{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}My-day the 13th! This is the moment a dad in the U.K. granted his son's birthday wish – to be picked up from school by Jason from “Friday the 13th.”
Sam Murphy wanted to surprise his son Carter, who has ADHD, with a special treat for his big day. He asked Carter what he wanted and was told his one wish was to meet the legendary villain and serial slasher Jason Voorhees.

Despite warning his son that it would be difficult to pull off, Carter found “Jason” waiting for him outside the school gates and the pair walked home hand in hand.

"It was quite a nice experience, he was walking down the street holding hands with Jason. He has issues with touching, he won't hold my hand."

"Carter hasn't shut up about it, Jason gave him a t-shirt and he hasn't taken it off since. I can't get it in the wash,” Sam revealed. "Jason came into the house with his shoes on and Carter said, 'Dad, Jason left his shoes on' and I replied, 'Well, I'm not telling him to take them off.'
