Freddy vs. Jason Success May Lead To More Horror Pairings
The release of the horror flick Freddy vs. Jason, which sees Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees leave Camp Crystal Lake for Elm Street to battle A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, has left many moviegoers speculating what other possible iconic horror collaborations Hollywood has up its sleeve.
There is more to Freddy vs. Jason's appeal than a random villainous matchup. After all, fans have been waiting for the film, which has been in development since 1994, for almost 10 years now. Sean Cunningham, the film's producer, told The Associated Press Tuesday that the key to success is innovation.
"I think a lot of people will be talking about different kinds of 'Somebody vs. Somebody,'" Cunningham told reporters. "And the trick will be to try to stay ahead of the curve; not try to imitate what we've done but to try to anticipate something newer and fresher."
