Apologies, I hadn't noticed that before.
Though, on a side note, is there any reason Leatherface is where it is, other than the intro being in the '50s?

Yeah, not sure if it's been added to this yet but it's definitely on the Jason Un1v3rse timeline

Once again, still too vague

Just wondering, how strong does a connection have to be, to be considered canon? Specifically, referencing movie events. Could any (serious) movie make out that one of the IPs exist in-universe (eg shoestring budget college films) or does it have to be of certain quality?
I don't plan on just making a movie that references Freddy Krueger (for example) and say "Yo I made a movie and got it officially licensed, add it to the timeline," I'm just intrigued when it stops becoming essentially fan-films and starts being considered canon

I know Blair Witch was touched upon about a year ago, but was disregarded as the Cult of Thorn tattoo wasn't strong enough. I'm pretty sure the Blair Witch gets mentioned in Hatchet 2, though. Jack Chop can also be seen being sold there. I get usually with stuff like props appearing as Easter eggs, that's disregarded (eg the massive amounts of Lament Configurations appearing throughout various media) but with jack chop being the whole point of Jack Chop (whereas the Lament Configuration is just there to explain how people are going to/from Hell) I would personally include it. I think Jack Chop was also advertised in Victor Crowley, I'll have to double check those

The Blair Witch does kinda give me Evil-Dead-spirit vibes, to be honest. I haven't seen past Army of Darkness, but the presence of the Blair Witch is very similar to how the spirit in Evil Dead 1 and 2 is portrayed (before it starts doing Deadite stuff)

If you can find proof of this, that would be incredibly helpful.
No idea what Jack Chop is.

View attachment 4211The jack chop in Hatchet II. Jack Chop was a short film made by Adam Green (creator of Hatchet - for those who didn't already know) stylised as an advertisement spoofing Slap Chop (though not a true parody, since Adam Green makes short horror films every Halloween), no big deal adding that.
As for the Blair Witch reference, it's at around 44:20 (based on sketchy website I'm using to find these - I have no other way to watch them in the UK right now). Vernon says "What's up with that Blair Witch" referring to Marybeth's rejection of his flirting. He talks awkwardly about her and the Blair Witch, before babbling into random voodoo-related words. He says this to Rev. Zombie, who looks at him very discontentedly. The Blair Witch project presents itself as a movie made after recovering found footage of an attempted documentary about the Blair Witch, which would've increased the popularity of the legend, though not as many people would believe in it. Clearly Vernon does not believe in it, whereas Rev. Zombie does. It's not as strong as other connections, but I'd say with Rev. Zombie's reaction to Vernon it's more plausible than just referencing it as an in-universe franchise - especially since someone asks if Victor Crowley is "like some kind of Jason Voorhees" (paraphrasing, I don't remember the exact quote) reflecting the look that the people who showed up to hunt Victor Crowley are, for lack of a better word, idiots, who can't tell when horror movies are based on real life events.

Last night, I watched Jason Goes To Hell and Freddy vs Jason. First film was meh (although I commend them for trying to do something new and different), but the second film was so ******* good! So much so that, to quote Yoshikage Kira:
;P

But in all seriousness, do you need any help with placements for the remaining Freddy's Nightmares episodes?

Season 2 is almost entirely unfinished. I might actually just watch it myself to be honest with you. I do have a "Jason Un1v3rse" timeline, after all.

And what of the placements for episodes 13 to 22 of Season 1, or are there no real placement notes in those episodes?

They've been sorted. There was nothing noteworthy in their timelines so it was ignored. Also, don't pay too much attention to the dates in that series. One of the episodes places itself in the release year despite needing to be 1983 (I think it's that episode, anyway). It makes the most sense as an extensive prequel to Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. Heck, even Freddy's origin episode can be worked around the flashbacks in that movie and Freddy vs Jason if you're creative enough (like me).

Fun fact (not), that series has a line of dialogue that implies Robert Englund's Freddy is a child molester... so, uh... I guess Freddy's time as Rorschach wasn't the start of his activities in that regard.

Wasn't that also going to be the original plan?Fun fact (not), that series has a line of dialogue that implies Robert Englund's Freddy is a child molester... so, uh... I guess Freddy's time as Rorschach wasn't the start of his activities in that regard.

I mean, wasn't that the original intention with Freddy's crimes until they got cold feet and just made him a child killer?Fun fact (not), that series has a line of dialogue that implies Robert Englund's Freddy is a child molester... so, uh...

From the Old Wives Tale story in Hellraiser Summer Special:
Now, I would say this likely is a reference to a certain Springwood Slasher, but the problem is that all the stories in the Summer Special (barring The Devil's Absolution, which jumps forward to 1992 after a few pages) are likely set around or before 1966 due to that year being given in The Devil's Absolution, whereas ol' Fred got murked in '68. Then again, considering the Dream Demons...

Do the Saw timestamps definitively happen after the Seed of Chucky scenes, or is this just for simplicity's sake?
Also, since the Uncut Edition loses 40 seconds of dialogue and only provides ~19 seconds of extended footage (mostly just for extended shock value) would you consider using the regular timestamps for this? I know it'd be a pain to have to change all the timestamps just to account for a few seconds, but I feel if we're going to use the more conclusive version it'd be the theatrical release, not the uncut, which actually loses ~20 seconds

I also feel Saw 3D establishes itself as shortly after Saw VI, not a year later (probably should be saying this on the main Saw thread, not this one, but still)

I want to introduce a theory on the table, you guys give me your honest opinion. My theory is when Ash went back in time in Army of Darkness even though it was a Predestination Paradox, after the events of Army of Darkness, this caused the inconsistences in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's timeline, Jason, Freddy, and Michael's returns, and other supernatural things. While it doesn't explain everything, but by 1982 (the events of The Evil Dead Trilogy) that's when greater evil emerged. So give me your thoughts on my theory.

Time travel has always been the explanation for the inconsistencies in this thread, yeah. Though, I think they actually gave an explanation for Michael's returns in the Thorn Trilogy

The time stamps kind of explain. Freddy's "death" in the show happens after the movie flashbacks. They throw the molotov into his hideout before moving in to finish the job. That's why Freddy is so sure that he'll be back in the show... he's already encountered the Dream Demons.
