Horror showdown for Freddy and Jason

Two of the most enduring horror film characters of recent years, Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare On Elm Street series and Jason from Friday The 13th, will be teaming up in a new film, Freddy vs Jason.

The two are appearing in the same film because New Line Cinema, which has made all eight Nightmare On Elm Street films, bought the rights to Jason from Paramount, which produced the 11 Friday The 13th films.
