• Synopsis: It's been nearly ten years since Freddy Krueger terrorized people in the dreams, and the towns folk want to keep him erased from their memory. Freddy still has one more plan on getting back to Elm Street. He resurrects Jason Voorhees and sends him off to kill. The more bodies which fall to the ground, the stronger in which Freddy becomes. This is until, Freddy realizes that Jason isn't going to step aside easily, and must be taken down himself.

• Intention:  I can't remember for certain but I think I saw Freddy vs Jason before anything from their respective series, and it scared the dickens out of little child me. After subsequent viewings, I didn't find it nearly as frightening and in fact, couldn't look past its hokey bits enough to really enjoy it.

I would watch and rewatch the rest of the movies in both series multiple times in following years, and earlier this year I released edits of both series, but I had haven't rewatched Freddy vs Jason in about 20 years. To my surprise, it holds up far better than I remember aside from a few nitpicks, which I guess isn't surprisingly when compared to the later Nightmare and Friday sequels.

So I dove in and worked to alter some of those sticking points, like some poorly aged CGI effects, over-the-top humor, lack of iconic music, and presence of the Jay and Silent Bob ripoff character of Freeburg, in hopes of elevating the overall viewing experience. I also included all but one or two deleted scenes because they helped to build up overall character development and helped me work around some scenes (namely the CGI Freddy Krueger caterpillar)

Change List:

• Added the alternate opening to the film

• Trimmed a bit where the first victim hides from Jason around a tree

• Included a deleted scene with Gibb arguing with her boyfriend

• Trimmed some footage when Blake is looking around Lori's kitchen when the back door opens

• Cut the CGI blood drops falling and disappearing during Lori's dream at the police station

• Cut the line, "Blake, we need to talk" and "You watch yourself, boy!"

• Reduced the amount of time that the CGI shadow Freddy is on screen when attacking Blake

• Added the NOES theme when Freddy realizes he's not strong enough to kill Blake, and then I added "Jason's Surprise Attack" when Blake find his father's body

• Added the deleted intro to Will and Mark at Westin Hills

• Added the deleted scene with Lori's father picking her up from the police station

• Added the cut scene of Lori finding out her house's door was originally red like it was in her dream

• Cut the amount of time that Kia's cut off nose is on screen

• Added "It's Just a Dream" and "Hair Cut" from the Elm Street remake's score to Freddy's pursuit of Gibb

• Sped up the stuttering shot of Jason impaling Gibb and her attacker

• Cut the line, "Why don't you go find yourself a pig to fuck?"

• Removed the stuttering shots when Jason walks through the corn on fire

• Cut Freeburg's line, "Dude that goalie was pissed about something"

• Cut Freddy starting Mark on fire in his dream. Instead, when Freddy sends him flying into the wall into the dream, he rams into his door in the real world

He goes to find the Hypnocil but when he looks to see what's on the ceiling, I replaced the caterpillar with flashes of demon Freddy before he possesses Freeburg. Then, I included the deleted scene of Freddy saying he's "behind the wheel" before going to spill the Hypnocil down the sink.
