Ash vs. Freddy vs. Jason

Robert Tapert has stated that New Line had said they wanted to do a film combining the three horror icons "We thought about it for one second, but we knew we would have totally trashed the franchise in doing that, in that there would be no reason to reunite Bruce and  Sam for  Evil Dead 4, whatever that would be nor would there be any reason to go back and reinvent the original  Evil Dead with a hot new filmmaker".

A comic book series was produced based on this concept titled Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash.
