Freddy and Jason Tribute Video Cut to the “Unsolved Mysteries” Theme is Kinda Great

I’m not really sure why this is exists. But I’m glad it does.

With “Unsolved Mysteries” being put up for instant streaming over on Amazon, the TV series that terrified ’90s audiences is experiencing a big time resurgence in popularity. In fact, the show’s creators are hungry to both release the original episodes on Blu-ray and make brand new ones, so it’s possible that the show I like to call “the original nightmare fuel” may soon be back.

One of the standout aspects of “Unsolved Mysteries,” in addition to host Robert Stack’s creepy voice, was the show’s theme song. Composed by Michael Boyd and Gary Remal Malkin, it still to this day sends chills up my spine like no other piece of music really does. It also brings back so many childhood memories of watching the show – and yes, it used to give me nightmares.

Okay, so it still does. Some things never change.

In any event, I bring this up because someone just cut together a tribute video to Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees that’s set to the “Unsolved Mysteries” theme. The footage of Jason is weirdly all from the remake, but the video nevertheless filled me with joy. The final moment from Freddy vs. Jason is particularly badass with the “Unsolved Mysteries” theme blaring. Who knew?!

Check out the fun tribute vid below!

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
