If Freddy is the one who needs to be remembered, why the hell would he send Jason out to into the world? Go ahead, try to answer that. His solution? To go down into hell and recruit Jason Voorhees ( Ken Kirzinger, a bit of casting that angered fans, since they were hoping previous Jason Kane Hodder would return) to be his puppet. If no one remembers Freddy in their dreams, Freddy can't exist. The premise: Freddy Krueger ( Robert Englund) is in danger of fading away from memory because most of the Elm Street kids are either dead or have forgotten about him. You can point out all of its faults, but then what? This is a film with zero fucks to give. Jason is pretty much what you'd call a critic-proof film. The reviews were merciless, but Freddy vs. Jason hit theaters, and thrilled fans while repulsing everyone else. It would still take another 10 years before the characters actually occupied the screen together. The closest anyone got was a final scene in Jason Goes to Hell, when Freddy's razor glove bursts up from the ground and sucks Jason's hockey mask down into the ground (and into hell, I guess). The idea would knock around for years, with fans demanding the showdown to end all showdowns. As far back as 1987 there were plans to have the two immortal slasher villains meet face to face.
