Kane Hodder, who portrays Jason, was severely burned over much of his body during a stunt gone wrong some years prior to this movie and, as a result, the skin below his neck is somewhat discolored and disfigured. One day after filming, he was peeling the Jason costume and make-up off his body when the young child of a crew member (who was brought to the set to see what it was like to make a film) became frightened of his burnt skin. Hodder calmly and sweetly picked up and hugged the child and told him that his body "just looked a bit different" and that there was nothing to be afraid of. Hodder let the child touch the skin on his arm to see that it didn't hurt him; the child immediately calmed down and had a fun time talking to Hodder. It was seeing this and later hearing that Hodder spent much of his free time at children's hospitals that made director Adam Marcus realize that, despite often playing violent or evil characters, "Hodder had a heart of gold".
