Slasherverse - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

Basically you saved yourself from including another series. Haha

Well, the Bates Motel is in California. Unless Ash made his way to California from this scene, but it says Baltimore. Also, Michigan to California takes two days by train so it still doesn't match the timeline.

The Stabe Motel doesn't really make sense.

Look at the board at the back of panel 2, by the way.
Haddonfield, IL (Halloween)
Forrest Green, NJ (Friday the 13th?)
Round Rock, TX (Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
Baltimore, MD (Silence of The Lambs)
Chicago (Child's Play?)

Funny you say that about Psycho and Halloween's Sam Loomis being the same character, since I've seen some fanfics do just that. Case in point, the Earth-27 project (which initially started as a DC fan-project, but has since grown to include numerous non-DC franchises like the Powerpuff Girls, Sense8, Supernatural, Witchblade/The Darkness and of course, a host of Horror characters, to name but a few):
https://earth-27.fandom.com/wiki/Sam_Loomis

Let's just contemplate this fanfic/fan theory stuff for hypotheticals. It's fun.


Age 39


Age 41


Age 56

So, that's a lot of change in 2 years. He was in a relationship with Jennifer Hill from around 1964-1971 (https://halloweenmovie.fandom.com/wiki/Jennifer_Hill).

So, I guess Mary Loomis was conceived in the 1961-1963 gap with Lila Crane before Sam started a proper relationship with her after Hill's death. So, in 1971-1978, Loomis marries Lila and they raise Mary together. In 1978, Loomis sacrifices himself to kill Michael. While both survive, Loomis is presumed dead "by natural causes" by 1983 (Psycho II). Mary's interest in psychology comes from her father.

Now that's convoluted. A fun experiment though.

Think you made a mistake here

I wonder if the fourth wall breaking out-of-universe scenes in Chucky take place in the Wes Craven's New Nightmares universe. That film would probably take place in 2002 on this timeline though, based on the Entity escaping the fictive world after Freddy's Dead (1994 in it's "real world" reality however - no one really brings up that Freddy made a cameo in JGTH one year prior for some reason, lol).

 

[Pro Bot]

Jason was healed from his deformities in FvJvA: TNW, so I guess that could explain why "killer" looks like a relatively normal guy in Tales From Camp Blood and Jason isn't as much of a zombie in Jason X (well, he is but he looks a bit nicer). The comic does kinda **** up the whole 2008 thing, but they try and connect with Jason X so that's an A for effort.

 

[Pro Bot]

There's no date in Shocker that I recall, but the blu-ray gives this date. I guess I can use that.

 

[Pro Bot]

I guess Mike Norris survived being shot in the Child's Play comics, since he's potentially alive during Curse of Chucky. Certainly one of the least egregious continuity errors in my opinion.

Chucky Vol. 2 #1 appears to be lost media, sadly...

 

[Pro Bot]

Chucky 1x08, "An Affair to Dismember" (0:52:18 - 0:54:08) ["Real World"]

So... not sure what to say about those segments. Part of the same fictive layer as Wes Craven's New Nightmare I guess.

Damn... Never expected a Child's Play comic to become lost media.

It was gonna be the start of a new storyline but the run was cancelled after the first issue. I saw the comic being sold online for a ton of money.

Wait for It (Leslie Vernon sequel) has only been shown at select film festivals. It's somewhat aggravating because I'd love to see it, but until it becomes widely available... can't really include it.

This fan film was made by people who went on to work on the Hellraiser films. It was an extra on Hellraiser: Deader. It was also covered in the official non-fiction book "The Hellraiser Films And Their Legacy".

Canon? If so, it's kinda weird that humanity was wiped out after building off-world colonies and such in Jason X.

As for the Hellraiser comics, well... the Boom! Studios comics share continuity with the Epic Comics run, which had a contradictory origin for the Lament Configuration. I believe the first three films are canonical in that timeline though.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Not sure if this and its prequel/sequels can fit into the Slasherverse's timeline, but the Womp Stomp fan-films are pretty good.

 

[Pro Bot]

They are. I probably prefer it to most Friday the 13th official movies.

But no. Not only are they an alternate sequel to Jason Takes Manhattan, but Rick Cologne is still alive. In canon, he was killed by Horace Pinker in Shocker.

