Alice Hardy is a fictional character in the Fri the 13th franchise. Alice first appears in Friday the 13th (1980) as an artist working equally a campsite advisor. She is portrayed past Adrienne King—who reprises the role in the sequel Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) and the fan film Jason Ascension (2021). Alice's creator, Victor Miller, scripted her as a flawed grapheme, envisioning her in an affair. In one case production began on the original film, budgetary constraints express the deeper exposition intended for Alice's character.

Director Sean Due south. Cunningham and casting director Barry Moss wanted an established actress for the part but realized they could not beget 1. An open up casting call was made for the part of Alice, and Rex secured the role over a hundred actresses who had auditioned. King was asked past director Steve Miner if she would be willing to return for the sequel, and she agreed. Alice is prominently featured in literary works of the franchise, appearing in three novelizations adjusted from films and 2 original novels. Additionally, Alice cameos in the Friday the 13th comics published by WildStorm, and she has been featured in trade and works of fan labor.

Alice'due south confrontation with the villain Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer) and her nightmare sequence of Jason (Ari Lehman) acts as the catalyst for the remainder of the events of the series. Film scholar Ballad J. Clover cited Alice among the original examples of the "final daughter" theory developed in her 1992 nonfiction volume Men, Women, and Chainsaws; notwithstanding, others accept challenged Alice's designation as an archetypal "final daughter". The depiction of Alice's expiry in Fri the 13th Role 2 helped spark a new slasher film trope, in which the main surviving character from the showtime pic is unexpectedly killed off in the subsequent sequel.

Appearances [edit]

Alice appears in 3 of the twelve Friday the 13th films—the first, second, and the 12th movie every bit a camp advisor that beheads Pamela Voorhees, setting off her son Jason's murderous rampage. The books and comics in the expanded universe explore Alice in-depth, providing her a backstory and offering insight into her psychological effect on Jason.

Films [edit]

Alice commencement appears in the original Fri the 13th (1980).[3] The film depicts Alice as an aspiring artist hired every bit a advisor at Military camp Crystal Lake.[3] After numerous killings at the camp by an unseen assailant, Alice manages to survive, largely by chance. Alice ultimately decapitates the villain, revealed to be Mrs. Voorhees, driven to kill past the death by drowning of her immature son, Jason, which she blamed on negligent camp counselors.[3] The film ends with a dream sequence: Alice's nightmare of being attacked by Jason in a canoe.[3]

Alice's 2nd cinematic advent comes in the sequel, Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981). Although Adrienne King received top billing for the film, suggesting Alice would be prominently featured throughout, the grapheme is suddenly killed in the prologue by Jason, who is revealed to be alive, fully grown, and seeking vengeance for the death of his female parent.[4] Alice's unexpected demise became a catalyst for a trope found in later slasher films, in which the main surviving protagonist from the starting time film is unexpectedly killed off in the subsequent sequel.[5] In the franchise's 2009 reboot, which reimagined the events of the first four films, Alice's analogue is an unnamed character portrayed past Stephanie Rhodes. The unnamed army camp counselor grapheme beheads the crazed Pamela Voorhees (Nana Visitor), an event witnessed by the young Jason.[half dozen]

Literature [edit]

Alice appears in three of the twelve novelizations based on films in the franchise and ii original novels. The character made her literary debut in Simon Hawke's 1987 novelization of the original Friday the 13th (1980).[vii] Alice's story arc and backstory draw her in a love thing with two men (John in California and Steve Christy at Crystal Lake). Despite liking them both and struggling to choose 1, Alice wants to go out them as they do not put her above their agendas, just like her belatedly father that worked himself to decease. Alice wants to separate herself from men that take life as well seriously. Hawke's novelization too features Alice being aware of the army camp's grim history that began with the drowning of the young boy Jason.[7]

Alice later appears in Hawke's 1988 novelization of Friday the 13th Part ii (1981), which expands on her aftermath and trauma. Alice is troubled by recurring nightmares of her run into with serial killer Mrs. Voorhees and the recollection of being pulled into the depths of the lake by her supposed drowned son Jason. Alice at present resides in Crystal Lake and frequently visits the lake in an attempt to deal with her trauma, which strains her relationship with her mother who refuses to understand or listen to her. Different the film, the novel details how Jason manages to locate Alice's whereabouts, with the revelations that he recognizes her during one of her visits to the lake and memorizes her automobile. The book and then follows the prologue of the film, with Jason murdering Alice in her domicile.[8]

