* This is also a good meta AND in-universe excuse for there not being any more Robert-based Freddy movies. Plus, it's ironic; in trying to find a way to bring himself back, Freddy ended up causing his own "demise" ([[AndIMustScream or the closest he'll get to it, since he can't really die]]).

On the part of Pinhead, the lead Cenobite. Even if he doesn't live in hell proper, it's not outside the realm of possibility that he can freely travel to dimensions that aren't Earth. Over the course of the movies, he's occasionally succumbed to the urge to hurt people just for the sake of it. Tricking people into opening the box is too much work, but feeding a predictable spirit like Freddy the idea of using Jason wouldn't be any trouble at all. He gets to inflict a little more of the suffering that isn't technically in his job description, and then watch to creatures that he more than likely loathed beat the stuffing out of each other.

* A Nightmare on Elm Street takes place in 1981, not 1984. The tombstones of Kristen and Kincaid in Nightmare 4 show their death date as 1988. Nightmare 5 opens with the high schoolers graduating and a "Class of '89" banner. Working backwards from those dates places the events of Nightmare 1 in 1981. Freddy vs. Jason features a "Coming in 2004" sign on the construction at Crystal Lake, setting it in 2003. According to the "four years" thing, Freddy's Dead would then take place in 1999.

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]]

* Take note - when Freddy and Jason were fighting in the camp, it wasn't the old, trashed one - it was being rebuilt. Again. You know, because Jason had been dead for a while and people are idiots. That was one helluva setup for more Camp Crystal Lake slaughter.



Jason can come back for Jason X, but Fredyy was unpleasantly surprised to find that nobody alive remembered him and Jason doesn't sleep much. [[AndIMustScream Freddy's in a very nasty situation...]]

* Wasn't there a comic sequel called Freddy vs Jason vs Ash that continued the story?story?
* The 6th Elm Street film also theoretically takes place in the future ("Ten years from now"), like Jason X. If that hasn't happened yet, it would explain why Springwood is a more-or-less normal town in this film, but a nearly empty ghost town with no children and the remaining adults completely insane in Freddy's Dead. No way the town could have been repopulated and Freddy's existence suppressed so well. Even if you assume that the time given in the beginning was ten years from the release of that film (1991), then since this film takes place in 2003 they would have had to fix the town in a mere two years.

It was a long POV shot from Freddy's perspective. The background was the floor of Jason's house, the dripping blood came from Freddy's severed head as Jason carried it around looking for a place to put it. The blood-loss caused Freddy to hallucinate the credits and the song was Freddy singing to Jason to try to convince him not to use him as a flower pot.
