: The plan backfires when Jason refuses to stop killing, effectively "stealing" Freddy’s potential victims. This leads to a power struggle between the dream demon and the unstoppable machine. Script Origins :

: Freddy Krueger, trapped in Hell and forgotten by the children of Springwood, resurrects Jason Voorhees to incite a killing spree. His goal is to make the town remember his name so he can regain his powers.

: An early, ambitious script set the battle in Hell and included a plot involving Satan (named "Thanos" in that version).
