Freddy vs. Jason is a 2003 American slasher film directed by Ronny Yu. The main characters include horror icons Freddy Krueger (from A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Jason Voorhees (from Friday the 13th). In the series continuity for both franchises, the events of this film take place after Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.
Freddy Krueger is stuck in Hell, and his only way out is if people remember him for his terrible deeds. Therefore, he resurrects the undead serial killer Jason Voorhees, who is capable of acting in the real world, and tricks him into rising from the grave again.
In the disguise of Pamela Voorhees (the only person to whom Jason will listen), Freddy convinces Jason to kill teenagers living on Elm Street to make the residents of Springwood, think that Freddy is back.
A group of youths, including the protagonist; Lori Campbell, and her friends Kia, and Gibb are questioned in relation to the death of Gibb's boyfriend. Lori hears Freddy's name said by one of the police officers. The group is then sent to the police station, where Lori dozes off. In her dream she sees girls skipping rope and singing Freddy's theme song. Freddy tests his power gained from the fear caused by Jason's attack. Although he is able to be seen by Blake, (one of the teens partying at Lori's house) Freddy cannot cause any damage. So, Freddy lets Jason kill Blake and his dad, overlooking the massacre and remarking that he will, "get the glory."
At school the next day, Kia, Lori and Gibb hear about Blake's death and Lori tells everyone about her dream, in front of everyone in the school. After she tells them, she finds that her old boyfriend, Will Rollins has returned (she didn't know that he had been kept in an asylum for years for seeing Lori's father kill her mother).
Later that night, everyone goes to a rave in a corn field. Gibb apparently takes some date rape pills and falls asleep, vulnerable to Freddy. She has a dream where she sees her dead boyfriend Trey and follows him to a barn, which turns out to be Freddy's Boiler room. A boy comes across Gibb's unconscious body and kisses her, but while this is occurring, Jason crashes the rave, killing Gibb (who is still sleeping, stabbing her just before Freddy can kill her himself), the boy, and 8 others. This angers Freddy, seeing that Jason refuses to stop, he yells "She's mine! Mine! Mine!"
Kia, Lori, Will (now escaped from the mental institution), and two fellow students, Freeberg and Linderman escape from Jason. Will, after dropping off everyone but Lori, tells Lori why he was sent to the institution. Seeing Will with Lori, Mr. Campbell rushes up to his daughter and orders her into the house. Will tries to tell Lori that her father works at Westin Hills and he was the one that had Will committed. In a panic, Mr. Campbell grabs Will by the throat, forcing him against the van and yelling "I'm not going to let you endanger my daughter again!" Lori runs into the house and orders her father to tell her the truth. His story doesn't comply and she runs off.
Deputy Stubbs, a rookie police officer tries to inform the Sheriff about Jason, thinking he is a copycat killer, but the sheriff refuses to believe it. Stubbs goes to Lori and the others, and tells them about the killer's entire history. They all conclude that Freddy is the one pulling the strings in order to return again. However, by the time they realize this, the fear has made Freddy strong enough to come back from Hell, although he is angry at Jason's continued presence in 'his' town.
