Hack/Slash referenced a Leprechaun, but obviously they're not specific to movies so it's not a direct connection. This might count though, which would bring in the Leprechaun and Night of the Demon movies presumably.

Oh, and the main character gets a phone call from Eugene (I presume). The character on the phone makes baby noises/moans, so it's a reasonable assumption I think. Eugene is Billy.

Leprechaun (?)
I'd say it's obviously referencing something, so due to it being a Leslie Vernon spinoff it should be assumed to be referencing a horror movie (Leprechaun).

Also, are SNDN and MBV going to be added due to the Child's Play reference, or are they being disregarded as regular Good Guy dolls, as a real world product? I'd imagine it's more likely the latter, since they seem to be unrelated to Chucky, but I haven't read the comic, so idk
 
Also, is KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park going to be added, due to the KISS comics with Army of Darkness and Vampirella?

I'm also aware of a few Hack/Slash references to other franchises, though not off the top of my head, so I'll go over the ones to see which are too vague
 
The Hack/Slash comics reference:
Cujo (I'm not sure which comic this is in)
The Crow (The Crow: Hack/Slash - She Wears Shadows)
Spawn (appears in Hack/Slash: My First Maniac #1)

Not a Hack/Slash comic, but Nightbreed also did a crossover with Hellraiser in comic form (Hellraiser Nightbreed: Jihad), and I'm going to do a rain check on the Cujo one

Grandma Sawyer's corpse appears in The Howling, which was done by the same art director as TCM. A coven of werewolves is also mentioned in Child's Play: The Series #2. There's also a newspaper referencing Piranha, another John Dante film, and in Piranha 3D, Matt Hooper from Jaws appears. (This is a lot, and I get the Howling references are a bit scarce, but I just love the idea of Jaws being a part of this for some reason)
Oh hey you got that from my letterboxd list :)
 
This reference was made through a rabid dog being mentioned in an article in Hack/Slash: My First Maniac #1, which could just be any dog, depending on how they're mentioned
The Cujo connection is weak, but considering it's from Hack/Slash and that's full of references to other horror films I added it anyway

This is the Piranha reference in the Howling for anyone curious

I noticed you included the Friday the 13th remake on your Letterboxd list. Would it be possible for you to also then add the Transformers movies, and 28 Days? Also, you have all the Greek mythology stuff done (albeit without much dates). Just wondering where you got the information from? I saw talk of it on this thread before, but due to a lack of making a timeline for it, it wasn't added (I believe)

You also have other, stronger connections to Cujo, so you could assume this is referencing Cujo, since they're already a pre-existing ip
 
Charlie Brewster from Fright Night appears in Friday the 13th: The Crystal Lake Massacres Revisited, so you could include that
He mentions knowing Jason which isn't really possible with Charley being 17 in Fright Night which pretty definitely takes place in the mid 80s but you could just say he lied about knowing Jason for attention

@Pro Bot Dagon still needs to be added to the colour codes and the timeline reasoning.
Also, is there a specific way to watch the "real world" timeline, concurrently with the in-universe one? Or is it just anytime?

The problem is that Wes Craven's New Nightmare should be set between Freddy's Dead and Jason Goes to Hell, which doesn't match the fictional timeline. Other than that, they're pretty much parallel as far as I can tell.

So Wes Craven's New Nightmare after Freddy's Dead, and the rest of them line up accurately with the dates
 
My Name is Bruce doesn't have any dates other than 2007, which is just comics (I'm not reading them currently), but if I ever did read comics (and for completionist's sake) how would it line up with those comics?

2007 also includes the Frozen/Hatchet series (excluding Victor Crowley) and Saw 3D, so would I do My Name is Bruce before, between or after these?

Count the biggest gap between events and place it there. If there's something already there without any exact placement, use release dates to decide which comes first.

I've been adding some of the Stephen King stuff from this timeline, though I don't know enough about his works to know which ones are Stephen King entries or not. Could you tell me which ones are Stephen King or not?
