Sex, Drugs and a death curse on "Camp Blood"

When it comes to the monsterous feminine and amoral mother figures in film, I think a great example is Pamela Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series.

*Spoiler Alert!*

In the series Pamela Voorhees is the mother of Jason Voorhees the main anatagonist of the series, however in the first film it is infact Pamela herself who is the killer. In the first film, a group of camp counselers attempt to reopen Camp Crystal Lake, which was closed years before, after a boy drowned. As they try to do so they are each killed off by an unknown attacker. Eventually it is revealed that Pamela Voorhees, the mother of the boy who drowned, Jason, is the killer. After she reveals herself as the killer, she dumps a load of exposition on the audience, as all villians do, in which she explains her motives, about how the camp should never have been reopened and that it's the counselers fault he died for not watching him ect ect.

Pamela Voorhees, on first appearance seems warm, sweet and motherly, but it soon turns out that there is more to her than a sweet, loving mother. In her eyes it is the counselers that are the murders, they killed her son and by killing them she is protecting her son.

I also have been considering the notion that in all the victims, as in most slasher films, engage in sex, alcohol, drugs ect, all things the stereotypical mother would tell their teens not to do and the killer is a twisted version of the stereotypical mother or the ultimate mother's boy. This continues throughout the series, a bunch of teens go to Camp Crystal Lake, have sex, do drugs, get drunk ect, all of which are as good as a death sentence in a friday the 13th film, and Jason kills them off and the only one to survive is the innocent virgin and possibly her romanitic interest. Almost like a modern, gory grimms fairy tale, warning teens about the dangerous of sex, drugs and alcohol.
