Marilyn Poucher played the ghost of Mrs. Voorhees. By the way, since Higgins did not seem to know who Jason or his mother were, I would posit that that was the ghost of Mrs. Voorhees, not just a dream.

[edit] Sadly, not certaint that Barry and Claudette were

Since the scene in Freddy vs. Jason is part of a dreamscape created by Krueger, it may not exactly resemble the true event. Also, I seriously doubt that if Barry and Claudette had been the negligent counselors in 1957 they would have been around in 1958 at the camp again.

michael:i want to backup the claim about the scene in freddy v. jason since "new line cinema"pepole now owns the rights it will come no suprise that they would decide to change certain details of previous events consider this as retconning

[edit] Source?

I recently added a citation need for Pam's history. The section includes things that are clearly not in the films. Some of this maybe the product of novelisations, spin-off material, or a more (or less) official source like one of the books written about the series (unfortunately I don't own any of those) where there can be a citation easily given either squeezed in the material or as a footnote. I fear, however, that some of this is speculation. If it is widely speculated among fans, it needs to be mentioned; if not then it can be considered original research, and thus needs to be removed. Like the schizophrenia - where in the Hell does that come from? And some of the references seem to jumping to conclusions. As mentioned, that was in the dreamscape, and may be either exagerrated from Jason's perspective, or manipulated by Freddy.--Bacteria 21:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from Bacteria! But, it's just fine as it is. I'm a fan of the F13 series. The part about her schizophrenia is speculation! It is needed to explain her actions in the first film, as any normal mother would get over it or sue the camp than to just go kill them! Plus, if you notice the part where at the end Mrs. Voorhees is normal, then crazy. How else do you explain that than schizophrenia? Split-personality maybe, but schizophrenia seems more "professional"...
