Why does Jason hide bodies?

Why does Jason hide bodies?  Somehow, I don't think he has to worry about the sheriff's department in Crystal Lake.  

Why can't Jason leave the bodies where they fall?

Because it’s funnier when a body pops up out of nowhere to frighten people who don’t know everyone is dead yet.

Shock value can be worthwhile.

Its both a mind game and a clean up for himself as a Serial Killer.

Jason would hide a corpse out of sight and when someone finds it they are in shock and trauma hits in thats a psychological mind game. (Yes like Michael) its to create that Chaos to where the Victims would run away somewhere or likely run into him.

Its also to clean the area as well as keep anyone from prematurely finding the body, which would ruin his killing spree early if the cops show up before he kills others.

I was very much pondering this thread and removed it from the Hell (The Archives) to further add discussion to this post!


I can believe that Jason Voorhees does this just because, or as the same reason as mentioned before by me that it can be a psychological game with victims to make them feel helpless and cause hysteria, but just because as Steve Miner said in a article it's because "Jason wouldn't have motive for what he does."


Again another revisit, but could be that Jason Voorhees simply just hides the bodies to avoid anyone ruining his bigger schemes like killing other counselors and anyone prematurely alerting others.


True Psychopathic Mentality? Jason Voorhees likes the thought of using people as Decorations this could explain more from Part 7 where Jason just puts Michael's Girlfriend pinned to a tree in the open, and with another body hiding in a leaveless tree.

I was never truly wondering about it, but now that you mention it, it seems a bit odd to me. Looks more like a Michael Myers style to me. Not that any of the two would ever won a Nobel Prize for nuclear physics, but you gotta admit that Jason comes out as the one, who is more dumber.

The Novelization for the films where its expanded upon Jason is actually quite intelligent even despite his physical deformity.

I was thinking he might hide the bodies in the short term to cover up his presence at least in the short term, then when he thins the herd enough, wipe out who's left without added interference.

That's also a very reasonable explanation of why Jason has those placement of the bodies in different locations.

Imagine finding Crazy Ralph in a closet after his meeting with Jason!!!!
