Plot: It's a fight to the finish between two of the most famous horror icons ever created from the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th" film franchises. In one corner - Freddy Krueger - The bastard son of a nun raped by forty imprisoned psychopaths. Krueger became a school janitor and began killing children along Elm Street - until the surviving teenagers found out and burned him alive in his own shack. Years later when the teens had become parents, Krueger returned in the dreams of their sons & daughters and killed them & all those who helped them one-by-one over the course of six murderous encounters before he was killed by his daughter. A more sinister version of Krueger made it into the real world, haunting the actress who played the first film's heroinne before she & her son defeated him once and for all.
In the other corner - Jason Voorhees - born disfigured he was thought to have drowned in the famous Camp Crystal Lake when he was a young boy due to the fact that the teenage lifeguards were too busy pleasing each other to watch out for the young boy. Years later, after the death of his schizophrenic mother who killed a group of teenagers trying to reopen the camp, Jason went on three murderous rampages until his death. The killer was copycated a year or so later, but even the grave couldn't hold the real Jason and he returned on four more killing sprees before he was eventually pulled into Hell.
Because of his horribly unforgivable sins, Freddy is stuck in Hell eternally as the Elm Street kids no longer fear him. But he's found a way to allow him to escape - through dream manipulations and guilt, he's able to convince hockey-masked psychopath Jason to attack the teenagers of Springwood which will spread nightmares and allow him back into that world. But Jason is not happy being the fried face one's puppet and soon the pair duel it out.
