The Kill Count is a video series where James A. Janisse tallies up the victims in popular horror movies. In this special edition, he re-releases his count of the 2003 movie Freddy vs. Jason, a crossover film between the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th franchises. James provides a detailed and humorous analysis of the movie, discussing the kills, the plot, and the characters. He ultimately counts 23 deaths, with Jason responsible for 19 and Freddy for 3, and Lori killing Freddy in the end. James also discusses the movie's flaws, such as the poor character development and the use of CGI effects. The video ends with James awarding the "Golden Chainsaw" for the coolest kill and the "Dull Machete" for the lamest kill, and thanking his patrons and fans for their support.
