Freddy’s (sorta) death, Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

Obviously we had to go straight to the final showdown between our two battle-scarred serial killers, who wail on each other for most of act three with a little bit of human interference/assistance and topsy-turvy deployment of their signature weapons (machete, finger-knives). Though Jason emerges the apparent victor, Freddy’s head (severed moments earlier by the movie’s final girl) does offer a cheeky wink at the end… so members of Team Voorhees and Team Krueger, both of whom have just sat through so-so movie that fails to deliver on its much-hyped clash of the horror titans, can feel a little warm fuzzy in the end.
