So, I'm about to start on this this week and was just wondering, what names am i allowed to use? Take Friday the 13th for example. I assume i can use the name Jason, but probably now Jason Voorheese or Camp Crystal Lake. Am I wrong? What names am i allowed to use? What about character likenesses? Thanks everyone, & what an awesome idea for a Jam!

I would lean towards allusions not outright naming, but Crystal Lake is legally usable as is Jason and the hockey mask, though I would not use Jason in that sentence personally as names are typically copywritten. Also Camp Crystal Lake is probably IP but Crystal Lake definitely isn't. That kind of stuff. Obligatory I'm not a lawyer.

Good to know Michael, thanks for the response! Ill have to use allusions or non copyright-able names like Jason or Mars (Madman Marz) or whatnot. I might make my title intentionally sound like a B movie style rip off (to avoid any legal headaches), that could be fun.
