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.
