Bill's death at the hands of Pamela Voorhees

William "Bill" Brown was one of the counselors hired by Steve Christy to help renovate Camp Crystal Lake in 1979. He is the last victim of Pamela Voorhees. Bill was upbeat and quite handy. Given his attention that he paid to the camp's electrical generator, it seemed that he was had some knowledge about mechanics and electricity, and as such may have been that Steve assigned him to be the camp's maintenance man.

Biography[]

In the summer of 1979, Bill was given a job as a counselor at Camp Crystal Lake by Steve Christy. On Friday, June 13th, Bill and the rest of the counselors were hard at work renovating the abandoned camp. After Steve went into town to buy some more supplies, the counselors had lunch and relaxed for awhile by the lake. Shortly after, Bill killed a snake that had gotten into Alice Hardy's cabin. [1]

As a storm hit the lake that night, Bill, Alice, and Brenda Jones got comfortable in the main cabin, playing Strip Monopoly, smoking weed left by Marcie Stanler, and drinking beer. Bill seemed to be the worst player at the game, having been stark naked as it progressed (although his nudity was concealed by a shot of him being seated at a table), whereas Brenda was down to her bra and panties. Alice was still fully clothed until she lost a turn and was ready to remove her shirt. The trio saw that the rain storm had progressed to thunder and lightning, and decided that now was a good time to terminate the game. Brenda left to go to bed, whereas Bill put his clothes back on and announced he was going to see if the generator had been damaged by the storm. After a cursory inspection, Bill determined the machine was fine and returned to the main cabin, where Alice told him she thought she heard Brenda scream and that the lights in the archery range turned on momentarily. Worried, Bill and Alice went to look for their fellow counselors, discovering a bloodied axe in Marcie's bed and finding all the others missing. Breaking into the locked office, Bill and Alice tried to call for help, but found the phone dead, along with the only remaining vehicle. Alice had become increasingly distraught and panicky and was prepared to walk to town. However, she was overpowered by Bill, who warned that if a killer was about, he would likely easily find Alice meandering, and more than likely she could get lost in the wild backcountry this time of night. Bill said the safest course of action was to stay in the main cabin and wait for Steve to return. Alice calmed down and accepted Bill's recommendation. [1]

While Bill and Alice waited for Steve the power went out, necessitating Bill to go check on the generator. Telling Alice to stay behind, Bill headed for the generator shed and found the machine out of gas. While he was tending to the problem, Alice then found dead bodies and then was later confronted by Pamela Voorhees. In the struggle to escape Pamela's rampage, Alice returned to the generator shed in an attempt to alert Bill, only to find him now among the murder victims, his throat slit akin to Ned's and his body pinned to the wall with arrows.
