It is really slapstick and over the top, not suitable for an R-rated horror film which is supposed to be aimed at adults. But as a graphic novel I probably would have enjoyed it far more I think FVJ would have worked better as a comic too.

I loved it, just wish I hadn't read the novel before the movie came out. The movie went by so fast for me after doing that. I wonder what FvsJ would have been like if it had been made in the 80s? You know, during the height of these movies. Probably would have been even better! The Special effects wouldn't be all CG, not that that is always a bad thing, I just prefer good ol' fashioned gory effects! I (as well as many others) just waited for that match up for sooooooooo long and was beside myself when the release date came out. Could it have been better? Absolutely. IMO though it was better than most of the rejected scripts and hope for a sequel someday! Not a FvsJ huh? I loved it, just wish I hadn’t read the novel before the movie came out.

Anyone read that series? Not too bad and I was really against the idea of throwing Ash into the mix w/ Freddy and Jason because I didn't see how it would work. It never crossed my mind that the Necronomicon would be the key to bringing Ash into it (the dumbass that i am!). I don't want to ruin it for anyone so I can't really explain too much more. Very clever storyline! Highly recommend it! The FvsJvsAsh comic would make a cool flic IMO. Anyone read that series?

I'd make changes to things like Friday The 13th only being a movie and all that stuff... but the idea for Jason in a courtroom having his victim list read out would be funny. I'm sure they could come up with a new idea on how to get Jason to that situation without claiming they where just movies after part 4. The end scenes in the mall I think would look great if they do decent FX with it. However, if I knew anything about making movies, i wouldn't mind making that script into a movie, even if it was about someone other then Freddy & Jason. Is it really that bad of a script to everyone else? If it was like I said, re-written round the part about it being legends and movies, would it be so bad then? Or is it the whole Jason becomes a good guy that people hate the idea of? I dunno, personally I think it could have worked as a movie.

I was really against the Evil Dead movies coming into play with the F13th & NOES stories. But I enjoyed reading that and I beleive now it could work. Only thing I would change is where Jason kills his mother, he should cut her head off, as a homage to the original Friday The 13th. And the name of Crystal Lake to Forest Green.... that would mean Crystal Lake changed it's name to Forest Green, then back to Crystal Lake, then back to Forest Green.... change that and you got a pretty good movie I think... it just needs to be drawn out longer with more scenes other then it seeming like it all happens within 2 hours of each other.

Of all of them, I'd say the Briggs script was the best, but even it had some problems. But like I said, I think with some tweaking it could have been good. My big thing with FvJ is that it should have been epic, the "Gone with the Wind" of slasher movies, you know? But instead, all we got was a watered down 90 minute movie. I think it should have been at least 2 solid hours. Sure, play the 90 minute version in theatres, but give us a longer cut on DVD (like they did with Rob Zombie's Halloween). I think the whole thing was a missed opportunity. Yes, I enjoyed the FvJ that we got, but it could have and should have been better, especially since the movie ended up being the final film in the original Jason and Freddy series.

I think some involved weird cults that worshipped either Freddy or Jason - I forget which - but obviously the writer has never seen Halloween 6. Bad idea! But, having said that, FVJ could have been so much more... I know what you mean Penhall, FVJ was pretty lame but there were so many pitches for the movie that were just way off.

I had read it a long time ago, but damn! I forgot how bad it was! The Freddy vs Jason we ended up with was flawed, but it could have been so much worse.

Now I have not read all the scripts posted here in this entry, but the plot (that's all they give you on imdb)for the rejected script for F13th: Homecoming is pretty cool. Too bad it was rejected due to legal rights. Some of the other ones were interesting, while others just plain sucked.

If they gave him free reign over a new movie I'm sure he could deliver!
