Forget ‘Freddy vs Jason’ and Instead Embrace ‘Freddy AND Jason’!

Earlier this week was the 13th anniversary of Ronnie Yu’s Freddy vs Jason, the film that pitted two horror giants against each other. The movie, while seen as hokey to some, is a movie I absolutely adore. It was everything I was looking for in a film like this. I didn’t expect subtlety nor did I expect an intricately woven storyline that was full of lore. What it DID offer was a bunch of kills and, ultimately, two icons going toe-to-toe in a wildly entertaining fight sequence.

But even I can admit that being enemies for so long must get exhausting for the two. After all, there comes a time when you just have to put aside your differences and find your common interests, of which both Freddy and Jason have many. Both had rough childhoods, both are disfigured, and both love killing teenagers. To paraphrase Step Brothers, they should just become best friends.

A.V. Club found artist Rafael Koff, who obviously feels the same way as he drew some adorable illustrations of Freddy and Jason spending time together as best friends. Sometimes the past needs to be forgotten and a new foundation put into the ground. These two are just going to have to lay it down amongst all the bodies they’ve amassed, which is rather beautiful in its own way.

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
