Biography[]
In 1984, Harold, while returning home, accidentally knocks over one of the support poles holding up the laundry, causing his wife Edna to berate him from a window. After being yelled at, Harold enter the shop and sets about feeding his pet fish, eating some of the fish food himself, until he realizes it contains dayfly eggs. After feeding his pet fish, Harold finds one of his pet rabbits playing among the produce bins and grabs, setting off to put it with the rest of the rabbits, though before doing so Harold enters the shop area and eats the profits by taking one of the donuts from a box of donuts intended for sale. Harold walks into the storeroom and then is suddenly startled as if he had been stalked. The "stalker" turns out to be Edna, who had come to the storeroom to retrieve an item. She berates Harold for eating a chocolate donut, reminding him that the doctor's orders were to lose weight. She then orders Harold to get the rabbit back into its hutch and departs the storeroom, giving Harold another opportunity to finish his donut.
Harold's death at the hands of Jason Voorhees
Going to the barn, Harold, seeing something has gotten into the rabbit pen and killed one of his pets in cold blood, puts down the rabbit he was carrying and goes to investigate. Looking into the rabbit pen, Harold is scared off by a snake and, rushing back to the shop, passes Edna and heads for the bathroom. While using the bathroom, Harold, feeling as if he is being watched from behind, gets up and goes to look around. Turning on the lights, Harold opens the doors and looks around, and is struck in the chest by a cleaver-wielding Jason Voorhees. In the morning, Harold's body was found and was moved by paramedics.
Trivia[]
- While Jason obtained his iconic hockey mask from Shelly Finkelstein, he stole his new shirt and pants from Harold's wardrobe, which he wore for many years and was even buried in. He does not appear to get a new outfit until Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Harold's clothes were likely destroyed by toxic waste in the previous film.
- Harold's death is similar to that of Marcie Stanler's death in the first Friday the 13th film as both he and Marcie were killed in the bathroom.
