Slasherverse - Timeline

[stphylcccs]

The movie was already added IIRC

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?

does sweet revenge fit in the timeline?

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

Too vague of a connection

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.

I'll record the clips when I get home

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.
