There are numerous reasons why the Friday the 13th franchise is best than the Nightmare on Elm Street films. Not only is Jason Voorhees scarier than Freddy Kreuger but Jason is more unstoppable and the Friday the 13th iconic music trumps the "one...two...Freddy's coming for you" chant.
For those who do not know, Friday the 13th is a nightmare movie franchise that focuses on the slasher Jason Voorhees. The basic story is that he drowned at Camp Crystal Lake as a boy and returned years later as an undead killer to punish camp counselors.

Freddy Kreuger is the central character of the Nightmare on Elm Street series. Krueger exists in the "dream world" and haunts people, mostly teenagers, in their nightmares. Anything he does to teens in their dreams positively happens to them in life.

Freddy vs. Jason (New Line Platinum Series) Specifications
After 11 years in development hell and screenplay drafts by 13 different writers, the long-awaited smackdown of Freddy vs. Jason finally arrives. After making their respective debuts in Friday the 13th (1980) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger, replacing long-time Jason performer Kane Hodder) and razor-gloved Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) square off in a slasher-franchise combo-deal that only their most devoted fans will appreciate; turns out this is a lightweight match in which nobody wins. It's an average entry in the histories of these horror icons, comparable to half of their previous sequels, and Bride of Chucky director Ronny Yu satisfies purists with plenty of gushing blood and mayhem when Freddy recruits Jason to slice 'n' dice the ill-fated teens who've forgotten Freddy's once-formidable reign of terror. While it logically connects the gruesome legacies of Nightmare's Elm Street and Friday's Camp Crystal Lake, this horror hybrid is shockingly uninspired. It briefly peaks when Freddy gives the unconscious Jason a dream-world pummeling, but their ultimate showdown's a draw. In the immortal words of Peggy Lee, is that all there is? --Jeff Shannon

One presuppose the Friday the 13th series is a best series and Jason a best character is that Jason is much scarier. You do not know what lurks behind Jason's hockey mask. Sure, you see his face sometimes (usually at the end of the movies) yet you do not see his expression when he is coming for you. Is he grinning? Is he somber? With Freddy, what you see is what you get, burned face and all. Jason follows the idea that the unknown is much scarier than the known horror. Also, in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, the protagonists are routinely beating Freddy by realizing they can take control of their dreams. There is no such leave from Jason. If Jason is stomping straight through the forest after you, he keeps coming until you stop him or you are dead.
Along with Jason being scarier, he is harder to stop. Again, people routinely stop Freddy by just willing him away or willing themselves to be stronger than Freddy in their dreams. You can not wish away Jason. He keeps coming. There have even been times Jason suddenly went from pursuing a camper to appearing in front of the camper. Who knew teleportation was in his bag of trick!? Also, Jason has been buried, sunk and blown up. He keeps coming. He plainly possesses a new body or reanimates his old one. While Freddy exists in the realm of fantasy, Jason straddles the line between reality and fantasy. He is supernatural (at least prior to the Friday the 13th remake) yet he is also similar to many real-life serial killers-the real demons in the world.
Finally, I suggest Jason beats Freddy because of the iconic music from The Friday the 13th franchise. Every person knows the excellent "ki, ki, ki, ma, ma, ma." This was initially created with the words "kill" and "mom" in mind. Anything who has seen the first Friday the 13th movie knows where the composer came up with the words "kill" and "mom." While the "one...two...Freddy's coming for you" jingle is memorable, it is not as ominous as the Friday the 13th music. Finally, I believe the disco-like music that opened Friday the 13th: Part Iii is about the catchiest music around. Jive on, Jason!
So, Jason is scarier, can't be stopped, and he knows how to get down. No other proof needed-Jason beats Freddy. Friday the 13th beats Nightmare on Elm Street.
