FRIDAY THE 13TH VS. HALLOWEEN VS. NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: A TRIPLE FRANCHISE COMPARISION (ROUND 4)

After the Michael Myers-less Halloween III, the blinded in both eyes and burnt to a crisp Shape returns sporting a truly awful flattened approximation of the original mask to terrorise young Danielle Harris, whilst Donald Pleasence (also demonstrating remarkable resistance to fire) continues to pursue his nemesis all over Haddonfield. 

Freddy's skeletal remains reassemble themselves after a shot of blazing dog piss in Rennie Harlin's visually impressive Elm Street entry.  

Meanwhile, over at Crystal Lake, a nightmare confrontation between a noticeably shorter but more nimble Jason Voorhees and a shaven-headed future member of The Goonies results in a fatal (at least marketed as such) machete head slicing for Ted White's hockey-masked slaughterer. Make-up gore guru Tom Savini returns and reunites with The Prowler director Joseph Zito to up the inventive kills.  

Running scores after 4 rounds:  
Nightmare on Elm Street 9
Friday the 13th 8
