Today marks the fifteenth anniversary of the premiere of Freddy vs. Jason. The film is a crossover between two iconic horror franchises, serving as the eighth entry in the A Nightmare on Elm Street series and eleventh in the Friday the 13th series. It is also the last in both series before both series were rebooted with new casts and crews. It follows the two titular villains as Freddy Kruger tries to use Jason Voorhees in order to escape Hell until the camping-based killer begins depriving the dream murderer of his victims bringing the two into a climatic battle. It was well received in comparison to the rest of both series and was a box office hit.

This was the ninth and final time Robert Englund played his iconic role as Freddy having played the character since his creation in all previous films and television series. Special thanks was given to David S. Goyer and Lisa Zane for her role in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.
