The PowerPuff Girls/Friday the 13th Connections

In tie-in to the recently released crossover of the canon The PowerPuff Girls vs Pamela Voorhees (2021 book), this article digs into a list of connections between the kids show the PowerPuff Girls and the horror slasher flick Friday the 13th. This includes things that do not actually references things within the actual subject and only pertains to references before and after the crossover. Please note that this only contains references and connections to Pamela Voorhees only, not her son Jason in the attention manners.

Honorable Mentions

 * one of the girls' friends in the 2016 series is named Barry Mackerbacker. Barry is also the name of the male camp counselor amoung the 2 that that let Jason drown whom Pamela killed in 1958 (which can be seen at the start of the 1980 movie alongside Claudette, the female).


 * the premise of both the PowerPuff Girls and mainly the original Friday the 13th revealed around female heroes/killers. However, this is may be a coincidence up until the release and concept of the crossover came about.


 * In the episode of the 2016 series entitled the Fog (which may or may not be the same and connected to the John Carpenter movie the Fog), Buttercup projects a power aura in the form of a bow and arrow, which is also one of the 4 main weapons Mrs. Voorhees uses to kill. (Note: Bubbles uses the same thing in the bedtime scene of the crossover afterwards).


 * in the upcoming book called The Big Show, a woman in the line the Girls and Professor are in looks similar to Pamela, which was released after the crossover. But this is likely a coincidence.


 * in an upcoming story called Mom For One and Mom for All, the Girls try to help the Professor find a lady to date and could eventually marry so they'd have a mother figure finally into their lives (the first time since the episode of the 1998 series, Mommy Fearest, which the story is loosely based on). One of the ladies the Professor dates goes by Betsy P. She came from a line of people who did consumer commercials that didn't actually give their last name. Pamela Voorhees' portrayer in the movie is Betsy Palmer, whom the Betsy P lady's name may just be a coincidence but yet references to and could stand for something else.


 * in the story "Talking Com", there's a woman who is a crazy fan of this new fad involving a talking computer, and she looks like Pamela a bit. The Talking Computer later mind controls the woma into doing his bidding along with some other Townsville folks and the girls must put a stop to the computer's ways. Talking Com was nothing but a historical memory, and the woman along with several others are normal again. She also mentions having a son named Jacob, which is similar to Pamela's son's name.
