 Another ending that was considered had Freddy and Jason battling    to the death on the dock. After the explosion, they end up in the    fiery lake, and then something strange starts to happen. The water    begins to move, churning... and the lake begins to drain. Within    the water, there is a hole that has opened at the bottom of the    lake bed, glowing red. Freddy tries to swim away, but Jason puts a    death lock on his ankle, and theyre both dragged down. The next    day, Crystal Lake is completely dry. And Lori is reunited with her    father. Then they walk down into the dry lake. Dr. Campbell sees    Freddys claw on the ground and he picks it up, vowing to destroy    it for good. Then a red and green striped arm bursts through the    earth, grabs Dr. Campbells leg and pulls him down. With one leg    buried in the ground, he screams for Lori, but is yanked again,    his other leg breaking against his chest at an impossible angle.    Then hes gone. Lori claws at the dirt for him, screaming, and    then there is a scene that takes place somewhere very dark. Freddy    puts his claw back on his hand. He sees Jason near him, machete    gleaming. They go at each other...but then, chains shoot out,    slicing into both of them. Theyre separated, struggling to go at    each other...when out from the darkness comes Pinhead and he says    "Now, what seems to be the problem?" However, New Line didnt like    the idea because they didnt like the fact that theyd have to buy    the rights to use the character, and they thought Pinhead was too    low rent.
