Fans of the Friday the 13th film series will appreciate that Lahr's depiction of Jason has some cinematic history behind it, since at the conclusion of Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives, Jason ends up in chains at the bottom of a lake, but alive with his eye open. Lahr was clearly paying attention to detail when he crafted his version of Jason for the Minnesota lake, since any unfortunate diver who happens across his creation will find a piercing eye staring at them through Jason's goalie mask.

Now that the secret's out in a big way about the waterlogged Jason statue, perhaps not as many divers will be freaked out at the sight of the big screen maniac, but the thought of it being there is funny nonetheless. Perhaps Minnesota's "Camp Crystal Lake" will become a new tourist destination for horror film fans, although some serious diving experience will be required. Maybe they'll have to settle for the Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues from Joel and Ethan Coen's crime masterpiece Fargo instead.
