25 WTF Moments From The Nightmare On Elm Street Films

3. Jason's Fear Of Water - Freddy Vs. Jason

When Jason Voorhees finally faced off against Freddy Krueger in this monster movie match-up it was a dream come true for many and a nightmare for some. The film indeed opens itself up to plenty of legitimate criticism but the biggest WTF moment comes when it€™s revealed that Jason is deathly afraid of water. Never mind all of Jason€™s prior traipses into Crystal Lake, FVJ stages an 11th hour retcon in a desperate attempt to make the character more €œsympathetic.€ Though, to be fair, in the film, during Jason€™s nightmare in the dream world, Freddy was deep inside Jason€™s subconscious, and that€™s the only place where Jason actually seems to have a fear of water. But still, come on, that's no excuse for this tomfoolery.
