10 Horror Movies That Had TWO Incredible Villains

3. Freddy & Jason - Freddy Vs. Jason

You know what's better than one iconic slasher movie villain? Two, of course.

Freddy vs. Jason delivered exactly what it promised - two legendary horror icons going toe-to-toe in an epic grudge match for the ages while a fleet of hapless dummies got caught in the middle of all the mayhem.

Now, the film very clearly positions Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger) as the lesser of two evils, given that he's effectively manipulated into killing by Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), who regains his strength from the communal fear caused by Jason's latest killing spree.

But most importantly, this movie has a goddamn epic body count, and Jason commits the vast majority of it at Freddy's behest, before they eventually face off in a ludicrously entertaining - if predictable inconclusive - final clash.

Fans wanted this movie to happen for more than 15 years, and while it's certainly no classic, it absolutely achieved what it set out to: inject a gonzo serial killer showdown into more typical slasher flick carnage.
