Jason Voorhees' (Kane Hodder) screen-matched hockey mask from Rob Hedden's slasher sequel Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. Throughout the film, Jason wore his infamous hockey mask as he stalked and terrorised a class of high-school graduates on a cruise ship en route to New York after being accidentally resurrected from the bottom of Crystal Lake. The mask can be matched to the one seen on screen for the majority of the film from the placement of the markings and stains across it. Out of five made for the production, this was the main hero mask to be worn by Hodder.

Originating from the personal collection of Mr. Hodder, this mask shares several characteristics, such as its larger and rounder overall shape, with the masks that were produced by the Part VI vacuum form moulds. A groove runs across the mouth holes on the inside, which indicates it may have cracked under the vacuum pressure or was cast from one of the later Part VI masks.

The hockey mask is made from clear acrylic and spray-painted yellow with three painted red triangular emblems on the forehead and cheeks. It features three leather straps held together by a three-sided halter square brass buckle. Intentional distressing has been applied, including the axe crack in the forehead from Part III. Remnants of glue and paint runs are present on the mask's interior, and the leather straps exhibit stains and cracking from being submerged in water during the production.
