His plan: send Jason to Elm Street to kill some teenagers and therefor have people talking about him again. Since they have erased him from Springwood history, teens nowadays have no idea who Freddy Krueger was. The plot, despite being rewritten multiple times, is fairly simple: Freddy is stuck in Hell and canРІР‚в„ўt terrorize teenagers anymore because he apparently derives his power from being feared. Freddy is provided with a supernatural opponent for the first time.

Jason is taken out of Crystal Lake and placed into both Springwood and the dream realm. Jason provides each character with something new. The dream element gave the makers all the freedom they want to create outlandish ways for people to die, whereas most slashers were stuck to using the usual kitchen and garden appliances. Freddy came four years later and was a rather original take on the slasher genre. A movie that traded suspense for gore while trying to cash in on the sudden slasher craze of the late 70s/early 80s. Friday the 13thРІР‚в„ўs Jason was the result of the success of Halloween. In terms of style and substance Freddy and Jason could not be further apart. There have been some horror crossovers during the 50РІР‚в„ўs, but the concept of two horror icons facing off was pretty new and has not been done since.

Remember, this was long before cinematic universes were developed. Guess it was pretty difficult to think of a way to have these characters enter each others universes. It took them 10 years to make this movie.

ThatРІР‚в„ўs why all the movies released after Part 8 used the name Jason: Jason Goes To Hell, Jason X and now Freddy vs. Fun fact: they only obtained the rights to the character but not the Friday The 13th title. Something which was possible because movie studio New Line Cinema, which already owned Freddy, had obtained the rights to the character of Jason. The moment the mask of Jason Voorhees was pulled into the ground by the glove of Freddy Krueger in the final shot of Jason Goes To Hell people started speculating when there would be a movie that put these two horror icons against each other.
