Slasherverse - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

Eh I could see that film as Ghostbusters canon, it's just another type of ghost in that world. It doesn't necessarily contradict the gap of time with no ghost sightings because it's probable they never told anyone what happened because iirc it was only the main cast that saw the Monster House (not 100% sure it's probably been about a decade since I last watched it)

Casper is also set in that 1991-2021 gap, as are the IDW comics.

I know but those are at least somewhat ignorable when Rounding up to 30, way different from something happening only 15 years prior

Wait there's a crossover between Evil Dead and Phantasm??? Is that official?

Yes. Further Excursions was published by The Sentinel: A Phantasm Phanzine and carries a copyright notice that the Phantasm property is used with permission; Don Coscarelli is acknowledged for "his continued support, enthusiasm, and inspiration," and part of the content solicitation at the end says that materials submitted can be "for possible use" by "Don Coscarelli and Starway International, Inc." One of the contributors, Kristen Deem, was successively a storyboard artist, script consultant, and script supervisor/property master on the first three sequels.

Elkin's "Red Planet" can still be found online here. As nearly as I can determine, Keene's "Hell at S-MART" is the only story to be reprinted (in Keene's 2003 collection No Rest at All: The Definitive No Rest for the Wicked and in the fiction archive in his Patreon).

The Conjuring is not the same universe as Amityville because Amityville and The Conjuring are just using real events and real characters as inspiration. The upcoming Amityville movie might be, though.

As I said above, we can't say they're directly connected, but it is still worth noting that the two series rhyme even if they don't harmonize. I don't think it's too much to say that a version of The Amityville Horror exists inside The Conjuring Universe, albeit in a form we don't precisely know. There are at least three circles in this Venn diagram, but we don't know how much they overlap.

24 rounded up to 30? I mean, uh, I just go with "hauntings got thin," meaning that the latter half of the comics depict every single bust they performed.

Gary's thirty-year gap is less authoritative than people tend to treat it. It's a broad statement made off the cuff by someone who is not a subject-matter expert, so really it means no ghost sightings to the best of Gary's knowledge, for a given value of "ghost sighting." He's a seismologist, not a paranormalist.

I remember people trying to argue that the video game was non-canon because 2020 (original release date) - 30 = 1990. Terrible logic.

Btw Pro Bot have you added the Sega Genesis game to the Ghostbusters timeline yet? (The one set between the first 2 films)

Iirc Tokyopop also did a graphic novel set in that time frame as well I think, wonder what order they'd go in with the Genesis game

A character the looks really similar to Indiana jones jones appears in a army of darkness and prophecy comic.

It's just a gag. Tons of Franchises have skeletons of Indiana Jones.

That's Allan Quatermain from the Savage Tales Dynamite comics. He apears in the later Prophecy issues

This guy

This guy

Oh yeah that makes a lot more sense. I didn't realize dynamite had so many public domain characters

[iceman109]

I like him, he did the Long Walk

 

[user 16960]

A suuuuuuper long time ago there was an Army of Darkness tabletop game. Could some of the scenarios from that be considered canon? It seems like the tabletop game was where the Forever comic got the year 2093 from for the directors cut ending so I think maybe it's considered canon?

Idk how the comic treats the IPs involved, but does that new DC KO comic have anything on here?

Nope. Assuming the ones in the comic are current canon Vampirella and Red Sonja they have no connections to the versions that were used for the Slasherverse crossovers

 

[user 16960]

Also side note but I hate how DC KO handled Samantha from BTTWNS, she's insanely out of character and they wrote her like an extremely generic killer rather than the more Dexter-ish approach she has in her actual comics

 

[stphylcccs]

I haven't read the comic but I hear they also massively overplayed Homelander's strength. Maybe if they did more than 1 issue they could've made it good, but 30 pages was never going to work well IMO

The DC wiki assumes it's Earth-818793 even though Vampirella's comics weren't even that reality as far as I know.

Yeah that's probably because they assume all of Dynamite Vampirella is the same even though Dynamite has several different Vampirella continuities

Also different conversation but apparently when someone made a viewing order for the "Hack/Slash universe" that just included the movies they crossed over with, Tim Seeley responded to it and said "The Crow can count as a film crossover too" so I guess The Crow films are what's canon to the Slasherverse and not the comics versions? Personally find it kinda lame since the Hack/Slash crossover showed a bunch of the comic exclusive crows in a flashback bubble thing but I guess by Tim Seeley's words those are just variants of the comic crows that exist in the film canon.

Did Tim Seeley explicitly state that their comic variants, or is it by astronomical coincidence that they're the same continuity (idk I've never seen the movies myself)

The movies are a different version of the original crow character Eric. So they can't be the same continuity as the comics unfortunately.

Vampirella in general is just weird. It's not clear where the dividing lines in her canon are and they never EXPLICITLY hard reboot. It's kind of like Scooby Doo in a way regarding canon. Maybe it's all canon, maybe none of it is. There's never been much confirmation on any of it

 

[stphylcccs]

Well, that's why it'd be astronomical coincidence. A bit like how it's kinda confirmed all TCM movies occur in one continuity, including the reboots

I mean.... I feel like The Crow is a little different because it's a comic franchise. It's like if you tried to say Tobey Spider-Man and Garfield Spider-Man were the same reality because of something like this

It's adapting the universe to film so there's gonna be variants. It's different from a movie franchise soft rebooting imo.

 

[stphylcccs]

I mean, it's just cuz the Hack/Slash comic is clearly the comics continuity, but is the movie franchise. I'd go either way, idrc
