Freddy Kruger & Jason Voorhees Get Bizarre Lisa Frank Makeovers

A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger and Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees receive cute Lisa Frank-style makeovers in new fan art. The two slasher icons famously faced off against one another in the 2003 crossover film Freddy vs. Jason. By retconning Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th into one shared universe, the film pits the titular antagonists against each other after Freddy manipulates Jason to come back to life and attack the residents of Springwood, in order to facilitate his own return.

Freddy vs. Jason served as the culmination of decades worth of slasher films, as it was the final installment in each franchise before their respective reboots. Friday the 13th was rebooted by director Marcus Nispel in 2009, followed by director Samuel Bayer's reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street in 2010. Since then, there hasn't been an entry into either film series, as the Friday the 13th franchise has been mired in legal battles for the past decade, while the failure of 2010's Nightmare on Elm Street has rendered any attempt at rebooting the franchise again a non-starter. Even without any new movies in a decade, Freddy and Jason remain beloved in the collective horror consciousness.

Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees have received cute Lisa Frank-style makeovers courtesy of artist Laura Freeman (who goes by @nasubionnas on Twitter). In one design, Freddy can be seen riding a unicorn and in another, the hockey-masked killer is depicted riding a dolphin while wielding a bloody knife, both in the whimsical style of Lisa Frank. It is always enjoyable to see talented artists reimagine famous characters in a variety of different art styles. However, it certainly takes a unique and creative mind to conceptualize these two iconic slasher characters in the colorful and whimsical style of Lisa Frank. First popularized during the 1980s, Frank is known for producing commercial designs for school supplies and other products, which were primarily marketed to children, so this art certainly creates an unexpected crossover.

Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th-inspired designs are fun to look at, suffice to say they likely wouldn't have made it onto a backpack or lunchbox back in the days of the films' original release. However, there is some shared retro appeal given that the Lisa Frank brand and the two iconic slasher franchises were both at the height of their popularity during the 1980s and into the 1990s. Ultimately, it is an unexpected mash-up that works rather seamlessly.

The Return of the Weird Blockbuster

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness raises the question: Is Sam Raimi the best director to ever be attached to a Marvel movie? He doesn’t have an Oscar like Chloé Zhao or Taika Waititi, the sorts of filmmakers who, if nothing else, win Oscars (their movies really make you think). He doesn’t typically do prestige, and he avoids serious subject matter. But Raimi is also a singularly kinetic visual storyteller—a true showman—and, in his way, a transformational figure in the recent history of American cinema. When Raimi directed the first (and arguably best) Spider-Man in 2002, comic-book properties were a volatile prospect, if not an all-out gamble. The Joel Schumacher Batman movies were a pop-culture punch line, and R-rated Bayhem was all the rage. That Spider-Man surpassed even the most optimistic box-office expectations is only part of the story, however. The fact that a major studio would entrust such a valuable title to a guy like Raimi—whose most famous movie to that point f

Batman Beyond Settles Tony Stark vs Bruce Wayne

Since both characters are billionaires without inherent superpowers who use their wealth to develop a method to fight evil in their respective worlds, the debate over who is better between Batman and Iron Man has raged for decades—but an issue of Batman Beyond proves that Iron Man is superior. Tony Stark first became Iron Man after he was captured as a prisoner of war and developed a suit that could keep him alive following a nearly fatal injury. Since then, he continuously created better versions of his original design until he was successful in developing an entire army of his suits that he can control remotely in what's known as the Iron Legion. Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, refined his body and mind rather than just his suit upon his entrance into the superhero world. Bruce trained with the greatest masters of basically every kind of martial art to make himself the pinnacle of what human beings are capable of. However, in the neo-tech future of Batman Beyond, Bruce is a lot o

Release and Streaming Play Set Firm Day Theatrical to Italy

A move that will transform Italy’s relationship with Netflix, the Italian government has set a firm three-month time window between a movie’s theatrical release and when it can drop on a streaming platform. The announcement was made by Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini during a Rome confab on the state of the country’s film industry held by the country’s motion picture association ANICA. The minister said he has signed a law that will extend the existing 90-day theatrical window for Italian films that had benefitted from government subsidies to now include all films, regardless of where they are produced or how they are financed. Due to its having a more flexible windowing policy than France, Italy in recent years has been an interesting testing ground for the theatrical releases of Netflix titles, largely because the Venice Film Festival is a frequent launching pad for the platform’s original films. Here I will inform you of the films that have just been released and can be
