Why start with the two favorites instead of building up to the big fight by starting with smaller fights? Think of these fights as finding worthy contenders to fight for the slasher title.įollow this line of thinking, why would the fight start off with someone who fights in the dream world (Freddy) versus someone from the real world (Jason)? The slashers need to be able to fight within the same realm or have the same skill set or a similar body type. Pitting the two heavyweights together right off the bat really left no meat on the bone. It can be argued that right out the gate the creators of the versus matches screwed up. This left many fans needing to create their own fan films (See the “Freddy vs Jason – Condemned” Fan Film below) and dream match ups to satiate their hunger for more boogeyman battles. The fans wanted to know who was the best slasher/killer.

The first versus movie left horror fans with more questions than answers. Finally, they come out with a female ghost fight.Īfter this, fans were thinking, “What the hell?” Why did the creators wait three years to put together a rematch of the aliens…and wait another eleven years to have two ghosts fight? Fans wanted to know what happened to the head to head fights. Secondly, there were two alien fights between Predators and the alien creatures. To recap, first we had a slasher fight with Freddy vs. Not between two slashers, but again between Predator and the aliens in AVPR: Aliens vs Predator-Requiem.įollowing an eleven year lay-off, the horror versus fighting returned in 2016 with Sadako vs. The year 2005 came and went, as did 2006, but in 2007 another fight had been scheduled. Fans dealt with it because they thought in 2005 there would be another versus fight. The selection for the second fight left fans feeling confused because many expected it to be another slasher fight. Again, it was a see-saw battle until the end where it looked like Predator had won, but then the aliens pulled out the upset. The answer came one year later with the intergalactic fight of Alien vs. It did, however, leave fans wondering, what’s next? Jason fight gave fans what they wanted by allowing two of the baddest killers on the planet the opportunity to go head to head. In the end Jason appears to win the fight, but Freddy will not be denied and comes back for the win. The movie did a great job of having the battle go back and forth. Each battled over the souls of victims while also engaging one another in combat. The match was on the same playing field as Hulk Hogan vs. It was really the heavyweight title match of slashers. The first official modern day horror battle occurred in 2003. This gave horror fans lots of great new characters - and an increased to desire to see these modern day baddies face off against one another. With these movies came new villains like Leatherface, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Chucky, Leprechaun, and Ghostface. Later the seventies and eighties hit, and with them brought about a new type of horror movie known as the slasher. These urges to see our horror heavyweights duke it out were met early on with fights between the Universal monsters, as well as Godzilla vs. Horror fans have always enjoyed not only watching their favorite villains stalking future victims, but also watching them fight one another.
