Demons and zombies can take many different forms, it just depends on the mind of the creator. IE: Return of the living dead 2 zombies chant Brains...thats speech. Serpent and the rainbow zombies are just people who came back to life, horribly mentally scarred by the experience of being interred. Night of the living Dead zombies are just flesh eating monsters with no mind. Correction, no developed mind. In day of the dead, some of the zombies show loyalty to humans and have even recovered some basic memory.
If you want to know what they are. Find the writers contact information and ask him.
here we go again.......
Jason is a demon. Incase you missed Jason goes to Hell.........the entire premise was set for how he can keep returning to his body, reincarnating.
Jason Voorhies was a little boy who drowned. Dead. The entity inhabiting Jason's Body is a demon. In part 9 we watch as this demon/entity from hell jumps from one person to another. Jason Voorhies is just a big lump of meat the demon uses to kill. Zombies don't regenerate limbs, regenerate entire bodies from skeletons, degenerate into little boys (end of part 8), etc. Also, a zombie is nothing more than a reanimated dead body. Jason clearly is not as he bleeds.........and his heart pumps blood (which is what allows him to bleed .....no heart, you've got a body full of coagulated blood...which is dry....picture a scab)...........
As this is the premise that ended the Friday the 13th series......part 8,9, and Jason X.......I shall adhere to it.
From what I have read...there was a script created for Michael Vs. Pinhead written by Clive Barker...John Carpenter was going to direct...
...but as I have posted on other threads...Mustapha Akkad ( the financier for the Halloween films ) pulled out of the deal.
"when it comes to Michael, we don’t feel we have to jump on any matchup bandwagon.” - Akkad
They are shooting for a Fall release of 2004 for Halloween 9.
