One notorious figure pitted against another is nothing new. "Freddy vs. Jason" and "Alien vs. Predator" are examples of this. But this time, the monsters are real and they live in a wilderness that most humans are too scared to visit.

According to Rue Morgue, the Lake Placid crocodile is going to square off with the Anaconda on Aug. 4 in the movie that is officially titled "Lake Placid vs. Anaconda." The film will pit the two monstrous real-life reptiles against each other in another "winner eats the girl" type of film.

The franchises, although they did achieve a slight cult-following, achieved less than memorable status on the horror lists. But that does not mean seeing a matchup between the two will not be a big draw.

The film is premised on an experiment to cross-breed the two reptiles that goes horribly wrong. Naturally, that means that a small-town sheriff has to take the two monsters out before they can gobble up the whole town. But that just might prove to be a more daunting task than he could imagine.

There is also a famous face in this new feature. Fans of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise will be pleased to hear the original Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund, will play a role in the film.

According to Dread Central, the official synopsis for the film reads as:

"Anacondas large enough to crush an SUV. Crocodiles strong enough to leap onto speedboats. When they're not hunting for human prey, they're more than willing to take on each other. Get ready for a non-stop bloodbath unlike anything you've seen before in this heart-pounding battle between mutated crocodiles and genetically engineered anacondas. Packed with hot sorority girls, big guns, and jaws massive enough to swallow a human in one bite, this is one screaming good time!"
