7 Cancelled Movie Sequels Saved By Comics

7. Freddy V Jason V Ash

Freddy Vs Jason was an oddly entertaining flick, combining the pop icons from the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th franchises.

Naturally, after quadrupling it's budget at the box office, a sequel went immediately into production and then slipped firmly into production hell. Granted, the film did start development in 1987 and came out in 2003, so there's always hope for a film version.

Many of the sequel ideas were about adding another horror icon, like Pinhead or Michael Myers, and that's where this comic comes into play. Jeff Katz had a treatment all worked out and ready to go, introducing the one-hand camp wonder known as Ashley Williams. The fun bit is that because of an easter egg in the film Jason Goes To Hell, there was a natural angle for the story to have Ash enter the fray.

Filled with the same carnage, sex and bad one-liners, it is a fantastic sequel to a bombastic movie. There's even a sequel to this comic out that plays with the whole mythos of Freddy and Jason than this does, though.
