Editing Friday the 13th (1980 film) (section)

===Novelization===
In 1987, seven years after the release of the motion picture, Simon Hawke produced a novelization of ''Friday the 13th''. One of the few additions to the book was [[Pamela Voorhees|Mrs. Voorhees]] begging the Christy family to take her back after the loss of her son; they agreed.{{sfn|Hawke|1987|pp=164–168}} Another addition in the novel is more understanding in Mrs. Voorhees' actions. Hawke felt the character had attempted to move on when Jason died, but her psychosis got the best of her. When Steve Christy reopened the camp, Mrs. Voorhees saw it as a chance that what happened to her son could happen again. Her murders were against the counselors, because she saw them all as responsible for Jason's death.{{sfn|Grove|2005|p=50}}