Alice's consecutive appearances in the earth of literature act more than as a psychological insight into what fuels Jason's anger—each detailing that the memory of him witnessing Alice behead his female parent torments him. While not appearing in the film Freddy vs. Jason (2003) itself, Alice appears in the Stephen Manus novelization as a shade in Hell plaguing Jason'south mind.[9] Alice afterward appeared in ii original 2006 novels. Alice'due south beginning appearance in the original books, is in Christa Faust's novel Friday the 13th: The Jason Strain when Jason becomes enraged when he hallucinates a soldier taking the form of Alice in the procedure of killing his mother over again.[10] The second of the original books is in Stephen Hand's Friday the 13th: Carnival of Maniacs, which adapts the ending of the 1980 film equally its prologue.[eleven] The protagonist, Glo, later discovers Alice's corpse in Jason's shack.[11]

Alice made her debut in comics in ii WildStorm publications, both existence cameo appearances adapted from scenes of the starting time movie. The sixth and final issue of WildStorm's Friday the 13th, depicts a flashback of a young Jason pulling her into the lake.[12] The second consequence of the comic miniseries Friday the 13th: Pamela'south Tale depicts Alice'southward starting time encounter with Mrs. Voorhees.[thirteen]

Development [edit]

Conception [edit]

Writer Victor Miller was told to sentry John Carpenter'due south Halloween (1978) and base a screenplay upon it.[14] Miller was supposed to build Alice upon the characteristics gear up forth past virginal heroine Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in Carpenter'due south film, especially a sense of "resourcefulness and intelligence."[14] Miller, yet, did non find information technology necessary for Alice to be virginal and wanted to depict her as a less sympathetic grapheme.[15]

Miller's early drafts provide Alice with a backstory, with her having an affair with a hubby on the W Coast, which is why her human relationship with Steve Christy is deteriorating, and she wants to go out the camp.[16] Miller'southward most conscious efforts with the character were to write her as an outsider, someone who did not fit in with the residue of the counselors.[15] Once filming began, however, director Sean South. Cunningham did non explore Alice'due south story arc in-depth due to budget and time constraints.[fifteen]

"Alice was a very special character. She was the hero of the first film and indestructible in a style. So it was important that, dramatically, she be killed off because Part 2 was Jason's film—avenging the expiry of his female parent is what motivates him."

— Miner discussing Alice's development in Part 2 [17]

Miller turned downward writing the second motion picture, and Ron Kurtz took on writing duties.[xviii] Kurtz's script kills Alice off in the opening of the film.[19] Director Steve Miner found Alice to be pivotal to the plot equally she is the heroine of the get-go film and that she needed to have a dramatic death as "Part ii was Jason's film."[17] Due to budgetary constraints again, the film only has Alice stalked and killed by an unseen assailant all in her flat.[xx] King interprets Alice'southward death scene as a "nightmare inside a nightmare" and that the viewer never actually saw Alice's body afterward.[twenty]

Casting [edit]

"...the incredible fanbase of loyal and devoted fans that Alice had and how much they cared nearly why I had disappeared from the serial helped me make full in the missing piece and realize that it had all been for a reason."

— King discussing Alice'south fanbase[21]

In 1979, there was an open casting call for the office of Alice as a publicity stunt to go people interested in the production.[22] The audition process for Alice took an entire summer.[22] Cunningham and casting director Barry Moss were initially looking for a big-name extra. At some point, they were pushing for Sally Field to play the part.[22] They began to look for new actresses upon realizing that they could non afford someone established.[23]

King was a friend of a woman who worked in an office alongside Moss.[22] After several other actresses in New York auditioned, they brought King in to audition.[22] When she arrived, there were hundreds of people in the hallway waiting to audition for Alice.[24] Rex recollects not having to even read for a scene but rather introduce herself and scream.[22] After meeting her, Cunningham remarked, "You sneaky guys! You lot saved the all-time one for last!"[22] Cunningham described her as embodying the "vulnerable, girl-next-door type" and having a natural appeal that he wanted for the Alice character.[22] In belatedly August of that year, Rex received a letter of the alphabet making her casting official.[22]

"Literally information technology was a night from hell. There was no dearest on the ready because I was walking into this hornets' nest; unbeknownst to me, Steve Miner idea I was holding out for more bucks, which was uttermost from the truth. Merely, for me, it had to do with the fact that I had something bigger going on in my life at the moment, which was survival—mentally as well every bit physically, because I could non wrap my brain around it."

