One year later Freddy vs. Jason was finally released. Living out his killings in Hell, Jason "wakes up" in order to kill the children on Elm Street for his mother. In actuality, Jason is being manipulated by Freddy Krueger to spread fear so that he can regain his powers, lost due to a fullscale-coverup that the parents of Elm Street orchestrated to ensure that Freddy was forgotten. But Jason will not stop killing Freddy's "children," and the two finally battle one another, ending the film with a fairly ambiguous image. jason owns freddy at the end
