** That and when Jason is woken up, his kid self vanishes, leaving Freddy so pissed, he looks up at Lori before lunging out of the water, as everything turns red, [[OneWingedAngel now looking more like a burnt demon version of himself]], making it perfectly clear that now, ''he's not gonna hold back with her''.

* Kia lampshades the nightmare of having to deal with both Freddy (who attacks in dreams) and Jason (who attacks in reality) with one line: "We're not safe, awake or asleep!" Lori downplays it a bit by reminding her it's their dreams killing them, not sleeping.

* Jason killing Trey. [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill He stabs him numerous times with the machete, then pulls both ends of the mattress he's lying on together, viciously contorting his butchered body while he's still barely alive.]] It's pretty horrible to look at, and rightfully fucks up Gibb when she sees it.

** The opening scene of Jason's nightmare - assuming it's accurate to his history and not Freddy making it seem even worse - makes his origin-story even crueler than it had been, revealing that he hadn't just been out swimming when he drowned. [[spoiler: A pack of bullying young campers ''chased him into the lake'', taunting and throwing things at him, then stood jeering on the shore to ''watch him die''. And presumably never owned up to it, given Pamela Voorhees' sincere belief that it was ''solely'' the counselors' fault.]]

** The first part of the dream is pretty darn creepy too. The doomed woman's terror as she scrambles through the mist-shrouded woods is palpable, and to make matters worse, [[NothingIsScarier we never see Jason clearly until he actually kills her, but both we and she know that he's out there and coming for her...]]

** If that's not bad enough, in one of the unused scripts for the film Freddy was to be a ''counselor'' at Camp Crystal Lake and '''molest''' Jason and later drown him so he wouldn't tell.

* Gibb is freakishly unlucky. First she's traumatized by the sight of her brutally murdered boyfriend, then she's lured into a dream by Freddy who slowly hunts and terrorizes her. Immediately after passing out in a cornfield, a man starts molesting her unconscious body. Before Freddy can kill and the man can rape her, though, Jason impales both her and the rapist. Poor girl could not catch a break.

* Freddy lures a drunken, sleepy Gibb away from the rave by taking on the form of her dead boyfriend. This being Freddy, he doesn't make him at all appealing and in fact just looks like a living, clothed version of the broken, mutilated corpse Jason left behind. It's creepy watching him stagger off into the cornfield and threatening her if she doesn't follow.

* Jason's dream at the beginning of the movie. It's a typical scenario that ends with Jason killing a lusty half-naked camp counselor in the woods at night. Then he starts to hear his mother's voice calling him. Then the girl he just killed comes back to life, morphing into his other victims, all of them saying they deserved to be punished. After this, Pamela Voorhees appears. It's a very eerie look into Jason's psyche, even if it does turn out to be part of Freddy's plan.
--> '''Pamela''': Jason. My special, ''special'' boy. Do you know what your gift is? No matter what they do to you, you cannot die. You can never die...

* Blake wakes up after nearly being killed by Freddy in a dream. While catching his breath, he realizes his dad is sitting right next to him, staring out at nothing. He touches his arm to see what's wrong, and his dad's head rolls off his shoulders and lands in his hands. Horrified, he then turns around to see Jason standing right there on his porch. [[CrossesTheLineTwice There's a very raw cut away as Blake screams and actually tries to shield himself with his father's severed head]] just as Jason goes all MacheteMayhem on him.
* Just imagine, you're at a rave, probably a little drunk or stoned (and definitely not taking the recent murders seriously)... then Jason comes walking out of the corn field, [[ManOnFire engulfed in flames,]] and starts slaughtering everyone in sight as the fire starts to spread. Hope you have the car keys, otherwise you're in for a very ill-fated run for your life.
* The part in their last fight where Freddy [[EyeScream stabs Jason in the eyes with his finger blades, and you see Jason convulse and shake as the blood jets from his eyes.]] It makes it clear that while these are virtually immortal monsters, [[AFateWorseThanDeath they can and have endured tremendous agony over the years and felt every bit of it.]] Ouch.
* [[{{Squick}} Let's not forget the scene where Kia is forced to give mouth to mouth to an unconscious Jason Voorhees, as he's drowning in a dream and coughing up liquid.]]
* How about the theatrical ending, where once again it is blatantly illustrated that, [[spoiler: no matter how hard you try to kill them, Jason and Freddy will simply never die.]]

* And a little later in her dream where Freddy basically tries to rape her...sliding his finger blade up her leg in a sadistic and perverted manner and pulling her skirt up... revealing her bare legs as she's whimpering.

** Basically, that was the scene that instantly reversed two-decades of VillainDecay for Freddy: even with the stupid gags, even with the lame jokes, ''he kills children for fun.''

** There's also the way he slowly ''licks'' her photo before pasting it in a book filled with newspaper articles about missing kids in Springwood and photos of all the kids he's killed. It's quietly terrifying and leaves you feeling [[NauseaFuel fouled]] just by seeing it.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Wes Kraven fully intended Freddy to be a child molester, the only reason he\'s never been explicitly called it in the old series is because of censors.


** Freddy is only a child molester in the 2010 remake. Which doesn't make the scene any less terrible, but still.
