        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jason Voorhees is still alive &#8212; at least in Stephen&nbsp;King&#8217;s mind.</p><p>The author recently said he&#8217;s mulled writing a novel from the perspective of Voorhees, the seemingly immortal slasher character from the &#8220;Friday the 13th&#8221; horror film franchise.</p><p>&#8220;The best novel idea I never wrote (and probably never will) is I JASON,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/1272320631145664514" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">King tweeted Sunday</a>.</p><p>The &#8220;first-person narrative&#8221; would follow Voohees&#8217; &#8220;hellish fate&#8221; of having to be killed at Camp Crystal Lake over and over again, only to be resurrected each time, King wrote.</p><p>The character was born in 1980, with director Sean S. Cunningham’s original “Friday the 13th” movie.</p><p>It was followed by 11 sequels, most recently a 2009 remake by the same name, starring Jared Padalecki and Derek Mears as Voohees.</p><p>That flick included part of Voohees&#8217; origin story, but the 72-year-old novelist&#8217;s idea would be told exclusively from the iconic villain&#8217;s perspective.</p><p>Horror fans shouldn&#8217;t cheer just yet.</p><p>King followed up that &#8220;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&#8217;t someone tell Jason&#8217;s side of the story?&#8221;</p><p>Still, the writer added that &#8220;Blumhouse could do it as a movie,&#8221; referring to the production company behind horror films like &#8220;Paranormal Activity,&#8221; &#8220;The Purge&#8221; and &#8220;Halloween.&#8221;</p><p>The pitch has already gained some online support, with comedian Patton Oswalt <a href="https://twitter.com/pattonoswalt/status/1272323727141662720" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeting</a>: &#8220;I want this novel RIGHT NOW.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
