Man vs. Society
Cultural shifts forced Freddie to temporarily ally with Jason in order to maintain his power base.
I disagreed with you initially, but if we look at Freddy as the main character, this works.
The story is Freddy-centric, Freddy basically contracts Jason, as society has found a workaround preventing Freddy from doing his things.
The plan with Jason backfires, much like your classic golem or Frankenstein type situation of raising the dead and losing control. But it's Freddy's issue with society meeting him down that initiated that secondary conflict.
Though part of the story is from the kid's POV, much is still Freddy, much more so than Jason, and they could have told the whole story from Freddy's POV and it'd be the exact same thing.
I like this take. Nice job!
