<P> Principal photography took place from October 3 and finished in November 1980 , and primarily occurred in New Preston and Kent , Connecticut . Special effects artist Tom Savini was asked to work on the film but declined because he was already working on another project , Midnight ( 1982 ) , in addition he did n't receive well to the concept of Jason as the killer in the film . Savini was then replaced by Stan Winston . Winston , however , had a scheduling conflict and had to drop out of the project . The make - up effects were ultimately handled by Carl Fullerton . Fullerton designed the `` look '' for the adult Jason Voorhees and went with long red hair and a beard while following the facial deformities established in the original film in the make - up designed by Tom Savini for Jason as a child . Fullerton 's look for the adult Jason was abandoned in the sequel , Friday the 13th Part 3 , despite the fact that the film took place the following day and was helmed by the same director , Steve Miner . Some fans have theorized that the sequence where we see Jason with a beard and long hair reflects a `` dream '' rather than a reality because the following sequel picks up with the events showing his face having not happened , and therefore what was represented was Ginny 's guess at what he looked like under the burlap sack rather than what he actually looked like , which would excuse the lack of continuity . </P>
