Pamela Voorhees was a vengeful psychotic serial killer mother. her son is known as Jason Voorhees. In 1946, Pamela was a young and pregnant newlywed living in a trailer in Cadiz, Ohio with her abusive husband Elias Voorhees.

Pamela believed that she could actually hear the thoughts of her unborn child instructing her towards committing acts of violence. Whether this was merely an aspect of a deep-rooted psychosis or a result of some supernatural manipulation is unknown.

In September of that year, after suffering another in a long series of beatings perpetuated by her husband, Pamela heeded the voice inside her that told her to "kill".

The fate of Elias is unknown, although the comic miniseries Friday the 13th: Pamela's Tale shows a pregnant Pamela killing Elias. Eventually Pamela arrived in Crystal Lake, where she purchased a home as she felt God had called her there.

She got a job working as a short-fry cook at a local diner. On Friday, June 13, 1946, Pamela met David and Louise Christy. The Christys told her that they were reopening a campground out near the lake and asked her to work for them cooking for seventy-five children over the summer season. Pamela accepted the job and went into labour. Jason was born with severe physical deformities, although Pamela believed her son was perfect.

In June of 1957, Pamela was working at Crystal Lake when she received news about her son. Rushing home, she learned from her nanny Mrs. Cunningham that Jason had been killing and mutilating small kittens.

Instead of admonishing Jason, Pamela cradled him and told him she would always protect him. She also decided that she would have to leave her job in order to keep an eye on Jason. However Dave Christy invited her to bring Jason to live at the campground as an alternative, so that she could always keep an eye on him.

On a fateful day in the year of 1957, Jason had fed-up with the teasing, harassing, bullying, and ridiculing that the children gave him. He sneaked out of his cabin late at night in order to prove that he could swim and waded into the water. The counselors weren't watching him at all, as they were at a party in one of the adult cabins, drinking, smoking dope, and having sex. Jason's body was never recovered from the lake and presumably drowned.

After her son's death, Pamela loses her sanity and went insane over the loss of her first and only son, for which she was fired from her job as a camp chef, began hearing voices telling her to kill. In the year of 1958, a year after Jason's death, Pamela brutally murdered, attacked, ambushed, killed, and slaughtered two counselors in cold blood whom she felt were responsible for her first and only young son's death. Camp Crystal Lake was closed after the murders and was given the nickname "Camp Blood" by local residents. Four years later, when the owner tried to re-open the camp again in the summer of 1962, Pamela returned, poisoned the water, and set several fires.

Pamela avenged her son's death against two camp counselors whom she found having sex inside of a cabin. Pamela believed that these two reflected the sinful nature of all whose actions allowed her son to die.

In 1979, she returned to Camp Crystal Lake and killed several more counselors. She picked up a young camp counselor named Annie in her jeep and told her the story of her life before slaughtering her.
