Plot

Freddy Krueger is stuck in Hell. He is only able to get out of Hell as long as one remembers him or his horror.

In the disguise of Jason's mother (the one person to whom Jason will listen), Freddy convinces Jason to kill teenagers living on Elm Street to make the residents of Springwood, Ohio think that Freddy is back.

Jason commits a few murders, which are blamed on Freddy. A group of youths, including Lori Campbell, her boyfriend Will Rollins, Kia, Charlie Linderman and a sheriff's deputy later discover that Freddy did not commit the murders. However, by the time they realize this, the population's fear has made Freddy strong enough to come back from Hell.

Since Jason has done the unexpected, Freddy wants him to stop. However, Jason does not listen and continues to kill. Angered, Freddy brings him to the Dream World where Jason, realizing he's been tricked, fights Freddy, only to lose due to his fear of water from his drowning as a child.

Jason and Freddy soon begin a final battle at Crystal Lake. The film ends with Jason impaling Freddy with his own severed hand. Lori then decapitates Freddy, and both Freddy and Jason fall into the lake, disappearing beneath the surface. Jason walks out of Crystal Lake holding Freddy's decapitated head, which winks to the audience, leaving the outcome of the battle ambiguous.
