Robert Englund Returns as Freddy Krueger


on Double-Disc Platinum Series™ DVD & VHS


Debuting January 13 from New Line Home Entertainment

LOS ANGELES, CA (October 27, 2003) – The battle of the millennium is here. Freddy Vs. Jason -- the number one box-office opening weekend ever for a horror film -- slashes its way onto New Line Home Entertainment’s double-disc Platinum Series™ DVD and VHS beginning Tuesday, January 13, 2004. Freddy Vs. Jason will be priced to own at $29.95 on DVD and $22.99 on VHS.


Earning more than $36 million the opening weekend, and more than $80 million at the domestic box-office, Freddy Vs. Jason satisfied fans who have been anticipating this fight ever since the meeting of the titans of terror was hinted at in Jason Goes to Hell (1993). Both horror moguls have been terrifying millions of movie and home entertainment audiences over the years with the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise grossing a total of $362 million and Friday The 13th franchise gross totaling $440 million.

Robert Englund reprises his role as the famous dream stalker, Freddy Krueger, who joins forces with fellow horror maven, Jason Voorhees, to create a new reign of terror on Elm Street, but the collaboration soon turns into a nightmarish face-off between the two. Ronny Yu (Bride of Chucky) directs this long-awaited battle and Freddy Vs. Jason also stars Monica Keena (Orange County), Kelly Rowland (Grammy-winning music group Destiny’s Child), Jason Ritter (Swimfan, TV Series “Joan of Arcadia”), Christopher George Marquette (The Tic Code) and Lochlyn Munro (Scary Movie, A Guy Thing).
