This year Universal licensed three of the
most horrific movie icons Hollywood has ever
seen - Freddy Krueger from the "A Nightmare
on Elm Street" franchise, Leatherface from
the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" re-make and
prequel, and Jason Voorhees from the "Friday
the 13th" films. To add to the mix, Jack the
Clown was brought in as a "ringleader" to
offer these three "sideshows" up for
viewings in his "Carnival of Carnage."

Freddy Krueger
is the main fictional character from
the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" film
series. Created by Wes Craven and
portrayed by actor Robert Englund in
every film of the series, he is an
undead serial killer who can attack
his victims supernaturally from within
their own dreams when they are in a
state of sleep. Freddy is commonly
identified by his burnt disfigured
face, red and green striped sweater,
brown fedora hat, and trademark
metal-clawed leather glove. |

| Jason Voorhees is a
fictional character from the
"Friday the 13th" series of
slasher films. He first appeared
in Friday the 13th (1980) as Mrs.
Voorhees' child, portrayed by Ari
Lehman. Created in combination by
Victor Miller, Ron Kurz, Sean S.
Cunningham, and Tom Savini, he was
never intended to carry the series
as the main villain. Jason
Voorhees has also been represented
in numerous novels, comic books,
and a cross-over film with another
horror legend, Freddy Krueger. |

Leatherface
is a fictional character in the
Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.
One of the first slasher film
villains, he has appeared in all
six of the series’ films since the
release of the original film in
1974. The character wears masks
made of human skin, a practice
which led to his name, and is a
cannibal. |
