Like with Jason X, this one shouldn't even be included in this October series but for a sense of completion with bothNightmare and Friday. How could I not include it? I have it noted that I saw this in the theater, but I have no memory of that whatsoever. It was released in theaters a week before I left on a three month backpacking trip. I find it hard to believe it was still in theaters when I returned. And I doubt I would have rushed out to see it while I was preparing for such a big trip.

I wonder how long after acquiring the rights to Friday the 13th it took New
Line executives to start fantasizing a combination movie with A Nightmare on Elm Street. It took more
than ten years to finally get Freddy vs.
Jason into production and then released. Was it worth the wait? Does the
end result provide those who were clamoring for the ultimate confrontation of
80s horror icons with a showdown worthy of the classic status of something like
Godzilla vs. Mothra? I’m not so sure.
