Might have been discussed before but I think its so awesome that these franchises are all connected and share the same fictional universe and this was way before freddy vs jason.
The graphic novels followed up on these connections in Freddy vs jason vs Ash and although it was never really answered I believe that voorhees himself was a deadite.

Funny enough, there’s a theory that the 09’ reboot of Friday The 13th is connected to the Michael Bay Transformers universe, as they share an actor and Bay produced the Friday reboot lol

I haven’t heard that one. What actor is it? Do they belive its the same character?
Obviously this shared universe came to a head in 2003s Freddy vs Jason (screenshot first pic) which imo was a lot better than Freddys revenge and Freddys dead. They took krueger back to a more classic look of parts 3 and 4 and Jason was a pure tank in this movie.
Its just a shame there were no evil dead references within it.
The graphic novels (2 parts) focussed on events after the movie and the character Ash trying to prevent krueger using the kandarian text to ressurect pure evil on earth. Below are a few screenshots from the books.
Such a shame New Line and campbell couldn’t agree on making the crossover movie happen but at least we have the crystal lake show to look forward to.
The actor is Travis Van Winkle, he plays a guy named Trent in BOTH the movies. That’s probably why they draw that conclusion lol

The childs play franchise also seems to be part of this shared universe.
The evidence room in bride of chucky shows references to halloween, friday 13th, tcm and noes.
Chucky also makes a loose reference to pinhead when looking at one of his victims.