— King addressing her experience with Part 2 and her stalker situation[20]

Ron Kurtz brought Alice back for Steve Miner'south sequel Friday the 13th Part two (1981), purposefully in a smaller capacity.[17] Both Kurtz and Miner believed Rex and her agent were trying to bribe the production for more than money.[17] [20] However, in reality, King suffered an aggressive stalker after the first picture show and wanted to return as long as her character was handled properly.[25] [26] King did not receive a script but recalls having lunch with Miner and his assistant Denise Pinkley, and they asked if she would be willing to return.[17] She unanimously agreed as she felt it was something she owed the filmmakers due to the offset pic's success.[17]

Alice's scenes for Part 2 were shot over a weekend in Connecticut at the finish of November 1980.[27] Miner recalls having fun shooting Alice's sequences, existence detail about King's movement as the grapheme.[17] Conversely, King described returning as Alice for this moving picture to be unenjoyable due to a mundane fix, "It was just me, a caput in the fridge and someone outside, prepare to throw a black cat at me through the window."[27] Filming Alice's death with the ice pick, Rex was injured when the prop failed to retract.[27]

Characterization [edit]

Motion-picture show critic Terry Lawson describes the character'south depiction in Friday the 13th (1980) equally an "all-American" girl, attributing to her being "destined to be the last one alive."[28] Ted Serrill (Home News Tribune) describes Alice'southward placement as the heroine feeling capricious.[29] Mike Hughes (The Journal News) wrote that Adrienne King "projects a combination of intelligence and fragility," in Alice.[30] Both Hughes and Ron Cowan (Statesman Periodical) criticize the character'south trait of knocking the villain unconscious and running away without killing her, the latter describing Alice as "a rather panicky young woman."[thirty] [31] Alice's creator, writer Victor Miller, acknowledges this feature of the grapheme in an op-ed, writing "Without spoiling the ending for you, I'll say that our heroine becomes locked in a concluding struggle with the villain. Time and time over again the heroine cannot bring herself to kill the villain."[32]

King states that she based her portrayal on traditional horror movie characters and described Alice as a "nifty scream queen heroine."[16] She also expresses regret that, due to the nature of horror movies, audiences never got to run into Alice's relationship with Steve fleshed out, or what could have happened between her and fellow counselor, Bill.[16] Rex describes the role every bit an "empowering position" due to her survival in the film.[33] Because the character displayed an artistic side in the first moving picture, product designer Virginia Field included various sketches in the character'south home in the second movie to humanize the character.[1] She says, "Information technology didn't seem like a big deal at the time we were filming, but I knew that Alice liked to draw and I wanted to show prove of that."[1] Friday the 13th: The Final Affiliate (1984) director Joseph Zito praised the natural performance of Male monarch, "...the manner Adrienne King played the atomic number 82—you really felt for her and cared for her."[34]

Alice has garnered her comparisons to other genre heroines such as Laurie Strode, Ellen Ripley, Nancy Thompson, and Sidney Prescott.[35] [36] Writer Jessica Robinson attributes Alice'south survival to her innocence and resourcefulness.[37] Writer Adam Rockoff describes Alice as a "headstrong artist".[38] Bruce F. Kawin writes that unlike other heroines of the time, Alice isn't saved past a man in the ending, thus having a more profound touch on.[39] While i of the original examples of the "last girl" theory past Carol J. Clover in her 1992 non-fiction book Men, Women, and Chainsaws, Clover'due south inclusion of Alice has been challenged. Philip C. DiMare writes that Alice is a analogue to the "final girl", in that she is both "tomboyish" and not-virginal.[40]

In popular civilization [edit]

"Information technology just always struck me how brutal that was and I always wanted to rewrite that [and] I wanted to give that woman I read well-nigh in the magazine a happier catastrophe."

— Hendrix discussing the impact of reading about Alice'southward decease in a Fangoria article had on him.[41]

Alice is featured in American popular civilization. Merchandise based upon the character has been released periodically years after her debut. McFarlane Toys released a figure depicting Alice being pulled into the lake by a young Jason.[42] NECA released a figure that included Alice's decayed corpse from Office two as a part of the model of Jason'southward shrine to his female parent.[43] Illustrator Erin Ellis released a paper doll of Alice.[44]

Alice is a featured graphic symbol on the alternate cover of the outset issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland.[45] Artist Matthew Therrien released a digital piece of Alice aslope Pamela Voorhees for his "Final Girls & Cinema Survivors" series.[46] The grapheme served as inspiration for writer Grady Hendrix'south idea for his novel The Last Girl Support Group (2021) as her decease in Part two bothered him since he was a kid, and he wanted to give her a happy ending.[41] His graphic symbol of Adrienne, named afterwards Adrienne King, reflects Alice's story.[47]

Alice is brought back in fan labor of the franchise. While non-canonical, Alice is a supporting character in James Sugariness'south fan pic Jason Rise (2021) as an artist suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and wanting vengeance against the Voorhees family.[48] Rex reprises her role.[49] In the Indonesian rip-off of Fri the 13th (1980), Srigala (1981), Alice's analogue is Nina (Lydia Kandou).[50]
