5. Freddy vs Jason vs Ash
For the most part big screen showdowns between horror icons have fallen short of expectation.-But that doesnt mean we dont get our hopes up when news breaks of another blockbuster smack down. As was the case when rumors first surfaced of a potential triple threat match between Freddy Krueger , Jason Voorhees and Ashley J. Williams. It took years, and many re-writes before Freddy and Jason finally squared off on the silver screen. The results of which were to put it lightly a big stinking let down. However there seemed to be a silver lining, someone had the brilliant idea to pair the two slasher legends back up, but this time with one of cult horrors greatest heroes. Freddy, VS. Jason, VS Ash, the thought alone was enough to get fan boy juices flowing, but the film failed to materialize. Reportedly because Sam Raimi wasnt all that keen on the idea, but anyone who has seen Spider-Man 3 knows Sam Raimi doesnt always make the best decisions. The three icons did eventually go toe to toe in the form of a comic book mini-series. Where Freddy slips into Jasons dreams attempting to use the hockey mask wearing maniac to steal the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (loosely translated, the Book of the Dead) And only Ash can save the day. The comic was a fun little ride, but it wasnt the same. There is nothing in this world that could recapture the magic that would have been Ash and Freddy battling it out, chainsaw VS claw on the big screen.
