You can have your phone zoom in on the various parts of the image so you can see the terrifying details. You can use this image as your phone's lockscreen. Go nuts!

12. Stream the Horror!

No JASON movies appear on Netflix, but you could watch Hush. That's a real thriller the likes of which you'll want to watch if you like that very edge portion of your seat.

If you're a Hulu sort of person, I'd recommend one of two series. While there's no Friday the 13th proper, you can still get the beyond-absurd humor from Ghosted. If you want real horrifying horror, I recommend American Horror Story Seasons 1 and Season 6. Season 1 is about a haunted house in a suburban neighborhood, and season 6 is about a haunted house in the middle of nowhere.

14. Play a fun little blood-filled puzzle game

If you've not found yourself addicted to a puzzle game on your smartphone, you've not yet lived your best life. Addiction can be bad, but if you restrict yourself to the 24-hour span of Friday the 13th, you might get away unharmed. Good luck to you! The game is called Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle, and it's available on Google Play for Android and in the App Store for iOS.

15. Find Jason, Enchained!

Watch this video and pee your pants. The video is old, but the fright remains in the lake. This video shows a Jason Voorhees statue planted in a lake in a mine pit somewhere in Minnesota. UPDATE: Location found – Louise mine pit, Crosby MN. Better get yourself a waterproof phone to get a video like this – scary!

UPDATE 2: Apparently Jason is in an EXTREMELY DEEP part of the lake, not for inexperienced divers. If you've not had an immense amount of training and do not have proper equipment for deep diving, don't even bother. Knowing Jason, he's probably not even down there anymore, really.
