\n\tWhile donning the iconic blue sweater for Crystal Lake<\/a>, Linda Cardellini<\/a> was ready to go full Pamela Voorhees with her killer 1970s transformation.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Emmy-winning actress told Deadline she \u201coriginally wanted to\u201d recreate Betsy Palmer\u2019s iconic crop-style haircut from Friday the 13th<\/a> (1980), and they even \u201ctried it for a second\u201d but series creator Brad Caleb Kane<\/a> didn\u2019t want to stray into \u201ccosplay territory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe talked about it a lot, but then we realized we had 10 years to get to that hairdo,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo, she can\u2019t keep that hairdo for 10 years. It wasn\u2019t in style that much. So, we tried it for a second there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCardellini added, \u201cBut the sweater was really exciting because I know it means a lot, and so putting it on sort of was a responsibility. I\u2019ve had a few famous sweaters that had mantles I\u2019ve had to carry, so I understand the weight of carrying a very important sweater and so I hope I do it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIndeed, Cardellini donned an equally iconic orange turtleneck to play Velma Dinkley in the 2002 and \u201904 live-action Scooby-Doo movies.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter teasing that Cardellini\u2019s Pam would take on the character\u2019s signature blue cable-knit sweater<\/a>, Kane noted, \u201cThe sweater is iconic enough. I think when you get into the place of, \u2018OK, we\u2019re going to recreate Betsy Palmer\u2019s haircut,\u2019 you start to get into cosplay territory, and I don\u2019t think you need to do that.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBecause you hire Linda Cardellini, she\u2019s gonna create her own character, with respect to Betsy Palmer\u2019s performance, and a lot of that does come out,\u201d added Kane. \u201cThere are great, great nods and Easter eggs for fans, but you have to sit back and let her cook, so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStreaming Oct. 15 on Peacock<\/a>, Crystal Lake stars Cardellini as Pam Voorhees, who struggles to grieve after her son Jason drowned the summer before. As two strangers begin digging into her mysterious past, Pam goes to murderous lengths to keep her secrets buried.<\/p>\n
