TRIVIA ANSWER

The answer is B) Pamela Voorhees

Explanation: Contrary to popular belief, Jason Voorhees is not the killer in the original “Friday the 13th” film. The murderer is Pamela Voorhees, Jason’s mother, portrayed by Betsy Palmer. Driven by grief and vengeance over the drowning death of her son Jason—an incident she attributes to the negligence of the camp counselors—Pamela embarks on a killing spree at Camp Crystal Lake. This twist is particularly surprising to audiences familiar with the series, as Jason becomes the central antagonist in the subsequent sequels.

That’s a wrap!
