terror Jason my special special boy do
you know what your gift is no matter
what they do to you you cannot die you
can never die
round one backstory and motivation
Freddy Krueger’s backstory is a bit of a
doozy the child of a nun who was
accidentally locked inside an asylum for
the criminally insane the son of a
hundred maniacs grew up to become a
sadistic serial killer who preyed on the
children of Springwood the girl was
Amend
Krueger her child Freddy
the bastard son of a hundred maybe after
getting off the hook on a technicality
Krueger was hunted down by a mob of
angry parents and burned alive on the
brink of death Freddie made a deal with
demonic entities who allowed him to
return as a terrifying boogeyman in
nightmares
Freddie began using his newfound powers
to take revenge on the children of his
killers reveling in his love of carnage
and terror gasoline jason voorhees
backstory is a shade more tragic born
deformed young Jason was cared for by
his mother Pamela Voorhees the cook at
the idyllic Camp Crystal Lake watched
every minute he was he wasn’t a very
good swimmer
he drowned however or at least seemed to
have drowned when neglectful teenage
counselors abandoned their babysitting
duties to have sex enraged pamela killed
the counselors and anyone else who came
to the camp until a would-be victim
fought back
with his dear old mama beheaded jason
reemerged still alive to take revenge
eventually donning a hockey mask he went
on a killing spree before taking a
machete to the face years later a bolt
of lightning to the heart resurrected
[Music]
this first round is a close one but
Freddie’s epic origin story wins out by
a hair
we Stan say no to an origin that messed
up winner Freddy you want to know the
secret of pain if you just stop feeling
it you can start using it
when in the realm of dreams Freddy’s
powers are basically whatever his
twisted mind can come up with he can
shape-shift change the environment is
impervious to physical harm and can
as with any nightmare there’s no telling
what he’ll do next
worst of all what he does to his victims
in the dream world becomes real in the
waking world he’s also able to
manipulate objects in the real world and
even take over human victims to act as
vessels for his twisted will while he
can be dragged into the real world where
his powers are much more limited he can
still put up a fight outside of his home
while his opponent is all about cruelty
and trickery our boy Jason is brute
strength and determination personified
resourceful with Titanic strength and
the ability to shrug off damage that
would leave most people 6 feet under
he’s basically unstoppable this became
doubly true after his resurrection which
turned his rotting body into a virtual
undead tank he’s strong enough to knock
the heads off his victims shoulders with
one swing of his meaty fists and sturdy
enough to survive just about anything
even if you can destroy his body his
displaced soul can possess others
ensuring that not even death can stop
him
while we can’t help but be impressed
with Jason’s relentless determination
blood-soaked though it may be the sheer
variety of tools at Freddie’s disposal
when he’s in the dream world makes him a
shoo-in for round 2
he’s like Bugs Bunny only more murdery
round three weapons though Freddy has
sometimes spiced it up his most faithful
weapon is without a doubt his iconic
a sturdy looking leather gauntlet with
razor-sharp metal claws affixed to the
fingertips this fearsome fashion
accessory has helped Freddie dispatch
countless victims in a variety of
it can make precise exacting cuts or be
plunged into a victim’s body for a quick
messy finish just like Freddie himself
it’s versatile sinister and oh so creepy
[Music]
thanks to his ability to manipulate
nightmares and good old-fashioned
practice it’s a weapon that seldom fails
to hit its target while Jason definitely
has an iconic weapon of his own he mixes
things up a bit more than his
Jason has dispatched unwitting victims
with ice picks claw hammers Spears and
of course his bare hands but at the end
of the day his truest weapon is a simple
machete the brutal and effective blade
is sturdy and sharp enough to cut right
through his victims especially when
propelled by his superhuman strength
he’s used it to remove limbs and heads
to say nothing of numerous stabbings and
palings it’s simple reliable and always
gets the job done just like Jason
himself sounds like a match made in hell
you want your machete back take it
freddy’s glove may give us the
heebie-jeebies but we’re actually gonna
give this round to jason for his
willingness to experiment with other
weapons coupled with the sheer brutality
of his primary weapon after all
sometimes the simplest tools are the
most effective winner Jason round four
kills given his power set Freddie’s
history is a veritable smorgasbord of
creative kills to the point that if we
listed all the best ones we’d be here
Fredi is a bonafide artist when it comes
to dispatching his victims and even the
worst Elm Street movies can boast some
great death scenes some of our favorites
include the time he turned a babyface
Johnny Depp into a blood geyser in the
first film or the time he turned a guy
into a marionette using his own tendons
as strings
ouch
[Music]
or how about the time he took over a
motorcycle and forced its components
into the body of its rider we could go
on and on but Jason is no slouch either
without any fancy dream powers he’s
managed some of the most brutal kills in
slasher movie history
[Music]
putting aside the litany of
decapitations and dismemberments that
the blade of his deadly machete he’s
impaled his victims on Spears to create
human shish kabobs and crushed more than
a few skulls with his bare hands he’s
bent a victim in half in some seriously
extreme chiropractics and who could
forget the time Jason forced a woman’s
head into a tub of liquid nitrogen
freezing its solid and smashing it on a
nearby table now that’s just awesome and
terrible but also awesome Freddie may
have variety on his side but here’s out
here Jason super zombie or not it’s
ultimately just a really strong dude
with a machete and whatever else he can
find anyone can deliver top-notch kills
when you have absolute control over your
reality but with just a can-do attitude
and brute force Jason has delivered
terrific kills no that’s commitment
[Music]
round five scares since first appearing
on screen in 1984 Freddy Krueger has
become an icon of horror both magnetic
and creepy captivating and terrifying he
is a cinematic boogeyman in the truest
sense of the word while he became less
creepy and more comedic as time went on
his early appearances still sends
[Applause]
even when he’s lurking off-screen his
presence as a looming unseen evil helped
put his franchise on the map and then
there are the more direct scares like
his glove rising from the heroines
bathwater or his face and body emerging
as a shape above her bed him we haven’t
Jason meanwhile is a bit more direct he
doesn’t have Freddie’s flair for the
theatrical preferring to pop up behind
his victims to dispatch them before they
even know what’s what that on its own is
pretty scary but there’s also the fact
that Jason is virtually unstoppable when
he sets his sights on a target if Jason
decides he wants to paint his machete
with your blood it doesn’t matter how
fast or how far you run he’s gonna get
we don’t know about you but the idea of
being pursued at a slow but steady pace
by a silent brutal murderer that won’t
quit sets us properly on edge in the end
though this one has to go to Freddie
Jason’s relentless pursuit is definitely
freaky but knowing that Freddie can pop
up at any time in any form well that’s a
nightmare fuel to say the least this
final round and the title go to mr.
Kruger whose versatility charisma and
sheer creepiness give him an edge over
the competition winner Freddie do you
