Long considered a dream film that would remain that way -- until its release in 2003 -- ''Freddy vs. Jason'' is the {{Crossover}} pretty much every horror/slasher fan longed to see.
The film takes place after the end of both ''Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare'' and ''Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday''[[hottip:*:which hinted at the crossover for the first time with its final shot -- Freddy's claw dragging Jason's mask down to Hell]]. Freddy Krueger has been searching "the bowels of Hell" for someone who can help him regain his powers; since Freddy can only kill people in their dreams if people are sufficiently afraid of him, and the town of Springwood as a whole found a way to forget about him, he has been rendered powerless. Freddy eventually settles on reviving Jason Voorhees, then sends the Crystal Lake Killer to Springwood with the intent of frightening the town so much that they'll blame the killings on Freddy and give him back his power.
For a brief period, this works: an accidental name slip from a police officer is overheard by teenagers connected to Jason's first few victims, and their fear of being killed -- combined with their spreading of Freddy's name around town -- returns the Springwood Slasher's power. Freddy's good fortune doesn't last, however; Jason's bloodlust ends up getting in Freddy's way when one of Krueger's intended victims gets killed by Jason instead. Furious at having been robbed of an opportunity to kill after having finally regained his power, Freddy tries to take Jason out for good while a group of teens look for a way to stop both of the supernatural serial killers.
This film marks the end of both the original ''ANightmareOnElmStreet'' and ''Film/{{Friday the 13th}}'' franchises, since the next films in both franchises would be {{remake}}s/{{continuity reboot}}s. A sequel to ''Freddy vs. Jason'' was originally planned as a film, but a {{comic book}} sequel -- ''FreddyVsJasonVsAsh'' and its subsequent sequel series - was created instead. ''Freddy vs. Jason'' is notable within both of its parent franchises for being the highest-grossing film of '''either''' franchise.
