Background
A year after attacking Pam Roberts, Tommy is released from the Hospital for the Criminally Insane, still haunted by flashbacks of Jason, whom he killed six years earlier. He returns to Crystal Lake, now renamed Forest Green, with his friend Allen Hawes to cremate Jason's body and end his nightmares. Digging up the corpse during a thunderstorm, Tommy impales it with a metal fence post; two lightning bolts strike the post and restore Jason as a revenant with superhuman strength. Jason kills Hawes by punching out his heart, dons the hockey mask Tommy has brought, and Tommy flees to the sheriff's office to warn the police.
