformed and very odd, but not necessarily mentally impaired, and certainly not to the degree that he becomes as an adult. |

People in such a conditions are usually mentally disturbed as a result

You're suggesting that someone with a physical disability, deformity or indeed a learning impairment is 'usually' mentally disturbed?
If you are then not only are you wrong, but your assertion is also narrow minded, stigmatising and actually rather offensive.

I have to agree with GP. I'm as ugly and deformed as Jason but am not mentally impaired.  The two do not necessarily go hand in hand. As for Jason himself, he may have been mentally impaired from the start but it was not because of his physical characteristics. |

Okay, Ill go with that phrasing then, either way its always been pretty much accepted that Jason wasnt all there in the head.

Now that I think about it, I guess there are some exceptions to what I said. For example, Microcephaly is a physical deformity that also causes abnormal growth of the brain.

I think its pretty safe to say that most people with Jason's condition are also mentally unstable, more often then not. People with good brains dont keep their mothers severed head in their shack, or are unable to tell real life from fantasy. Thinking Ginny was his mother, and all of that.

The only thing wrong with Jason is that ... well he wasn't a very good swimmer ...  |

That implies that we know Jason's exact condition. Do we? And the examples you just gave are all post "drowning". |

I voted He made it to shore and went into the forest.
Just makes more sense to me.
Considering the shack we see in part 2.
