The next day, Crystal Lake is completely dry, and Lori is reunited with her father. Freddy tries to swim away, but Jason puts a death lock on his ankle, and they're both dragged down. Within the water, there is a hole that has opened at the bottom of the lake bed, glowing red. The water begins to move, churning, and the lake begins to drain. After the explosion, they end up in the fiery lake, and then something strange starts to happen.
This was cut, due to miserable test scores, in which the audience thought the acting was terrible, and asked, "Does this mean Freddy won? Where's Jason? Is this a dream? Is Will turning evil and is now some sort of Son-of-Freddy?" Another ending that was considered had Freddy and Jason battling to the death on the dock. However, Will starts acting like a maniac and eventually sprouts a Freddy Krueger claw, then proceeds to slash at his girlfriend. Several endings were considered for the film: Originally shot, was a scene in which Lori and Will begin to have sex for the first time. To do this effect, they had a rope tied under water that I held onto with my left hand (with Freddy's severed head in it also), and I held myself down on the ground so I could pull myself and walk forward."
He wanted it to look like I could walk through the water without it making me rise to the surface. Also, Ronny Yu wanted me to walk like I was walking on land. Being with all this extra weight, one eye covered, a machete in one hand, Freddy's head in another hand, and being totally submerged in water, made that scene very difficult. They realized that when I got wet, I looked too skinny in the clothes, so they had to bulk me up with pads and extra clothing so it would look like I was still big. The water sequence took a lot of preparation. Also, Ken is older than me and he was a lot more established in the business than I was at the time." Describing the scene, Tait said "I was on the film for a couple days. There was no way they were going to pay for my flight and hotel stay when Ken was a local. When they took the film to Canada, I was out of luck. Originally I was being considered for playing the role of Jason in the entire film. You can see it in the deleted scenes, that is why they decided to reshoot the ending.
The test audiences were confused about the original ending, they thought Jason Ritter's character was becoming Jason. He stated, "Unfortunately for me, it was the only scene I was hired to do. In an interview, Douglas Tait explained the reason for the reshoot.
