Slasherverse - Timeline

There's a series called where monsters lie that has a couple of references to horror films that are in the slasherverse.(and some that aren't)There's also a new dream demon so that could line up with the ending of the FvJvA comic.

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 fucking good! So much so that, to quote Yoshikage Kira:

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. :(
