In the lapse between 2003, when "Freddy vs. Jason" was released and summer 2007, there were several working ideas that were being thought of being used for the next "Friday the 13th" film. These include;
"Friday the 13th: The Homecoming" - While past survivor Chris Higgins attempts to forget her dreadful memories by returning to Crystal Lake with her teenage children and doctor, the hockey masked-killer from her past - Jason Voorhees - suddenly returns as well with a vengeance to slice through the high school's homecoming dance (being held at Camp Crystal Lake), as a man claiming to be his father holds the secrets to where he has been and how he was created.

"Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash" - Set to be the sequel to "Freddy vs. Jason" where the two iconic killers from the first film would be pitted against Ash from the "The Evil Dead" series. As Freddy plans to use the Book of the Dead to carry out his deadliest scheme yet - and possibly re-enter the 'real world' as a demonic force - Ash must battle him, while also saving kids in a cabin from the deadly wrath of Jason. The script was quickly dropped when Sam Raimi, creator and rights holder of Ash and "The Evil Dead" series, refused to participate with the idea and when Robert Englund announced he would no longer be playing Freddy Krueger. Ironically, "Friday the 13th", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", and "The Evil Dead" are all in the process of being remade.
"Jason vs. Leatherface" - machete slicing Jason battles the chainsaw-weilding Leatherface" as well as his family when the skin-mask wearing freak sets his bloodthirsty sights on a group of teens that the hockey masked maniac has been chasing down all the way from Crystal Lake. But soon, the teens discover themselves in the middle of a battle of an icon vs. an icon - of chainsaw versus machete!
"Friday the 13th: Bloodbath" - A prison bus passing through the abandoned town of Crystal Lake gets into a car accident with two college girls hoping to document footage on the famous Crysta Lake killer, Jason. Now with no means of transportation for escape, the girls find themselves being hunted by not only the prisoners, but by the famed hockey-masked killer himself! They must rely on a young, handsome prisoner attempting to redeem himself in order to survive. The death penalty has never been so terrifying!
""Friday the 13th": The Beginning" - Tagging off the success of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" as well as some of the "Halloween" remake, this was going to show the events of Jason's life from his childhood up until the very beginning of "Friday the 13th Part 2". The idea was also going to explain Jason's supernatural tendencies. This story line was dropped due to the poor fan reaction from other prequels that 'attempted to explain too much.'
"Jason X2" - An obvious sequel to "Jason X", this was going to have Jason still in the year 2525 on Earth 2. The story would pick up directly after its predecessor, and Jason would have landed in the area that used to be Crystal Lake. Not much else is known about this script, except that it would have 'Uber-Jason' killing teens of the future.
"Friday the 13th:Jason Takes Los Angeles" - While being transported along a helicopter ride to a research facility in Los Angeles, a frozen Jason is resurrected by an electrical current and after slaughtering most of the helicopter crew the helicopter crashes before he can kill the one final young research intern, Ted. As Ted makes his way out of the mountains of the desert and into the city, he is followed by Jason, who leaves a trail of bloodshed and murders behind Ted. With the crooked police on his tail, a gang war heating up in his path, and a ring of adult filmmakers wanting him dead, Ted turns to a naive social worker to help save him from it all!
"Friday the 13th: The Revenge of Tommy Jarvis" - After his sister is brutally murdered by a machete wielding maniac, Tommy Jarvis goes on a hunt for his greatest enemy - Jason. As his wife Megan falls into great danger when he attempts to find the man who scarred his childhood, Tommy must face his fears, wise up, and think of way to protect those he loves while burying evil once and for all - as well as his deepest rooted fears!
"Friday the 13th: Return to Crystal Lake" - Jason has not been in Crystal Lake in years. His name is a legend of sorts, and the town has grown comfortable with its surroundings. But suddenly Jason reappears, ready to wreak havoc. After trapping a biker gang passing through, the hockey masked maniac quickly gets up to his old habits and does what he is known for in Crystal Lake - killing!
"Friday the 13th Part XII" - The idea was to have a new "Friday the 13th" movie that would be a sequel but would also not acknowledge the events of any film from "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan" all the way through "Freddy vs. Jason" (this also excludes "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday" and "Jason X"). The idea was to take Jason, put him back in Crystal Lake, have him chase teens, and give the series that nostalgic 80's feeling of the original seven movies. Many aspects of this script made it into the final version of the 2009 "Friday the 13th", but unlike the 2009 film this was to act as a sequel and not a reboot of the entire series.
