JASON VS. LEATHERFACE (2005)
A really badly done, cheap, fan-made short, shot by and starring someone named Matt Spease. This thing makes FREDDY Vs. JASON look like a masterpiece in comparision. I guess this is actually supposed to be some kind of unofficial sequel to FREDDY VS. JASON because we get Freddy's severed head telling Jason to go to Texas and hang out with Leatherface. I'm not sure why anything happens though since the dialogue is drowned out by background noise that sounds like they shot the whole thing in the middle of a rush hour traffic jam. Leatherface, for some reason, has hair down to his ass and he and Jason both look way to unimposing to be very menacing. In addition to Jason, Leatherface and Freddy's head you also get Michael Meyers putting in a cameo. While I can appreciate fans attempting to do something like this I can't imagine this would appeal to anyone besides maybe some younger slasher movie fans and/or fans of those comic books where they have two big slasher icons meeting up like this. There are at least three other fan shorts with this same title and probably more than that. I never realized the prospect of seeing a zombie fight a cannibal was so thrilling to people. I think from now on I'll stick with Three Stooges shorts.
Surprisingly, this 2010 version looks like they actually had some kind of budget and production values:

Yes it does look flashy! And no I agree, I can't see it appealing to many. For their own amusement? Hell, I might even make one!
