Jason Voorhees vs Michael Myers

[Personification113]

This has surely got to happen sometime. I mean Friday 13th was a knockoff of Halloween in the first place, and replaced poor Michael Myers crusty old Bill Shatner mask with a cool Hockey mask and stole Michael Myers glory. Surely this is a chance to settle the score as to who is the best Supernatural killing machine?

Also, the alleged facts bear me out on this one. From Wikipedia.

For the Halloween franchise.

The films collectively grossed over $366 million at the box-office worldwide.

For the Friday 13th franchise.

The films have grossed over $464 million at the box-office worldwide.

“One day in early 1979, Cunningham called me up and said, ‘Halloween is making a lot of money at the box office. Why don’t we rip it off?'”

Beside anyway, the Halloween franchise can't be brought any lower than it already has with the Rob Zombie incarnations of the franchise. Sure, it might end up as some comic fan service like Freddy vs Jason but it would make absolutely tons of money which means it will probably happen someday.

No. Freddy vs Jason should not have happened. It's a passable movie and I like it enough to own it. But no on Myers vs Jason.

No? Why would you not want it made? You wouldnt even have to watch it... but yu could change your mind at some point and see it.

I'd be curious to see how someone would do it, like an art equation, even though im not really into either one anymore. Freddy/Jason had an element of creativity at least.

But no on Myers vs Jason.

Yeah, DEFINITELY NO!

Yeah, DEFINITELY NO!

You're just saying hat because your brains on fire

I'm with Sculpt on this. Honestly I'm surprised 13 vs 31 hasn't happened yet, and am just even MORE shocked at all the negativity to see this from the fandom... ::sad::

When I heard of Freddy vs Jason I thought it was the dumbest idea. Why would they even want to fight? The twist is ok though with Freddy needing Jason to make people afraid. And them kind of making a short Friday the 13th movie in the opening minutes and the rest of the movie basically being Nightmare on Elm Street.

But Myers? Going from the original Halloween, which is the only one I go by. He is the boogeyman at the end. And essentially after one objective going by the first movie and sequels. Whatever scenario would be stupid to get him to Crystal Lake to fight or perhaps team up with Jason. And the same goes for Jason to get him out of Crystal Lake as that's his environment and part of the appeal for me of the Friday the 13th series.

I think you're dropping this idea with an unseemly haste. Maybe Laurie goes on a nice camping trip? I'm throwing ideas around to see what sticks here and works. Remember Michael Myers can drive in Halloween.

Jason is actually pretty mobile in the franchise. To Manhattan, outer space, on cruise ships. In Part III he's hanging out in a convenience store. In JGTH he frequents the police station, a diner, a private mansion. All to say he is willing to kill people outside Crystal Lake campground, and I think would make a trek to Haddonfield if circumstances warranted.

ETA: Now, I admit the personalities of Jason and Michael might be too similar to motivate a versus film. But let's cast, say, Amy Adams as a new Laurie and Winona Ryder as new Pam Vorhees. I think they could carry a film.

"13 vs 31"... very nice! That's what it should be titled.

Right, Michael became thee Boogeyman, who's motivated by some human family tie. Jason became something of a mix between a vengeful spirit and a boogeyman. I could make a cool orthodox and logical plot with that.

I gave it a bit of thought and just didn't want to continue. I thought about the Laurie to Crystal Lake route. She wouldn't be the sex type but the protective counselor and final girl with potentially another. Jason shows up and does his thing. Myers shows up to "protect" Laurie just because he wants to kill her himself. So Jason and Myers fight to whatever stupid conclusion. They wouldn't team up but they would both kill off the counselors in route to Laurie.

And I don't like the Jason leaving Crystal Lake route. It barely works. And when it does it's a novelty idea and ends up back at Crystal Lake or a similar environment like Freddy vs Jason or Jason X.
