first of all, PLEASE DIE ALL VERSUS MOVIES!!!! Freddy vs. Jason was better then expected and alien vs. Predator might be worth it, but please everyone stop while we are ahead
Second, Why was John Carpentar approached about this, when Clive Barker was the creator of both frachises?? he would be a more obvious choice???????

i would say hellraiser and candyman in a film would be a good match but out of them 2 hellraiser would be victorious..

Exactly. No one should even be able to TOUCH either of those movies except for Clive Barker.
Besides, Clive Barker is THE best horror author of all time IMHO.

I heard they were both approached (Carpenter and Barker) about the Hellraiser/Halloween crossover but the idea was dropped by Dimension. Never heard about a Candyman/Hellraiser flick, but Barker would be the obvious choice.

Ya know what movie I'd like to see? The one that names the sources saying Carpenter was approached with doing this.
I posted this a while back. It's part of a small interview from a local magazine. It's translated from Dutch. In this, Carpenter says he was approached to direct the Hellraiser/Candyman movie, but says he declined:
Question: There are rumors they're planning a remake of your biggest classic 'Halloween' in Hollywood?
Carpenter: They didn't ask me. They did ask me if I would be interested in a monstermovie where Pinhead from Hellraiser would battle with Candyman. It would be something like Freddy vs Jason. I kindly declined.
Question: In a recent interview you have complained that you barely get any work in Hollywood. You even threatened to retire and only smoke dope & watch porn from now on.
Carpenter: I meant that half-ironically. But I admit: It isn't as fun as it used to be. I'm not planning on making any more movies, unless someone gives me a fortune.

Another interview snippet:
"Dimension had actually approached them about was a Michael Myers meets Pinhead film with Clive Barker writing and Carpenter directing," Sandy King admittedly told our source, though, that this pairing would be unlikely but, "…Carpenter is a great fan of Barker's and the one thing that might tempt him would be if Barker signed on and had a great script idea."

I think it would be a interesting concept but would really be a good movie? I am an avid Pinhead fan and I do like the
Candyman but how would you bring the two together and really make it worth watching!!!!!!!

It just wouldn't work, unless they where included in the next two freddy vs jason movies.
it just might work, but the whole idea just sounds silly
jason and freddy where bigger movie serial killers and had more movies released

I'm almost certain that I will get attacked for this comment, but who gives a fuck? hehe
Honestly, I thought the entire Friday the 13th series of movies was SHIT. That's right, I think they were total fucking garbage. Jason is the lamest monster from any movie EVER MADE, in my opinion. He lacks personality. He lacks originality. He lacks charisma. He doesn't even fucking speak!!!!! OK, I know, Micheal Myers doesn't speak either, but he has charisma, so he doesn't need to speak. He does cool things like tilting his head to one side after impaling someone onto the wall with his knife. Jason has no such quirks. He is a VERY underdeveloped character. He is useless monster kaka. I could not believe they even bothered to waste Freddy's time buy putting that big, dumb lug into a film with him. What was Robert England thinking? Candyman would have been far more appropriate for the role. Ive always felt that him and Freddy have a lot in common. I think that pairing would have been FAR more interesting than the one they chose to persue. I really don't know why everyone seems to hate Candyman so much. I thought it was a very original concept. The storyline certainly had more depth to it than Friday the 13th's "A kid drown while some camp counslers were screwing and now he is back from the dead to get revenge" pile of CRAP!!! Anyway, its just my opinion. Take it whatever way you want to.
