Freddy VS Jason VS Ash VS Sylar Director's Commentary

In 2005, rumors were confirmed of a Freddy VS Jason VS Ash movie in talk. Fans went nuts and

literally almost broke the internet in half. Everyone online posted rumors, fanfiction, fan scripts,

ideas, and speculation on how good this movie could be. Then New Line Cinema crushed the dream. But had the movie been made, everyone who made it would criticize what they call the mad and macabre crap they thought would be a result if the film was made. We will never forget

you, Freddy VS Jason VS Ash.

Close to 2 years later, Wildstorm and Dynamite contacted the films original treatment writer, Jeff

Katz, and transformed the dream into a 6-part comic book series. Fans once again went crazy and

the comic became a hit. But at the end of the last issue, a problem still remained. One that had crushed the idea of the treatment becoming a film before. The two icons of the silver screen's fate was still undecided as our favorite chinned hero walks away without knowing.

WELCOME TO FREDDY VS JASON VS ASH VS SYLAR: DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY!

In this chapter, I, BrenRome, the author of the tale you have just read will now discuss how this little project came to be.

Part 1: A journey's end is really the beginning

First off, let me say that I am a HUGE fan of all these franchises. I have seen every episode of

HEROES so far along with the Big 3's films as well. So when I read Freddy VS Jason VS Ash and I saw the ending, my reaction was the same as it was when I watched the end of Freddy VS Jason. I had to know what happened next. I thought: What if in that last scene in the issue with the book (Spoiler. Sorry!), that's saying there's going to be another baddie? I looked at the letter's page in the issue and noticed an ad for the HEROES Volume 1online graphic novel trade paperback. Then it hit me. In order for the fight to finish, who else would be better to pit against them then Sylar? Think about it: Like Freddy or Jason, he can't die, but we CAN see him get killed. Plus, his eyebrows are as big as Bruce Campbell's Chin! So that got me my idea.

Part 2: Setting the story up

When I sat down to write this, there were some things I had to address that could be a problem.

Remember, this was after Season 2, so I wanted to find a way to incorporate Sylar in there, but at the same time, I wanted to see some of the others like Claire and Noah. Another problem was that this had to be set AFTER Freddy VS Jason VS Ash which had me thinking for a while. Finally, I chose the decision to set this one year after Freddy VS Jason VS Ash and one week after the HEROES season 1 finale. If you haven's seen it (Spoilers ahead again), I'll recap: Sylar tries to blow up New York which will lead to events that eventually make him president. Luckily,

the other Heroes stop him and Sylar is ultimately stabbed through the chest. At the end however, his body is gone.

When I saw him again in Season 2, I, as you may know, learned that he was stitched up from that

four months after the battle and had waken up after those months. It makes you wonder: What happened to him in those four months? That's where I plotted the idea. During this story it would be Sylar's soul that was destroyed and thus, released his spirit again in the ending. That way, in Season 2, he could wake up on the lounge chair and it would all fit.

And what better way to bring his soul back then through the Necronomicon? The prologue in this

story with Sylar narrating about the Necronomicon is our own opening scene which is supposed to take place during the first chapter. That way, if this were a movie, it would open the same way

FVJ and FVJVA did as well.

Next came deciding where the Necronomicon would be. I liked the Sylar-trying-to-kill-Claire-and-Noah parts in HEROES, so it would make sense that I decided to place it under Claire's old house in Odessa Texas. So by then, Claire would have been one day away from leaving for Costa Verde, California.

The first chapter took some time to get. Obviously, crossing three big horror characters from movies with one big villain from a T.V show is no easy job. I came up with the idea of opening

in the same manner FVJVA did with the death of Will and Lori. Caroline had asked Ash at the end of FVJVA if Freddy and Jason were really gone for good, so it would make sense for her to

come back one year latter to make sure of that. And obviously get killed.

When Ash was brought into Odessa, Texas originally, in my first draft of the story, I had the idea

of making him one of the teachers at Henderson High School. But around that time, my school

store had opened and I got the idea of having S-Mart merge with Henderson High School's school store to teach kids about jobs. That way, they could send a special somebody down there.

My favorite part of the whole story is the Ash VS Sylar fight. Originally, before Sylar makes his

appearance, I planned to have Freddy confront Claire in a dream world version of Hermit Trailer Park. The home of Claire's original Bio-Mother, Meredith Gordon. Freddy was originally going

to terrorize her with dead versions of Meredith and the other people living there before Ash showed up and Sylar interfered. Plus, the line about Sylar's eyebrows is my favorite line in this

whole story.

The ending you have read to this story is much different from how it was originally meant to be.

I had to change it 5 times before I got the one you have read now. Originally, I never planned in either of my drafts to bring Henry the Red and King Arthur into the fray until very recently. In the end, right before the fight, Freddy was turned into the human Freddy Kruger he once was by Sylar and killed during the fight in the destroyed New York City. Ash, Jason and Sylar would have the fight with just them the way you have witnessed here minus Freddy. Sylar was originally sucked into the portal in the first draft, but we got to see where the deadite dimension is. It was intended to be like the original ending to Army of Darkness where Ash over-sleeps and wakes up in a post-apocalyptic England. There, the setting was the same but filled with all the deadites from the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness series who were sick, deranged and had succeeded in swallowing Sylar's soul.

Originally, in the epilogue, Evil Ash was to appear and yell: "We've won! Victory is ours!" as they approached the man's soul in the form of once when he was known as Gabriel Gray ready to swallow his soul, only to have him disappear.

But for the most part, what you got is what you get so be happy with it.

Part 3 Acknowledgments:

Finally, I want to thank the creative minds of Wes Craven, Victor Miller, Sam Raimi, Tim Kring,

the acting talents of Bruce Campbell, Robert Eugland and Zachary Quinto as well as the entire

cast and crew of Evil Dead 1&2, Army of Darkness, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and HEROES whom I could not have done this without them inventing it. Once again, I don't own these characters, HEROES belong to NBC/Universal, Evil Dead/Army of Darkness belongs to MGA and Freddy and Jason New Line Cinema. I one day hope to become a comic writer or a script writer for movies and take you dear readers on a actual visual thrill ride through the story you have just read.

Lastly, I want to thank you writers and readers for taking your time to read this story. This is one

I've had in mind since I read FVJVA and to write this for you is a dream come true. Once again I

hope to one day bring this story to life the same way Dynamite and Wildstorm did. Remember:

Don't let anyone stop you from trying to make this reality. You don't need anyone but yourself to

make your dreams come true. I learned that from my family and friends who I also acknowledge.

Without them, I would have never made it this far to treat you to this story.

Finally, just remember: evil never dies. And there's a question mark on the end there. Or is it?

Groovy, Baby!
