“Name the killer in Friday the 13th.”

It’s the question that stumped Drew Barrymore’s character in Scream when she incorrectly answered “Jason.”

True fans of the famous slasher franchise know the correct answer to that question is “Pamela Voorhees,” Jason’s mother—the inspiration for the famous musical cue “tch tch tch, ah ah ah,” which soundtrack composer Harry Manfredini explains is actually “ki(ll) ki(ll) ki(ll), ma ma ma,” an echo of Jason’s voice in his mother’s mind.

National Entertainment Collectibles Association has just announced a Friday the 13th inspired toy line focusing on Pamela Voorhees and the young Jason Voorhees who appears in a dream sequence at the film’s conclusion. Both figures will be available in a two-pack at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con.

The Pamela Voorhees figure is a fitting tribute to actress Betsy Palmer who unfortunately passed away earlier this year. Ari Lehman, the child-actor who portrayed the original “Jason,” gave this forward to the release of the figures, as published at Bloody Disgusting:

NECA’s Friday the 13th package is such a fitting tribute to this great American actor, whose powerful characters exuded a confidence that illuminated the screen and electrified the audience. Betsy Palmer will always be remembered for her brilliant portrayal of Friday the 13th‘s original protagonist, Mrs. Pamela Voorhees, and the young Jason Voorhees in the iconic final scene have created such a lasting impression on movie-goers, that they are more like a form of American mythological characters nowadays.

NECA has memorialized these horror classic film figures with its superb craftsmanship and attention-to-detail—from its retro Mego-style treatment to the real fabric clothing- and brings together Pamela Voorhees as played by Betsy Palmer and the unmasked, young Jason once again, in celebration of the film’s 35th anniversary.

The figures themselves are remarkable in their detail.
