"Welcome To My Nightmare!"


Years after being sent to hell, Fred Krueger has tried every method of getting back to Elm Street. However, the Elm Street folks have managed to avoid Freddy's wrath by giving their kids dream-suppressing drugs to keep Freddy out of their dreams.

Now, at wit's end, Freddy uses trickery to enlist the help of fellow hell-mate Jason Voorhees to get around all that, and get back to killing again, so that he may once again strike fear into the hearts of the Elm Street children.

Freddy, posing as Jason's mother, sends Jason to Elm Street to start killing off the "bad" kids. Meanwhile, in Springwood, 18-year-old Lori Campbell and her friends Kia and Gibb hope for a quiet night at her house on 1428 Elm Street, the very house Krueger terrorized for years.

However, the drinking and smoking start, and Gibb's boyfriend Trey and his best friend Blake show up. Trey and Gibb go upstairs and have sex, while Blake fails miserably in hitting on Lori, who hates him. Kia thinks Lori should go for it, and that her first love four years ago, Will Rollins, is long gone without even trying to keep in touch. Lori, however, relents, saying that she needs to be there for her Dad since her mother died and left them alone.

Upstairs, after having sex, Gibb goes to take a shower, and Trey pops open a cold beer-- and is macheted to death on the bed by Jason, who folds him up backwards with the bed and breaks his neck and back. Gibb finds a pool of blood and finds Trey folded up-- and everyone freaks out. Deputy Scott Stubbs just happened to be driving down the neighborhood, and is there to call for backup.

The police chief is determined to keep the murder details hushed, and when one deputy mentions the name of Freddy Krueger, he flips out and threatens to have him locked up in Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital. Lori, meanwhile, heard the name Freddy Krueger, and dreams of him when she passes out at the station. Scared, her dad picks her up and they go home.

Blake and the others return home as well. Blake also heard the name Freddy, and is hell-bent on avenging his best friend Trey. He falls asleep, only to be confronted by Krueger, who isn't quite strong enough yet to make the kill. When Blake wakes up, he finds his father beheaded sitting next to him on the porch, and then he too is dispatched by the mighty blade of Jason's machete.

Just outside of town at the Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital, Will Rollins and his roommate Mark Davis see the murder report on the TV news, and Will, concerned for Lori, begs to hear the details. When the guards refuse, he and Mark are escorted back to their room. Later that night, Mark, whose brother committed suicide, throws a tantrum, only to get shot up with tranquilizer. Will, curious what's going on with Mark, wonders why he did that. Then Mark shows him the administrator's keys and they escape, headed for Springwood.

The next day, Lori's dad is insistent on her drinking a drugged-up glass of orange juice, but she refuses and heads off to school. At school, Kia and Gibb tell her about Blake and his dad, and say that the cops blame it all on Blake, ala Columbine. All three of them know that's not the case, and confused, they head to class.

In between classes, Will and Mark arrive, and while Lori describes a "terribly burned man with razor fingers," Mark frightens her by telling her the truth about Freddy. Will intervenes, and Lori faints when she sees him. The police arrive, forcing Will and Mark to flee. Lori is taken to the nurse's office, where she dreams of Freddy. Kia, waiting for her, also dreams of Freddy. Krueger is rapidly regaining his strength.

Mark and Will head to the Springwood Library and find all things related to Krueger missing or blotched out with black ink in the record books. Mark then starts to realize that maybe he's not crazy, and maybe his brother hadn't committed suicide after all. Maybe it was Krueger. As strange as it all sounds to them, Mark thinks that the town wiped Krueger from memory so he couldn't get to anybody anymore. He fears that maybe by telling them about Freddy, he started to spread the fear again, and as a result, trigger the return of Freddy. Realizing he might be right, Will is set on keeping Lori safe at all costs. Mark lends him his brother's van, and Will drives off.

That night, a major party is held at a nearby corn field. There is plenty of drinking, dancing, and mingling going on, and Lori, Kia and Gibb decide to go to try to get away from all their problems. Will shows up and starts to explain where he'd been for the last four years, when Jason shows up and starts hacking everyone to pieces. Those who were fortunate enough fled, including Lori, Will, Kia, their stoner friend Freeburg, and their geek friend Linderman. Gibb was not so lucky, however, as Jason impaled her with a pipe while she laid passed out on the ground. This infuriates Freddy, who was one step away from notching his first kill in the dream world.

