I just finished watching Freddy Vs. Jason. Pretty fun movie, especially since I've been a Nightmare on Elm Street fan from way back when I'd have to sneak over to my friends' house and watch them on sleepovers.

It made me think though. These days we don't really have any big horror movie icons anymore. Sure, there's the 'Scream' mask guy, and the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers is pretty cool, but they don't have the cool personality and motivations that Freddy & Jason have. Just makes you think.

I'm glad they did FvsJ as a 'serious' horror film (though with funny bits) rather than a tongue-in-cheek horror movie like Scream and most other recent horror movies. They did a pretty decent job.
