Freddy vs. Jason (2003)**.

***
Cross promotion horror movies don't usually work.
By 2003, producer Sean S. Cunningham, and director Ronny Yu, "Bride of Chucky", 1998, attempt to create a fusion between two horror franchises: "Friday the 13th", and "A nightmare on Elm Street", which links Cunningham with Wes Craven again, but for different reasons. The movie stars Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, and Ken Kirzinger as "Jason Voorhees", replacing Kane Hodder. It also stars musician Kelly Rowland as Kia Waterson; Jason Ritter, as Will Rollins; and other actors. In the '00's, horror movies became self-referential thanks to Kevin Williamson in the 1990's onwards, that bordered on the comedic, and annoying. "Freddy vs. Jason", is such a movie. It would be another six years before the re-make of the original film was released in 2009.
