** Whatever the final scene of FvsJ suggests, Freddy will be going back to Springwood to slaughter more kids. He succeeded in spreading the fear he'd wished to when Will & Mark told the Legend of Krueger at Springwood High so there are tons and tons of high schoolers who know Freddy now. Freddy may have lost the battle, but he won the war. Alternatively it can be observed that Springwood can simply replace its' supply of Hypnocil and people aren't afraid of Freddy but the man in the hockey mask who attacked the cornfield rave. The only 2 people even aware of Freddy's return are the hero and heroine who obviously aren't scared of him.

* The movie is implied to have a BroadStrokes continuity. The way Freddy's narration is framed implies that it was Nancy saying she didn't believe in him which was one of the final straws in Springwood erasing his memory (although it could be in that order for dramatic effect). This could be seen as implying the existence of a slightly different timeline where more of Freddy's victims survived their encounters with him or were never attacked in the first place before Springwood temporarily banished him.

[[WMG: ''Freddy vs Jason'' actually takes place *before* ''Jason Goes to Hell'']]
Everyone seems to assume, mainly due to the ending of part 9 and some lines in the Vs movie, that Freddy VS Jason must take place after Jason Goes to Hell. But it actually kind of makes more sense to assume it comes before. For one thing, Steve in Part 9 mentions that the cabins at camp crystal lake were torn down two years prior, yet in Freddy vs Jason we see the whole camp still intact (was it torn down because of the huge explosion that devistated it in VS?) Assuming that Part 9 takes place after VS could also explain how Jason was revived after part 8 (Freddy ressurected him) and how he got from New York back to Crystal Lake (Freddy brought him to Springwood, and then the kids took him the rest of the way back). It might also explain how Jason suddenly developed body jumping abilities, the supernatural ressurection by Freddy ended up giving him some unexpected new powers.
* It would be a little better to suggest the not-deadite hopped into him out of hell during the ressurection unknown to both Freddy and Jason. When Jason got blown to bits it was able to take over.

*** Then maybe Freddy succeeded in this film after all. He will indeed get credit for all the killing Jason did, and that is what will give him enough power to bring about the events of Freddy's Dead.
*** The promotional materials state that this film takes place exactly 4 years after Freddy's Dead. The writers just chose to ignore the "10 Years From Now " thing just be pragmatic.
*** Clips from Freddy's Dead are seen in the opening prologue to FvJ, showing that those events have already happened by the time this movie's events occur.

* Jason decided to return to camp crystal lake and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th_(2009_film) started all over]], but decided to keep Freddy's head. Freddy was able to find a new head which was less ugly, but had worse burns and a new arm. Freddy built a new glove, since his old one was at the bottom of the lake, which was slightly different and he went [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Nightmare_on_Elm_Street_(2010_film) right back to Elm Street]]

... is because Freddy can access drug trips just like he can dreams. But his ability to affect the real world is not as strong in that case.

Added DiffLines:

**** Just because the movie is canon to the comics doesn't mean the comics are canon to the movies. There is nothing to suggest that anything but the movies are canon. Comics, novels, etc. exist in their own alternate universe and have never been acknowledged in any capacity. Essentially, they're "what if's".
