Who dreamed this up? Sad thing is, it'll probably make $100 million :)

I started laughing my ass off as soon as this trailer came on and by the time it was over everyone in the theater was laughing too.

"Who dreamed this up?"

I have always joked with friends that a great movie would be one where Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers had it out.

Either had to fight each other, or out slaughter each other.

I always thought it would be a laugh riot gore-fest flick.

y tinfoil hat is not working.

You know, the old Friday the 13th's and Nightmare on Elm Streets were cool because they were suspense films - the ones that made you double-check that there was nothing in your closet or under your bed before you went to sleep. Now they're just making gore/action flicks and have forgotten how to make good scary movies. It's no longer "make you afraid of the dark," it's "how many times can we justify making a building explode?" Other than jerk reactions (loud noises after a really quiet scene), I haven't been truly scared by a movie in a really long time.

Friday the 13th was never really that scary for me. The original Halloween was a good scary flick. The scariest one I've seen lately would probably have to be Signs... but the ending of that movie kind of ruined the overall effect.

I watched <em>The Ring</em> a few months ago and it scared the crap out of me. Of course it doesn't help that I was home alone at the time...so then I watched it again with my boyfriend two weeks later hoping it would desensitize me, but no, no, again I was freaked out for days.

I don't really remember the Freddy and Jason movies too well. I vaguely remember them being scary but I was a kid at the time so a lot of things were scary. But that trailer was just silly.

there's no way it can be any worse than Jason X....

"Friday the 13th was never really that scary for me"

What are you talking about.

The Kevin Bacon scene where he gets the arrowhead shoved up through the cot, through his neck...

I checked under my bed for years after that.

Yeah, but it's cheap scares. Give me something with some suspense beforehand and you get a much better scare :)

>>I watched The Ring a few months ago and it scared the crap out of me.<<

Check out Ringu if you get the chance --that's the original Japanese movie upon The Ring is based.

The movie is somewhat similar, but different enought for you to enjoy it on its own merits -- unless you have a problem with subtitled films.

Watch, they'll come out with a Freddy vs. Jason game. Too bad Aliens vs. Predator couldn't have became a movie :p

I always said that if you can scare me in the daytime, you got a good scare. Any idiot can jump out of the shadows of a dark alley screaming like a moron.

That being said, in the Sixth Sense, the little dead girl grabbing the AI kid from under the bed made me jump - I even knew it was coming (who didn't?), but it still got me. That was a good scene.

So so true... I hate the movies where they make a loud sound after a relative quiet... it startles you, but you aren't scared.

I'm all about scarey movies where it scares the @#%$ out of you with out ever seeing the monster. Those take a bit more talent to pull off than the rip limbs and heads off of people kinds of movies.

bambi was one scary ass movie. :)

It would take a showing of "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" to have me run screaming out of the room.

LOL.. the yaya sisterhood was such a stupid movie. I watched it and all I could think of was that their family was so !@# normal... and if they want to see disfunctional, come meet my family!

Actually, if you want a scarier character then both Freddy and Jason... Come meet my mother-n-law.... eeehhhh.... AHHHHH

this aint gonna make a dime. So sad, but I was actually suprized they did not think of it sooner.

I pity the fool that brings a date to this movie unless she asks to go and is a big horror flick buff.

hehe, very true.

Blair Witch scared me so bad it made me irritable, lol. I don't know exactly why, maybe it shook my sense of security.

I am certain you could not have dragged me camping for several weeks after seeing that, if not longer. That's good horror.

Freddy would so own Jason. A Rasputin-like constitution is no match for the ability to bend reality, sheesh.
