This is the sixth video in my Freddy vs Jason vs Ash and the main finale. Thank you for sticking around for the journey, I have one bonus video left in the series which I'd be releasing next week.


Freddy vs Jason vs Ash is both a comicbook and a failed film. The comic Freddy vs Jason vs Ash was a comicbook by written as a sequel to the 2003 film Freddy vs Jason. It saw the return of the infamous slasher villains Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees, and had them face off not only against each other but also Ash Williams, the hero of the Evil Dead franchise.

In the story, following the final fight in Freddy vs Jason, Freddy Kruger has been physically killed, but his spirit lives on. Freddy appears to his killer Jason Voorhees in a vision and manipulates him into travelling to the Voorhees family home where Jason's mother Pamela kept her copy of the evil spellbook know as the Necromonicron Ex Mortis.

Ash Williams, a supermarket worker and the slayer of demonic zombie, has arrived at Crystal Lake to help train the employees of the new S-Mart supermarket. A victim of the dark magic of the Necromonicron, Ash is also seeking the evil book which leads him directly into conflict with Jason.


Ash battles Jason a number of times and also faces off against Freddy who uses his magical powers to invade Ash's dreams. But ultimately Ash is unable to prevent Jason from taking the Necromincron.

Freddy is then able to use the book to resurrect himself and grant himself magical power which enable him to manipulate reality like he can manipulate dreams. As part of a bargain with Jason, Freddy also uses the Necromonicron to enhance his fellow slasher's intelligence. Unfortunately this backfires as Jason decides he's enough following Freddy's orders and he attacks Freddy.

It is then up to Ash and his fellow S-Mart workers to stop both slasher before they tear Crystal Lake apart.


New Line Cinemas got interested in adapting the comic as a film. Or at least adapting the concept, and got into talks with Evil director Sam Raimi with making a Freddy vs Jason vs Ash film.

The project fell apart for a number of reasons. First Sam Raimi left the project planning on making a Evil Dead remake instead. Then there apparently creative differences between Sam Raimi, actor actor Bruce Campbell (Ash Williams), and New Line Cinemas concerning the portrayal of Ash with New Line Cinemas wanting to Freddy or Jason to kill off Ash.

Also, while I've never hear this directly connected to the project itself, around the same time actor Robert Englund was expressing a reluctance to return to the roll of Freddy Kruger, claiming to be too old to play the villain.
