Monica Keena found it "cathartic" killing Freddy Krueger in Freddy vs. Jason because she'd been so "traumatised" by him as a child.
The 47-year-old actress played teenager Lori Campbell in the 2003 film, which saw her alter ego finally take out Robert Englund's iconic villain for good with the help of Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger), and she was particularly overjoyed by the scene because she had been so deeply affected by 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street, it "ruined" her childhood.