Will drives everyone home, and he reveals to Lori his deadly secret-- he saw her father kill her mother, and that's why he was locked up in Westin Hills. Just then, Lori's father steps in, and tries to get Will locked up again. Will fights him off, and Lori runs into her house, with her father not far behind. She demands an explanation about her mother's death because her father always told her she died in a car accident. When Dr. Campbell hesitates, Lori climbs out her window and runs back out into the rainy night-- and right back to Will.

They rush to get back to Mark, who they figure can explain the Krueger cover-up and just who that hockey masked maniac was at the rave.

But they get back to Mark too late. He fell asleep at his house, and in the dream world, Freddy claws and burns Mark to death, sending a message that "Freddy's Back!"

Fearing their next step could be their last, Will and Lori round up their remaining group of friends and try to put the pieces together. Deputy Stubbs shows up and informs them that the hockey masked killer is Jason Voorhees, and tells them the entire Voorhees legend. Will then figures out that Freddy is using Jason to gain strength so that he can take over Elm Street again. While they are trying to figure it all out, Lori falls asleep, and Freddy attacks her, resulting in Lori ripping his ear off. When she wakes up, the horror is revealed to her, as she was still holding Freddy's ear. The pieces of the puzzle begin to come together after that, as Will realizes that all the patients at Westin Hills were taking Hypnocil to stop their dreams. No dreams, No Krueger. No Krueger, No Fear. No Fear, No Death. It all seemed so simple now. All they had to do was go back to Westin Hills and round up all the Hypnocil they could, and that would stop Freddy. Then they could worry about Jason.

So they sneak back into Westin Hills and begin searching for the Hypnocil. But Jason is hot on their trail, crushing the security guard beneath a steel door. Freeburg, meanwhile, gets so high that he passes out, and Freddy takes over his body. Then Freddy, in the form of Freeburg, finds the Hypnocil and dumps it all down the drain. The others try to stop him, but it's too late. All the Hypnocil is gone, and Jason has killed Deputy Stubbs. With Jason right behind them, they flee for their lives-- all except Freeburg, who rounded up enough tranquilizer to knock out a 500 pound water buffalo. As Jason approaches what he thinks is just another teenager, Freeburg sticks Jason with all the tranquilizer, but not before Jason machetes him in half at the waist. Jason then collapses as the tranquilizer kicks in, sending Jason into Freddy's realm-- the dream world.

The remaining members of the group- Will, Lori, Kia, and Linderman, take Jason's body and decide to make the long drive to Crystal Lake. There, Lori has a plan. She will fall asleep and grab ahold of Freddy and then when she wakes up, Freddy will be in the real world, on Jason's turf. Then they can escape and let Freddy and Jason kill each other. The others relent, but agree, and Lori enters Jason's dream world, where Freddy is torturing him. Freddy uses Jason's subconscious fear of water to his advantage, weakening Jason to a point never before seen.

Jason re-lives all his worst nightmares, especially the one of him drowning in 1957. Lori tries to help him in the dream, but Freddy emerges in the lake and pulls Jason under. However, in the real world, the tranquilizer wears off just outside of Camp Crystal Lake, and Jason wakes up, foiling Freddy's plan. Freddy, still in the dream world, blames Lori, and brutally attacks her. Jason then goes back to doing what he does best-- stalking teens at HIS camp. Will desperately tries to wake up Lori as Linderman and Kia hold off Jason in a nearby cabin.

Back in the dream world, Lori is shocked to discover that it was Freddy, not her father, who murdered her mother. But in Freddy's domain, she is no match for the Springwood Slasher, who gets dangerously close to notching up another victim...

When the cabin at Crystal Lake is set ablaze, and Jason moves in for the final kills. Jason backhands Kia against a wall, and impales Linderman on a wall bracket. Will frantically tries to wake up Lori, who accidentally gets her arm caught in the flames. Lori instinctively grabs ahold of Freddy, and as she wakes up inside the cabin, Freddy is now there with her.

Jason, realizing just what Freddy has done to him, turns his attention away from the kids and toward Freddy. The four kids escape as Freddy and Jason battle it out in the ultimate battle of evil vs. evil. Linderman dies from loss of blood from the wall bracket, Will and Lori run to the lake for shelter, and Kia gets caught between the dueling maniacs, and gets macheted to a tree for her trouble.

Freddy and Jason then square off in the biggest battle of the century. Could Will and Lori escape and put their lives back together? Would Jason have his revenge on Freddy for torturing him in the dream world? Or would Freddy become the master of reality as well as dreams?

Who would win this clash of the horror titans?
