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.
