Master of horror, Stephen King, recently shared on Twitter that he has had an idea for a horror novel based on the iconic slasher-killer Jason Voorhees from the Friday The 13th film franchise. The thought of King writing a Jason Voorhees story is freakin’ exciting!
He says he’d title the novel I Jason, and it would have followed the character and his murderous exploits from the first-person perspective of the killer. The hook for the story revolves around what it would be like to be the killer who is constantly resurrected over and over again to kill people. King explains:
The best novel idea I never wrote (and probably never will) is I JASON, the first-person narrative of Jason Voohees, and his hellish fate: killed over and over again at Camp Crystal Lake. What a hellish, existential fate!

The book will probably never happen due to all the legal hoops he would have to jump through to make it happen. He went on to say:
Just thinking about the legal thicket one would have to go through to get permissions makes my head ache. And my heart, that too. But gosh, shouldn’t someone tell Jason’s side of the story?

Someone should most definitely tell Jason’s side of the story! But, who could that be? King nominates Blumhouse pictures for the job:
Blumhouse could do it as a movie.

Would you like to see King’s idea for a Jason Voorhees story get told in some way? I bet King could get permission to do it if his reps went out and started asking around on what it would take and then his book could be adapted into a movie by Blumhouse!
Patton Oswalt also wants in on the action and also jokes about books for other classic horror characters:
[ad_2]Aaaaaaaand… I want this novel RIGHT NOW. Let’s do one of those Ace paperback “doubles.” My half will be either LEATHERFACE: HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUILT or MICHAEL MYERS: BABYSITTERS, CLUBBED https://t.co/iYCSrYzktD
