Technically it can all fit in the same universe, but, uh... it's not like it'd be very narratively rewarding.

Even still.
1981 - Poltergeist (1982)
1982 - Poltergeist II: The Other Side
1988 - Poltergeist III
1996 - Poltergeist: The Legacy 1x01-1x21

2000 - Poltergeist: The Legacy: Frontiers of the Mind

2015 - Poltergeist (2015)
Why not?
Pointless, but why not?

I suppose arguably it could still be put here... It was intended as part of the universe, the only reason it's not in the movie is because the actress died shortly before they could film it

It'll probably still fit, we'll see.
How so?https://ghostbustersnews.com/2026/0...-at-ghostbusters-night-shift-animated-series/

Depends on what they say about the original team.

Either way, nice Casper prequel. 
My mind immediately went to 'oh we're doing a split timeline - either this timeline or Extreme Ghostbusters, take your pick.'https://ghostbustersnews.com/2026/0...-at-ghostbusters-night-shift-animated-series/
1994... might be an uh oh moment, honestly.

You could probably fit them both if you really wanted to.

If you REALLY push it, the timeline could definitely look like:
1983 - Monster House
1984 - Ghostbusters
1984 - The Real Ghostbusters S1
1985 - The Real Ghostbusters S2
1986 - The Real Ghostbusters S3
1987 - The Real Ghostbusters S4
1988 - Slimer! S1
1989 - Ghostbusters II
1990 - The Earth Day Special
1990 - The Real Ghostbusters S5
1991 - The Real Ghostbusters S6
1991 - Ghostbusters: The Video Game
1994 - Ghostbusters: Night Shift S1
1995 - Casper
1997 - Extreme Ghostbusters S1
2011 - Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime
2019 - QuickBooks Happy Business: Ghostbusters Payments
2019 - QuickBooks Happy Business: Ghostbusters All in One Place
2019 - QuickBooks Happy Business: Ghostbusters Payroll Taxes
2019 - QuickBooks Happy Business: Ghostbusters
2021 - Ghostbusters: Afterlife
2022 - Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
2023 - Ghostbusters Real-Time Short Film
2023 - Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord
2024 - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Sanctum of Slime is definitely pushing it, but, eh, we never physically SEE it being impossible... we just... hear things that suggests it isn't?
The Quickbooks adverts could be Janine and Slimer making in-universe adverts way after the Ghostbusters are inactive.You can throw in Monster House due to the Frozen Empire easter egg if you wanted to make it look ridiculous.

Nadeem plays a video game in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire that director Gil Kenan has identified as a 3D installment of Thou Art Dead, the arcade game seen in 2006's Monster House.

Gil Kenan: "The game that Nadeem is playing on his TV there is a modern sort of PS5 version of a video game that I first invoked in my first film, Monster House, called Thou Art Dead." - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire commentary, 0:49:51 - 0:50:12.

I guess you can throw in the NOW Comics, Marvel Comics and Dark Horse Comics into this list, too.
It looks really complicated, of course. If you had this interpretation, I guess every single IDW Ghostbusters comic would be set in a variation of a primary Ghostbusters universe where different elements of the main one happened... which is just ridiculous. I guess it's not far off from them setting The Real Ghostbusters as not just a separate reality from the movies, but also Extreme Ghostbusters and Slimer!. Then again, Sanctum of Slime was shown as the "near future" of IDW's Ghostbusters world prior to being designated Dimension 50-S (which had a comic post-Sanctum of Slime and Crossing Over with references to The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters, which were both shown as a different reality in said crossover).
So, of course... a lot of Ghostbusters timelines have pretty much identical events.
Is Marvel's Earth-88326 Dimension 68-R, Dimension 68-E, or a completely new reality? We'll never know.

Egon exists in that reality... or at least, it seems that way based on the bust of him and the Sony Proton Pack video. The cabbie could have been Ray, explaining why he's not scared of ghosts. Other than that, I don't know. I'd have preferred if it was back a decade ago when it came out.
Annie Potts' character is actually named Vanessa after a character she played of the same name in Corvette Summer, so maybe that's part of the Answer the Call reality.

Maybe I'll do a Ghostbusters composite timeline one day that includes everything but IDW's comics... or, at least, the ones that involve the multiverse.

Well, if the firehouse isn't occupied in 1994... well, y'know. Not exactly IDW compatible. We'll see I guess.

When is Monster House actually set? People say anything between the 1980s to 2000s.
In my opinion, if there isn't a conclusive answer, I just go with the release year
We got a problem, the show runner says that the Ghostbusters disbanded before 1994 https://www.animationmagazine.net/2...spooky-visually-dazzling-show-set-in-the-90s/

Well, in that case, I guess the IDW comics can't fit with the new movies and TV show.

Of course... a lot of the possibly canon media is set in separate universes per the IDW comics. Mind you, they also have multiple different universes that are exactly the same as one another, so arguably, they could all be variants where the same events happen multiple times, only the events before and after are different. This is already the case between the IDW reality and the Movie universe if you think about it. That could get messy though.
