First 'Friday the 13th' star's dreams are now in rural Oregon

It's one of the biggest scares in scary movies.
That final scene, a dream sequence, in the original "Friday the 13th." (We're talking the 1980 cult hit, not last year's "reimagined" creation by Michael Bay.)
Exhausted teenager Alice Hardy, having just vanquished the crazed killer at Camp Crystal Lake, rests quietly in a boat on the calm water.
Suddenly, Jason Voorhees crashes up from the lake, moss-covered, burned limbs pulling the heroine under.
"It was 28 degrees outside and we had no money for wet suits. I had only one extra pair of jeans and a shirt that I brought," recalls actress Adrienne King.
For the past six years, King, who played the iconic survivor in the first two "Friday the 13th" films, has lived in Jacksonville, Ore.
"It's still one of the scariest endings in cinematic history," she says. "I mean, they went all out to make a killer movie."
No one in the cast, which included randy victim Kevin Bacon, imagined their teen screams were inaugurating a cultural phenomenon: 12 movies, a TV series, book and comic book adaptations, and who knows how many hockey masks sold at Halloween, all over the past 30 years. Adding up the receipts, "Friday the 13th" may be the most successful horror film franchise ever.
"It has spawned a life of its own," King, 50, says. "We were praying the movie would just be finished!"
King is speaking from the offices of Valley View Winery, where she began working earlier this year as hospitality coordinator.
Valley View also launched "Crystal Lake," a wine label inspired by her horror movie history. A lifelong painter, King created the ominous artwork adorning the bottles.
