Slasherverse - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

The reality where Darkseid wins. It's the world Barry comes from to warn Bruce in BVS, as well as where Joker gives Bats a reacharound and Bats gets his chest caressed a bit too hard by Superman.

Darkman is weird. It's Universal Monsters kinda but also not. The nature of a lot of those films means that the inclusiveness isn't always specified. It's mainly included due to the specifics of the wider franchise rather than the actual film itself. Statements suggest it's Sam Raimi's own Universal Monster, but was that continuity intentioned? Well, probably not, but the theme park seems to suggest a continuity with all Universal Monsters material, so it's taken in.


The Jason X connection is more notable. I think I'd only add things that directly connect rather than everything if I did that... which would pretty much be every Dracula/Mummy/Frankenstein/Wolfman/Gillman film, the 1999 Mummy/Scorpion King series, The Mummy (2017), and Renfield. I'm not planning on that, but, well, yeah? I guess it's a pretty solid connection. (Insert non-existent crying emoji)

nice! also are you including theme parks? because the monsters unleashed ride includes everything....

Often, rides aren't canon by default (with the exception of a few Star Wars rides at Disney World, and Alton Towers I guess but that's a whole other can of worms) but since the theme park shows Darkman as being present in Universal Monsters, that was why it was included

What's the reasoning for the Black Adam Precursors being in it? Not criticising, just curious

 

[Pro Bot]

Because it doesn't fit in the main timeline and contradicts the Black Adam movie.

Not quite why, actually. Darkman was said to be Sam Raimi's tribute and addition to the Universal Monsters, hence it's inclusion. Honestly, UM is really weird.

 

[stphylcccs]

Is there a canon reason as to why there are so many clones of monsters, or is it just "we want to tell more stories but can't under these restrictions, let's just write another story - oh no but it's still canon, just different people"

I don't think they're clones as much as just different family members and shared titles.

 

[stphylcccs]

"Clones" was just poor wording, but it just seems like astronomical coincidences IMO

 

[Pro Bot]

Though, one of the Hammer Dracula films does introduce the concept of Dracula creating a soul clone, in a manner of speaking.

 

[zombie dude]

umm

 

[Pro Bot]

Wow... well, I think the moment you start bringing in huge existing continuities, you gotta slow down just a little bit.

Ngl i agree. the buffyverse is way to big

 

[zombie dude]

Norma Bates appears in beetlejuice beetlejuice

 

[Megatron]

umm

Buffyverse mentioned!

 

[stphylcccs]

Norma Bates appears in beetlejuice beetlejuice

Honestly, I could get with the idea of Beetlejuice being in this continuity, yeah

 

[zombie dude]

So there were more creatures in the jason X scene Some of there are unidentified though

To be fair he didn't specify if it was a reference to the movie or show version of the character

Excellent...

 

[zombie dude]

so how many franchises are in the slasherverse now?

 

[stphylcccs]

32 (that Pro Bot acknowledged as definitely canon)

 

[zombie dude]

not sure if anyone has mentioned this but the crate from creepshow is in jgth

 

[stphylcccs]

It's been mentioned quite a few times, though hasn't been added due to Creepshow's convolution

 

[zombie dude]

due to Creepshow's convolution

wdym?

 

[Pro Bot]

The TV series suggests both a connected universe with everything while also adding zombie apocalypses that contradict it, if I recall.

isn't that the case with the ash vs evil dead finale to?

 

[Pro Bot]

Nah, that was temporary.

 

[zombie dude]

Nah, that was temporary.

ah. what if we add the first 3 movies to the timeline and set the tv show in a alternate timeline(or apart of the real world because of that evil dead episode)

 

[stphylcccs]

Again, just bringing up the Hellraiser/Nightbreed crossover, whether or not Nightbreed'd be included

The movie was already added IIRC
