Jason Voorhees' (C.J. Graham) screen-matched hero hockey mask from Tom McLoughlin's slasher sequel Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. Jason wore his trademark hockey mask throughout the film, after accidentally being resurrected by Tommy (Thom Mathews). Markings and paintwork on the mask screen-match it to the scene where Jason enters the lake and is seen underwater.

This particular mask was used for multiple stages of the production, but most notably in the film's second half, as it features bullet-hole damage. It was used for close-up shots and underwater stunts, and was also placed on the FX puppet used during the sequence where Jason is hit in the head with a motorboat propeller. The propeller scenes were mirrored on screen, so it appears Jason's mask was hit on the left side when, in fact, he was struck on the right side. This damage was worked into the mask design for the subsequent film, Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.

This instalment in the franchise enjoyed a larger budget than previous productions, meaning that 12 versions of the mask could be created. Eight were used for earlier scenes in the film, while the remaining four featured a bullet hole in the forehead.

The hockey mask is made of clear acrylic, with brown-and-yellow epoxy spray-paint shades applied to the exterior, and a decorative red triangle emblem on the forehead. Intentional wear and distressing are applied, and a large section of the mask's left side is missing, representing the propeller damage. Three brown leather straps are adhered to the mask, and "7" is written in black marker on the inside. Remnants of glue and rubber from the FX puppet are still present on the interior, and the mask exhibits scratches and dried stage-blood markings from production use. The lot remains fragile and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by credited special effects make-up assistant William Forsche. Dimensions: 26 cm x 26 cm x 10 cm (10 1/4" x 10 1/4" x 4")
