In 2003, a slasher showdown featuring two of the biggest icons in horror history took place. On one side was Freddy Krueger, A Nightmare on Elm Street's antagonistic nightmare stalker; at the other end was the hulking, hockey mask-wearing Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th. What started off as a "simple" request from Freddy to have Jason incite fear back into the hearts of the teenagers of Springwood turned into the bloody and brutal battle that is Freddy vs. Jason -- and horror fans loved it. The meeting of these two masochistic monsters had been a wish of many fans, and the execution played out in perfect gory glory. Not only that, but Freddy vs. Jason became the highest-grossing horror flick for not just one but both franchises.
