Alright - tommorw is August the 15th, which means a ten year wait will finally be over. New Line will release \'Freddy vs Jason\' to a lot of eager horror fans. So, who is goin\' to see it? And who do you think will win? Or better yet - is this even a good idea to mix the two characters?

Personally, I will go see it tommorw, as I\'m a fan of both the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th series (more so with Elm Street). New Line has been extremely hush-hush on the ending, down to editing the last bit of the film for screeners, so that it can\'t be leaked who wins / doesn\'t win / etc. My opinion is neither of them will win. New Line can\'t exactly make a winner out of a child molestor / murderer (Freddy) and Jason\'s character is simply to brutal . The only way they could make Jason the winner is by making him a more sympathetic character and doin\' so would really hurt the franchise, so I doubt that happens also. Then there is also rumors of another guest star appearing (New Line does own the rights to Leatherface / Chucky). I doubt that happens also.

Oh and the offical web-site is.

(Duh!)

They have some pretty decent wallpapers and the trailer for download.

Sorry man, I can\'t agree. To put it tactfully, I\'m not planning to see it, and I\'m not looking forward to it. Even I, a fan of horror cinema, draw the line at these two woeful franchises because they have been lousy for such a very, very long time.

The whole idea behind the Nightmare on Elm Street pictures was idiotic from the start. I remember enjoying the first film because of a certain style it had, but Robert Englund\'s dopey over-the-top acting soured that series very quickly. The last one was made 9 years ago, right? Well at least they had the sense to retire that character for a while. Unfortunately we\'ve been cursed with an unending flow of Friday the 13th pictures. The first 2 or 3 of these are enjoyable in a campy way, but seriously, enough is enough.

Compare these two awful series with another one that DIDN\'T go bad. Remember Halloween H20? A 1998 installment of an ancient horror series that was ACTUALLY GOOD. Not just passable, but GOOD. If you like this genre, then please please seen some newer original movies like Wrong Turn or House of 1000 Corpses. I\'m even looking forward to Jeepers Creepers 2 much more than any Freddy or Jason picture.

THey should have done this 15 years ago. I wouldn\'t watch this crap if you paid me. If it\'s any good feel free to tell us, but I can\'t imagine it being.

I know you did not list House of 1,000 Corpses as a decent horror flick. It was a over-extended , poorly done music video - in my opinion.

As for Nightmare on Elm Street. The first one was great, the third was good and \'New Nightmare\' was damn impressive in every way.

Friday the 13th has suffered from day one . It\'s a mindless slasher flick - tho Jason X did good with what they had.

P.S - My favorite horror series is Halloween. I remember H20 , see\'ing it twice at the cinema...Too bad Resurrection was complete crap.

Can\'t say I\'m looking forward to this one. But if it ever gets over here I\'ll watch it.

But I\'m looking forward to Undead... here\'s hoping that I\'ll get a chance to watch it.

\'Undead\' looks very stylish in an Evil Dead / Versus / cheese-ball way.

L-I-C: Did you see Wrong Turn? If not, you missed the BEST Hillbilly Cannibal film of the last several years. Very worthwhile.

I have not seen \'Wrong Turn\', though I hear it is great.

I did not care for \'House of 1,000 Corpses\' though. I thought Zombie tried to hard to make it a 70\'ish flick and in the end failed. Not to mention it also seemed like a long music video, with the constant out of place music, flashes and negative images. To his credit though, the DVD has to have the most incredible menu system. They actually went , got the actors back together and recorded new scene\'s..etc. Pretty cool.

While we are on the subject, am I the only one disgusted with all the hype that \'The Ring\' got and all the praise? It was a terrible film. Now on the other hand, \'Ringu\' was terrific.

I got ten dollahs on Freddy to win.

Yup, I was a bit disappointed with The Ring, after having seen the original.

Im gonna see it for sure- not opening day though. But my ears will be closed to who wins and who doesnt- SO PUT THE ****ING SPOILERS ON THERE!

well they were both heros in a way in all of their movies...

BTW: Jason will own freddy- ****ing own him

I saw \'The Ring\' before I ever saw \'Ringu\' and ya\' know what? I hated \'The Ring\' when I first saw it. I thought it was borin\'. Then I got on the internet and read about how much was changed, so I decided to check out \'Ringu\'..I picked it up, along with \'Ring0\', \'Ring2\' and \'Rasen\'... \'Ringu\' was great, \'Ring2\' was okay and I\'ve yet to watch the other two.

Well, I don\'t think either one wins as there are already talks about a sequel. Rumor even has it that Ash from Evil Dead would appear in the next movie.

I do plan on seeing this movie, but none of my friends do so I might not see it until video release:(

My thoughts are that neither one can win...Jason is pure evil and has come back from the dead several times. How do you kill pure evil?

Freddy exist only in the imagination...I\'m guessing in Jason\'s imagination since they fight, so how would they kill him off?

BTW: House of a 1000 corpses is awful. My favorite horror series has to be Halloween, even though it did get a little too ridiculous as the series went on. H20 was bad ass, they should have stopped there...

Freddy can be killed. But only in reality. In nightmare movies, he gets killed in the dream, besides freddys dead. Jason just doesn\'t seem to die full stop. So it\'s kinda a stalemate really. I\'ll see it purely for a pop corn flick with some mates.

I think I will wait for Freddy vs Jason vs Michael Myers.
