‘If we don’t kill them, Jason, they’ll keep hurting more people like us. Gently explaining to him why these wicked people need to die. Voorhees embraces her son with a genuine mother’s warmth. There’s also a deeply disturbing and creepy aspect seeing the child Jason watching, maybe learning from his mothers’ savage murders.
Serial killers like Aileen Wuornos (Charlize Theron in ‘Monster’) are more emotionally horrifying being connected a belief or honest rationalization. As extreme as her murders are they are passion kills. Every event and character are believable. I wanted to approach this as if this was a true story. It’s particularly even more unsettling as we hear her psychopathic and sociopathic thoughts and plans. McLoughlin explains, “Pamela’s diary allows us deeper insight into how she feels.
Both the film and limited series conclude with their arrival at Camp Crystal Lake May 19th, 1956. They then move on, Pamela fantasizing on finding some place that’s truly theirs. Her psychopathic mind turns darker, then vengeful as she brutally kills any detractor of her son. Over the next ten years we see the painful life this shunned single mother must survive to raise and protect her Jason who most of all these people treat as a freak. On the night of June 13th, 1946, an abused 16-year-old Pamela gives birth to a facially disfigured, mentally challenged, boy she names Jason. People are uncertain, afraid of the unknown, and untrusting. The story takes place in Post-World War 2 Middle America. Here’s the idea for Diary of Pamela Voorhees, straight from Tom McLoughlin…ĭiary of Pamela Voorhees is of course based on Victor Miller’s characters of Pamela Voorhees, and her young son Jason. In fact, we created so many characters and storylines we realized we had a Limited Series as well as a feature length movie.” The objective was also to reveal how they became the iconic horror legends they are. “When James mentioned wanting to do a story that starts with the birth of Jason, my head exploded with so many episodes and character events we can create,” he continues. And who knows, maybe whoever finally gets the shared rights might only want to make a hockey masked Jason.” And YES, we are heartbreakingly aware that our script, as reported yesterday by CNN, has currently no chance of getting made due to the rights settlement far from resolved. If there’s a day to announce, can’t think of any better. McLoughlin tells BD, “Keeping this under wraps for almost a year now, the fan side of us thought it’s the ONLY Friday the 13th this year. McLoughlin worked alongside James Sweet on the concept, a screenplay for a theatrical feature/limited series that he’d love to someday get the chance to bring to life. Of course, the franchise is shackled at the bottom of a lake due to legal issues at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped McLoughlin from writing scripts.Īs you may recall, McLoughlin chatted with us back in 2020 about his concept for Jason Never Dies, a screenplay for a direct sequel to Jason Lives that he recently put together.īloody Disgusting can exclusively reveal that Tom McLoughlin has also come up with an entirely different screenplay for a Friday project, this one titled Diary of Pamela Voorhees.

As the unrelenting battle unfolds, so strong is his purpose and so ferocious his resistance that the Universe itself will tremble.Ĭontra Film and Unearthed Films are producing.

Whereout is a supernatural bare-knuckle oater about a man determined to face mighty powers to protect the woman he loves.
