Crystal Lake Township

 is a rural community located in Wessex County in southern New Jersey. It is most famously known as the site of the Camp Crystal Lake campground (the actual lake itself is also named Crystal Lake). Camp Crystal Lake has earned itself a dark reputation as the hunting grounds of two notorious serial killers, Pamela Voorhees and her son Jason Voorhees.

Points of Interest

 * 24 7 Diner: The 24 7 Diner was located on one of the few highways leading towards Camp Crystal Lake. Presumably, the diner is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Stoner camp counselors Jerry and Nate stopped at the diner looking for a ride to the campground. While there, they encountered a seemingly crazed teen who implied that they would soon die. As it turned out, the boy's prediction proved correct.


 * Blairstown Diner: The Blairstown Diner is located twelve miles outside of Camp Crystal Lake. This was where Steve Christy stopped for a meal on his way back to Camp Crystal Lake after picking up supplies. Waitress Sandra teased Steve by saying that he owed her a night on the town. She also gave him a discount on his meal. Note: Though not intentionally referred to as the Blairstown Diner, a menu can be seen on the counter top indicating the name of the establishment.


 * Camp Crystal Lake: Also known as "Camp Blood", Camp Crystal Lake is the territorial hunting ground for psychopath Jason Voorhees. In 1957, Jason Voorhees ventured into Crystal Lake unattended and drowned. Whether or not Jason actually "died" in the drowning incident is unclear. A year after the incident, his mother Pamela Voorhees began murdering camp counselors, blaming them for the death of her son. For reasons unknown, Jason survived and grew up to continue his mother's bloody legacy, stalking the forests around the campground, killing anyone who encroached upon his territory.


 * Crystal Lake: Crystal Lake is located in the center of the Camp Crystal Lake campground. This was the sight of the 1957 drowning of Jason Voorhees. The lake appears to be haunted by the spirits of dozens of people who have met an untimely death over the years, giving rise to the theory that the campground suffers from a "death curse".


 * Cunningham Road: This was just one of several roadways that passed through Crystal Lake. It was named for franchise producer Sean S. Cunningham.


 * Frank's Delicatessen: Hitchhiker Annie passed by Frank's delicatessen on her way towards Camp Crystal Lake.


 * Joey B's Diner: Joey B and her husband and son operated a diner just outside Crystal Lake. Diana Kimble, half-sister to Jason Voorhees, worked there as a waitress.


 * Myers' place: Home of the Myers family. No information is known about this family, but the possibility exists that they might be connected to the Myers' family of Haddonfield, Illinois.


 * Voorhees residence: The Voorhees house was purchased by Pamela Voorhees in 1947. Long after Pamela's death, someone continued to maintain upkeep on the home and even kept the power and utilities running. Near the turn of the century, Jason Voorhees, possessing the body of a Youngstown, Ohio coroner, abducted a Cunningham County deputy named Josh and brought him to the house where he transferred his essence from one body to the next. This was also where Jason was "reborn" through the body of his half-sister Diana Kimble. He fought against Kimble's daughter Jessica who succeeded in sending Jason's soul to Hell via a mystic dagger.
