The Nightmare Ends on Halloween is another Blinkey Productions fan film which is set immediately after Freddy's defeat at the hands of Jason Voorhees in Freddy vs. Jason.
Freddy is now in limbo between his dream world, and hell. He meets Michael Myers, whose mind also spends its time in limbo while he is catatonic between Halloween's. Freddy tries to convince Michael to do his bidding for him in the real world. Michael refuses and turns on Freddy. They fight it out briefly before they are interrupted by Pinhead (of the Hellraiser films) who has recruited Jason and Leatherface as minions to come retrieve Freddy and bring him to hell where he belongs.
The entire film runs just over 8 minutes and is well made. Freddy's make up looks good, as do the other characters. The guy playing Freddy is a bit of an over-actor, and the battle between him and Michael is much too short and not too eventful. It's a shame this wasn't extrapolated into a longer film which could delve further into everything. On the other hand, considering how bad Freddy vs. Jason was, maybe it isn't.
