However, while Jason succeeds in causing enough fear for Freddy to haunt the town again, he continues to intrude on Freddy’s territory and steal his potential victims. This ultimately sends the two monsters into a violent conflict. This was also Robert Englund ‘s final appearance as Freddy Krueger, having portrayed him in all seven previous Nightmare films.
Chronologicall! y, the film is set after the events of Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday , but before Jason X , which was released first because Freddy vs. Jason was stuck in development hell at the time.

He convinces Jason to rise again and go to Springwood to slaughter the teens; though Jason will kill the teenagers, Freddy will be blamed, and thus be able to escape from Hell.
