4. Freeburg - Freddy Vs. Jason

Getting wasted when one of horror's most infamous killers is around is a ridiculously stupid idea. But to get your buzz on when two of horror's most infamous killers are on the loose? Yeah, that's asking to be brutalised.

In Freddy vs. Jason, Jason Mewes-lite Freeburg (Kyle Labine) takes any chance that he can to drag back on some weed. And for Freeburg, this vice ultimately ends up being his gruesome downfall.

Due to his stoner ways, boneheaded Freeburg becomes possessed by Freddy after passing out. While this is never a good thing, it's even worse for Freeburg when his possessed form winds up confronting Jason Voorhees.

Never one to p*ss around with pleasantries, Camp Crystal Lake's favourite son slices Freeburg in half with his trusted machete shortly after Freddy vs. Jason hits the one-hour mark.

While Freeburg could have been scratched off as just another generic dead body of Ronny Yu's 2003 picture, his demise actually has a significant part to play in the final act of the film. That's due to how the Krueger-possessed Freeburg sticks Jason with a hefty tranquilizer that puts Voorhees to sleep, which allows for our central protagonists to take the sleeping Jason back to Camp Crystal Lake for one final showdown with Freddy.
