| - The Unger Institute of Mental Health is a behavioral health facility somewhere in New Jersey, where Tommy Jarvis was committed for psychiatric treatment following his traumatic experience at age 12 in June 1984, when he killed Jason Voorhees in self-defense. This occurred at the end of Voorhees's notorious first murder spree, among whose victims was Jarvis's mother. Jarvis was committed at the behest of his sister, who felt unable to help him through the trauma, and he was thenceforth kept as a ward of the state until turning eighteen. But by age 17, he was transferred to nearby Pinehurst Youth Development Center.

This occurred at the end of Voorhees's notorious first murder spree, among whose victims was Jarvis's mother. Jarvis was committed at the behest of his sister, who felt unable to help him through the trauma, and he was thenceforth kept as a ward of the state until turning eighteen. But by age 17, he was transferred to nearby Pinehurst Youth Development Center. One of the orderlies at the institute, Billy, a cocaine user, was murdered in 1989 by Roy Burns, during the latter's copycat murder spree intended to look like the work of the late Jason Voorhees. Jarvis may have returned to the Unger Institute for additional treatment after experiencing a psychotic break soon after the death of Burns. He and his friend Allen Hawes returned to Crystal Lake (now renamed Forest Green) intent on exhuming Voorhees and destroying his corpse, prompting Hawes to observe that if word of their plan reached "the institution," both men would be permanently placed in straitjackets.
