> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sam Hell \* > \*\*I’m just curious why they’re not using Kane Hodder as Jason, since I thought he did the best job as Hockey Head. And yes,I have seen all of them and compared. Such is my life. \*\* They said they wanted someone who could play the more “vulnerable” side of Jason. I’m not kidding. ---

Bah. Jason can’t die, so he pretty much **CANT** have a vulnerable side! Unless one side of him IS vulnerable!(Literally!) I wonder who’d win if every horror movie baddie fought each other, who’d win! ---

So does the encounter take place in the (movie version of) the real, physical world? Because (most of the time) Freddy doesn’t exist there; he inhabits dreams. Hey, **Dogg** ; are you by any chance the little adolescent shit who turned me off playing Diablo on Battlenet by being a PK? He also started sentences with that moronic “Uhh”. ---

You can get info about the plot at the official site, but I think it starts off in Hell, Freddy can’t escape, so he uses Jason to terrorize kids on Earth. But then Freddy gets out and Jason won’t leave Elm Street. Something like that. I remember reading a really early script that had Freddy as a fellow Crystal Lake camper who played a part in Jason’s drowning- that would be quite, quite cool, but I don’t think they kept it.
