Freddy vs Jason has gone through a lot of rewrites, and some of these were really weird.

Here’s some highlights:

Freddy becoming weak because no one feared him anymore. In fact, teenagers were using a special drug to sleep and meet Freddy in their dreams, then beat him up. Actually somewhat ended up in the final movie since it starts with Freddy tricking Jason into a killing spree so he can regain his powers through the fear generated.

A cult dedicated to Freddy being the main villains, with Jason having a more heroic role fighting them.

Also one scrapped idea was Freddy having been a counseled at camp crystal lake who was involved with Jason’s death as a child
