Biography[]
Jim and his girlfriend Suzy were high school students celebrating their graduation by having sex on Jim's parents' boat. As the boat drifted into Crystal Lake, Jim weighed anchor and decided to scare Suzy with the story of Jason Voorhees and his numerous murders. Ironically, Jim would be responsible for Jason's latest resurrection as the boat's anchor would get caught on an electrical cable running through the bed of the lake. The anchor tore through the cable and the resulting electrical current reanimated Jason who was buried under a pile of debris nearby.
Death[]
The newly revived Jason climbed aboard Jim's boat, claiming a hockey mask that Jim had used to scare Suzy earlier as well as a harpoon. As Jim and Suzy were having sex, Jason lurked towards them. Suzy saw Jason coming and alerted Jim. As Suzy scrambled out the window to escape, Jim remained stunned and horrified as Jason impaled him with the harpoon and pulled his guts out.
