As the opening credits come onto the screen, various clips of the past eight Friday the 13th films come onto the screen and a man's voice narrarates.

NARRATOR
Back in the summer of 1957, a young boy named Jason Voorhees supposedly drowned at Camp Crystal Lake.  The camp consulors were not watching the boy.  They were having sex in a new by cabin.  The following summer, both teens were found brutally murdered at the camp.  Camp Crystal Lake was shut down and became the place of urban legend for more than twenty years.  Then it was reopened and the terror started again.  Six young consulors and the camp director were one by one slaughtered, until only one young consulor was left to fight off the Camp Crystal Lake killer who was revealed to be Mrs. Pamela Voorhees, the mother of Jason Voorhees.  A final duel between the two ended with Mrs. Voorhees being decapitated.  The terror at Camp Crystal Lake was over.  Until two months later, when the sole surviving consulor was reported missing.  It was believed that Jason came back from the dead to avenge his mother's death and now haunted woods of Crystal Lake.  Since then Jason was been responsible for at least hundred deaths, mostly teenagers out in the woods of Crystal Lake.  Then he disappeared for nine years, only to return to kill again.

News footage of May 14, 2005 plays on the screen, showing Tommy being held back by police officers and Jessica sitting the back of  a police car.  Tommy is yelling, "It was Jason.  He came back!  You've got to bury his body, before he wakes up."

NARRATOR (continues)
After several dead bodies were found, police stumbled on Tommy Jarvis and a young teenaged girl, standing in front of a burning corpse, said to be Jason Voorhees.  Jarvis screamed for the corpse to be buried, otherwise Jason would come back and kill again.  Though it was believed that Jarvis was the killer, the supposed corpse of Jason Voorhees was buried in Lake Wood Cemetary.  Jarvis was later put in a sanitarium and the young girl disappeared shortly after.
