Shock Til You Drop has scored the first look at Jason Voorhees in his classic sack look from the rebootmake of Friday the 13th. It looks pretty sweet. Click here to get a big, close, good look at the picture.
If you’re not a F13 fan, you might not realize that Jason didn’t get his iconic hockey mask until the third installment (he’s not even alive in the first one, for that matter).
