Freddy vs. Jason
Directed by Ronny Yu
Released August 15, 2003
Freddy vs. Jason was released almost 10 years to the day after Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday in which a confrontation between Freddy and Jason was first teased on film. (At the end of the movie Jason's mask is pulled down to hell by Freddy's glove.) Ever since this scene FVJ remained in developmental hell, seeing countless scripts and creative teams which actually started making the rounds in 1987! Once the movie actually saw fruition in managed to please my inner 11 year old, as well as my 21 year old self. It really captured the spirit of the old Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th films of 1980's.
Unfortunately Freddy vs. Jason appears to be the last installment in the original chronology for both the Nightmare and Friday series. Each series' next film was a remake/reboot. What I wouldn't give to see Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash!