Also, if you haven't, you should check out the "It's Me, Billy" fan film continuation of Black Christmas. That was pretty good.

Darn. Well, that's a bummer. Divergent timeline, perhaps?

 

[Pro Bot]

I think it's like Halloween H20 and 2018. The same onscreen events happened identically, but everything before, during and after are different.

 

[Pro Bot]

Dylan's New Nightmare was pretty good too.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Just listened to Tommy Tapes 6 to 8 from the Friday the 13th game, and got some notes:

• Tape 6 makes mention of Joey's murder by Vick as being "yesterday morning"
• Tape 7 mentions the Pinehurst murders as happening "last week"

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

On a related note, is there anything in the Producer's Cut of Halloween 6 that makes it unable to work in the Slasherverse, given that the film is overall a better version of Halloween 6?

 

[Pro Bot]

Tape 6 is probably during Part 5.

I suppose not, although the theatrical version fits better due to Michael's mask being left behind and it showing up in Bride of Chucky (they're both set in Illinois too).

I think both have their positives and negatives. I prefer the theatrical ending more, I like the additional scenes in the PC version, I don't like incest Myers implications (there's different interpretations of how exactly that works so it might not be as bad as it sounds, but it still sounds yucky and gross), etc.

I do appreciate that Michael massacres the cult too. Combine that with how he operated in the tie-in comics to 4-6, it fixes issues with Myers being a pawn to the Thorn cult.

 

[Pro Bot]

One of my favourite pieces of retroactive continuity is the Kent Kingsley character.

1967


1974


2006

 

[Pro Bot]

It actually works really well, because Kent looks very similar to Billy, when he killed Joey he was singing a rhyme just like how Billy talks, and he was killed off-screen in The Toolbox Murders, which could explain his insane ramblings in Black Christmas (possibly brain damage?), or it could be an example of Eugene's fake deaths that he mentions.

The blu-ray for Hellraiser: Deader is pretty rare, so I guess I'm settling for the DVD. Couldn't find a Region B blu-ray for Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, so DVD for those too I guess. The timecodes might be a little off (compression of FPS, something like that), but I can't do anything about that. If anyone has the blu-rays of any of those, feel free to help me out.

 

[Pro Bot]

Might be canon since it's the precursor to Hellraiser: Judgment.

 

[Pro Bot]

I can manage to find an obscure short film that ties into Hellraiser: Judgment but I still won't be able to watch Wait for It anytime soon.

 

[Pro Bot]

Victor Crowley and Judith Myers died on the same Halloween night of 1963. That's an intriguing coincidence.

Maybe the new family rebuilt the Sawyer house after Texas Chainsaw 3D explaining its appearance in Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)? Kidding of course, but I wish 3D and Leatherface were canon to the original timeline. We already have to accept that the Sawyers can be brought back from death, so it could work pretty well anyway with the Sawyers supposedly being killed in 1973. My explanation will always be that the Illuminati (The Next Generation) keeps bringing them back so that they can keep instilling fear for whatever reason.

Leatherface
Dies: Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Part 2
Alive: Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III

Grandpa
Dies: Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Part 2
Alive: Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation

Cook
Dies: Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Part 2
Alive: Jason vs Leatherface #1-3

Hitchhiker
Dies: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Alive: Jason vs Leatherface #1-3

The first four films are the same continuity regardless of what some people think. The intro texts should be look at as stories and rumours. Stretch appears in III. The Next Generation refers to two other incidents and then silence for 5 years (matching 1991-1996). Then, of course, Fade's comments about the other movies happening. I suppose you could take his comment about Leatherface being given as many chances as movies that happened could be taken to include Texas Chainsaw 3D, but... well, they were very adamant at that time that the only canon movies were The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Texas Chainsaw 3D and Leatherface so I guess we just lose out on Bubba's whole backstory (or Jed as it were).

My head-canon:
1965 - Leatherface
1973 - Petals
1973 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
1986 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Part 2
1991 - Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III
1996 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
2000 - Jason vs Leatherface #1-3
2012 - Texas Chainsaw 3D
2020 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre
2024 - Texas Chainsaw Legacy

You could technically throw the reboot in there since it's a completely separate family, but... that'd be a huge coincidence that there's two cannibal families in Texas that both have a Leatherface and attack on the same August 18, 1973... so ignoring that.
