9 Horror Movie Villains Who Turned Hero In The Sequel

9. Jason Voorhees - Freddy Vs. Jason

Rather ironically, considering who's involved, 2003's Freddy vs. Jason was a horror fan's dream come true.

The famous glove-wearing antagonist from the Nightmare on Elm Street series teaming up with Friday the 13th's main villain? This was an absolute fantasy!

It all starts with a dejected Freddy Krueger reviving Jason Voorhees from the dead to assist him in his evil work. Jason soon gets to work slicing and dicing his way through the inhabitants of Springwood, all the while being manipulated by the demon who brought him back to life.

The regular folk in this film orchestrate events leading to Jason and Freddy fighting each other instead, although this doesn't stop them from killing several people in the process. Just as the fight looks to be over and Freddy is about to kill the remaining survivors, Jason emerges from behind him to impale Krueger with his own glove.

Whilst he's not a full blown good guy, Jason is presented as the more sympathetic of the two monsters in this film. He does also make the final save, so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
