As we rejoice the date of certainly one of filmdomâs most beloved titles, we thought you may respect the story of diver Zachary Nagy who put Jason Voorhees on the backside of Lake Nice, AZ., twice.
Some time in the past we instructed you about a life-sized artwork challenge manufactured from a sure hockey-masked slasher named Jason who was faraway from the underside of Lake Nice in Arizona. That story is generally true, however there was a brand new twist you is perhaps involved in.
Like we mentioned in our earlier articles, Nagy made the statue in honor of Jasonâs watery demise in Friday the thirteenth Half 6. The lake mattress diorama additionally features a street signal that reads âCrystal Lake.â
The diving neighborhood thought the concept was cool and a legend was born. It wasnât till movies surfaced on Reddit of the underwater type that issues acquired sophisticated; the Arizona parks division noticed the footage and thus started their mission to take away it.
However right hereâs the place issues acquired murky. Our first article states that the statue had been eliminated, however Nagy, in a 2018 interview for Slasher Radio, says no, heâs nonetheless there, the fits simply havenât discovered him but.
In truth, the artist mentioned he relocated the âphysiqueâ after Lake Nice was drained.
âThey drained the lake decrease than they ever have earlier than, this yr,â mentioned Nagy within the interview on the time. âSo we ended up having to maneuver him like two months in, so everybody thought Jason simply disappeared for a little bit bitâĤ.he acquired down to love twenty ft of water and weâre like okay letâs transfer him again to sixty [feet down].â
For now, it appears, Jason remains to be anchored on the backside of the lake someplace and divers can go to him in the event that they know the place to look, however Nagy isnât giving something away.
âItâs at Lake Nice, however the location I can’t let you know,â he mentioned. Letâs hope the Mulder wannabees on the Arizona Parks Division are unsuccessful of their mission to dredge up Mr. Voorhees.
