Choosing to exclude The Walking Dead from Breaking Bad is defensible enough, as it was after all the former that references the latter. It's certainly fair to say that BB does not include WD even if WD does include BB. The two universes are not necessarily congruent.
The same is not true with respect to The X-Files. BB references it, not vice versa. If you wish to exclude it, you are free to do so, but do so knowing that you are describing a series as you wish it had been made, not as it actually was.

Probably not for long. Cancer isn't a lot of fun at first, but it grows on you.Walter lives on in the Arrowverse.
Ho cambiato idea; credo che includerò *X-Files*. Tuttavia, non l'ho mai visto, quindi potrei aver bisogno di aiuto.

The X-Files crosses over with John Munch, so good luck with that. I wouldn't include it at all.
Se lo facessi, ci vorrebbe molto tempo (senza contare che sto guardando altre serie, quindi dovrei incastrarlo tra i miei altri impegni), inoltre dovrei includere anche i webisode, e mentre alcuni sono facili da trovare, altri possono essere un po' più difficili da rintracciare. Comunque, se qualcuno ha qualche informazione, per favore, passi a dare un'occhiata al mio thread.

I kind of wish The Amityville Horror got a better reference in Chucky, like asking, "When was the last time anybody lived here?", giving a better chance to connect the film franchise to the Slasherverse. But that's just my opinion.

The fact that they play essentially The Amityville Horror theme music and they designed the interior based off of the films is enough for me.

1. Terrifier is linked to All Hallows' Eve and Bupkis (fictionalised Pete Davidson comedy) directly through Art being in all three.
2. The Ghostface duo that gets killed at the start of Scream VI have a poster for Ice Nine Kills' fictional venue at Abe's Snakepit that we later saw in their A Work of Art music video. (This also connects Jay and Silent Bob, Drawing Flies, Fanboys, Zack and Miri, Tusk/Yoga Hosers, The 4:30 Movie, Paradise Records and The Napa Boys)
3. Danny Johnson Ghostface's lore from Dead by Daylight references a parody of a historical killer known as the Miner, a possible nod to My Bloody Valentine.
4. My Bloody Valentine has a crossover with Silent Night, Deadly Night.

I doubt he's playing Art honestly. Might get referenced though.

Another Scream link would be a joke Wes Craven made on the Scream commentary about the police chief in A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream played by the same actor being the same character.

Child's Play: The Series #1
Suicidally stupid Chicago horror-film enthusiast and amateur black-magician Russ Timpone picks up Chucky outside the Play Pals Toys factory in Andy Mangels, "Night of the Living Doll," Child's Play: The Series 1.1 (May 1991), and says to him, "Are you like telling me you're a doll that's come to life? That's like in Trilogy of Terror or Puppetmaker [sic], dude. Or like that kid who was in the papers a few months back for saying his doll killed everybody."
Timpone is probably referring to Trilogy of Terror and Puppetmaster as movies. Certainly it was only that at the time. As it happens, however, a Zuni fetish doll like He Who Kills (from the "Amelia" segment of Trilogy of Terror) appears alongside The Mask and a Chachapoyan fertility idol on the WQPS Channel 13 set of The Appraiser's Road Trip in Greg Nicotero, "Public Television of the Dead," Creepshow (April 1, 2021). I have no comment on the other movie Timpone mentions.
Child's Play: The Series #2
I know that this was discussed back in February 2024, but I think it merits a second pass. Andy Mangels, "Crazy Daze Part 1: Straight-Jacket Blues," Child's Play: The Series 1.5 (July 1991), has Carlton State Hospital* parapsychologist Dr. Curry explain to Karen Barclay that "parapsychology is not at all what you might think it is from the movies. / Not all of us are diminutive old women, nor do we carry "Proton Packs" to fight off a multitude of weird spirits who haunt our >ahem< earthly realm," and go on to ask her, "Did you know, for instance, that a small town of Springwood, Ohio, has been plagued for years by mass psychic disturbances of a dream killer? / How about the legends of swamp monsters roaming bayous, or covens of werewolves plotting humanity's downfall?" Later, one of the orderlies, Robert, refers to Dr. Curry as "the Ghostbuster guy." (N.B., all capitalization is assumed; the comic is in all-majuscule.)
As previously discussed, Dr. Curry is clearly referring to Freddy Krueger, Swamp Thing, and the various werewolf colonies of The Howling, at least as kayfabe rumors. At the time the comic was published, there had already been five Nightmare on Elm Street films, two Swamp Thing films and a season of the USA Network Swamp Thing television show, and six Howling films.
About seven years later, Bride of Chucky shows that the Lockport Police Department evidence locker contains a knife-fingered glove, The Mask, a hockey goalkeeper's mask, and a chain saw. There is of course no direct confirmation that these are one of Freddy Krueger's claw-hands, Michael Myers's Halloween masks, Jason Voorhees's face masks, and Leatherface Sawyer's chain saws. Nevertheless, we generally accept that this was clearly a reference to them. Given that the mummified woman seen in the upstairs of the Sawyers' South Texas Victorian house in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is on display in Walter Paisley's occult bookstore The Other Side in The Howling, this strongly reinforces Dr. Curry's remarks.
Pro Bot was noncommittal two years ago about the Ghostbusters here, as Dr. Curry refers to the Proton Pack as something out of the movies. There are a number of Kenner® The Real Ghostbusters™ Ecto-1™ Vehicles on the shelves at Playland Toys in Child's Play. Since the comic was published, though, Ghostbusters: The Video Game acknowledged 2004's Freddy vs. Ghostbusters, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife confirms Ghostbusters II's implication that Ray Parker Jr.'s hit "Ghostbusters" was a kayfabe hit. It is entirely possible that the Ghostbusters, known to engage in marketing and merchandising, may have promoted their business with film and cartoons after 1989.
This then brings us to Dr. Curry's first example. I think he's referring to psychic consultant Tangina Barrons, Dr. Marsha Lesh's "Subject T" in the Parapsychology Laboratory at UC Irvine in Poltergeist. We don't know precisely what Dr. Curry is referring to; it's entirely possible that the Cuesta Verde hauntings and following events were dramatized, as we have seen so often elsewhere in the Slasher Universe.
* Karen Barclay's hospital blouse says "Carlson," and Chucky asks a bus driver if "Carlson State Hospital" is on his route, but the façade of the hospital itself clearly says "Carlton."

The Ghostbusters fan film crossover with Stranger Things places the fanfiction reality as Dimension 68-F. Most major Ghostbusters fan films are part of that timeline, along with the two movies and video game. Also, just because Ghostbusters might consider Freddy vs Ghostbusters canon (which they don't), that doesn't make it the exact same Freddy as it's still unofficial.

I'm new to the forum. Y'all are doing some great work, but I'm wondering if y'all know about the universal monsters connection in Jason X? You can see the Gillman's hand in a jar in the background.

Always nice to get Universal Monsters back into the conversation, that's a lot to add though and I doubt @Pro Bot is up to it right now (or where they actually stand on Universal Monsters, TBH)

The good news is that I have copies of the novelizations and the three original sequel novels, so I can check those for clarification of any dubia.
