Crystal Lake, New Image Teases Pamela's Horror
When the story begins, Pamela is a mother still devastated by the death of her son
Pamela Voorhees' past is about to resurface, long before Friday the 13th turned Crystal Lake into one of horror's most infamous locations. A new image from the prequel series Crystal Lake shows the protagonist played by Linda Cardellini, offering a further glimpse into the descent into darkness that will forever change her life.
The series will debut with all 8 episodes on October 15th on Peacock and will tell the events preceding Jason's tragedy.
Before Jason, There Was Pamela
When the story begins, Pamela is a mother still devastated by the death of her son. Fragile and ill, Jason drowned in the lake almost a year prior, and the grief continues to affect every aspect of her existence. The arrival of two strangers intent on digging into her past will, however, unearth a series of unsettling secrets.
Brad Caleb Kane, the series' showrunner, has anticipated that Crystal Lake will not immediately follow the classic slasher structure. The first episodes will have a psychological thriller and conspiracy component, before leading Pamela towards a transformation decidedly closer to the spirit of Friday the 13th.
Callum Vinson will play young Jason. The cast also includes William Catlett, Cameron Scoggins, Devin Kessler, and Christopher Denham. The episodes are directed by Michael Lennox, Celine Held, Logan George, and Quyen Tran.
