FRIDAY THE 13TH VS. HALLOWEEN VS. NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: A TRIPLE FRANCHISE COMPARISION (ROUND 5)

A candy bar acts as the deus ex machina for instigating an impressive body count at the hands of fake-Jason 'Roy' in the sleazy Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning. The fanbase wasn't sufficiently impressed enough to turn it into box-office gold, thereby persuading Paramount to resurrect old maggot face himself for Part VI. 


Back in Haddonfield Michael is given yet another godawful mask (if I were William Shatner I'd have been seriously insulted by now). At least Mikey gets to wield a pitchfork and briefly play the grim reaper with a scythe in a barn before finding himself behind bars (briefly...)

An ill-conceived (in every sense of the word) fifth instalment for Elm Street's dream demon delivers a mutant baby Freddy and an underwhelming bodycount (even in the uncut version) in the weakest entry in the franchise.

Running scores after 5 rounds:  
Friday the 13th 11
Nightmare on Elm Street 10
Halloween 9
