Crystal Lake Research Facility

The Crystal Lake Research Facility is a fictional laboratory and a secondary location featured in the Friday the 13th film series. It appeared in the 2002 sci-fi sequel, Jason X.

History
The Crystal Lake Research Facility was located in Crystal Lake Township in Wessex County. It was named for Camp Crystal Lake, which had earned itself a dark reputation as the site of many violent and gruesome murders spanning several decades, most of which were perpetuated by masked serial killer Jason Voorhees.

By 2010, the Crystal Lake Research Facility was engaging in studies in cryogenics. Jason Voorhees had since been apprehended and while the authorities attempted numerous times to execute him, he simply would not die. Until a more permanent solution could be devised, the military kept Jason contained at the research facility, where he was isolated in a large warehouse room and bound in chains.

The head of the Crystal Lake Research facility was Aloysius Wimmer. Wimmer came to the site one day to inspect Jason Voorhees, and was accompanied by a group of armed military men. Jason escaped from his chains, killed the guard that was watching over him, Johnson, then took to slaughtering anyone within his reach. He threw a long sharp instrument that impaled Doctor Wimmer. A scientist working at the facility, Rowan LaFontaine, tried to escape, and Jason and she cornered each other in the cryogenics lab. Rowan locked him inside of a cryo-chamber, but Jason used his machete to pierce the chamber door, as well as her abdomen. The site went on lock-down and the entire room, as well as the chamber, was flooded with gas that placed both Jason and Rowan into suspended animation.
