Something compelled me to look up Richard Brooker today and I noticed that not long ago - April 8 - he passed away. I have to say that it was a sad day for myself, being a huge fan of the Jason Voorhees character that he pretty much invented in Part III.
Brooker was pretty much forced to invent Jason himself, when director Steve Miner told Brooker that Jason had no motivation.
Here's a really old photo of Brooker and his horse.
