How does Dead by Daylight canon work? Are the crossover Chapters always in separate Universes? They surely can't all be the same or can they? Alien, Castlevania, Scream, etc

Yes, Dead by Daylight is a multiverse. The Entity is a god-like being that feeds off emotions to become more powerful and consume universes. The crossover characters come from all sorts of universes, often branching from their original timelines.

What years do the killers come from?
 
I think Home Alone 4 is definitely set between the first and second film after verifying. I really shouldn't take these films as seriously as I am, but here we are.

1. The first film has a December 1990 calendar while the second film is firmly set in 1992.
2. Kevin is 8 in the first, 9 in the fourth and 10 in the second.
3. While they repeatedly say that the first film happened a year ago in the second installment, they could be mistaken or referring to the fourth film.
4. Home Alone 4 doesn't seem to ever actually reference the second film.
5. The home video of the McCallisters' last Christmas could be set directly after the first film.
6. Peter breaks up with Natalie to be with his family at the end. I feel terrible for her to be honest, she was so kind to Kevin and spoilt him. From her perspective, he just acts out and causes thousands of dollars of property damage for no reason. Then her maid was arrested, her butler quit, her boyfriend left her, and the royal family decided to spend the day with the McCallisters instead of her... all on Christmas day.

They probably didn't intend for the continuity to go 1 -> 4 -> 2, but it's seemingly the most logical interpretation.

Rick and Morty timeline is done

Rick and Morty Timeline

Timeline placement and reasoning: The timeline of the show is extremely convoluted, considering that, despite multiple years having passed, the characters barely age. This means that the show operates in a "floating timeline" and the characters' ages should be counted from their first...

I can't believe I'm making notes about this, but here.
Home Alone
The calendar in Kevin's house matches December 1990. He is 8 years old.

Home Alone 4
Despite the early 2000s technology, Kevin is 9 years old in this film, placing it in 1991. The videos showing the family's previous Christmas can be taken to occur directly after the events of Home Alone. Marv does state that Kevin shows up whenever he's about to rob somewhere, implying that he's met him more than once prior to this film, but it's vague enough that it can still work.

Home Alone 2
There are two references placing this film in 1992. The ledger at the Plaza Hotel and the New York Post that Harry has, which was dated December 24, 1992. Matching with this, Kevin is stated to be 10 years old. Despite this, there are numerous references to the first film as having occurred last year.
  1. Kate McCallister references Kevin's wish from the first film coming true a year ago.
  2. Kevin tells the airport workers that his plane can't leave without him, as he was left on his own last year and it nearly wrecked his Christmas.
  3. Kate tells the police that Kevin was left at home by accident last year.
  4. Harry asks Marv if he remembers what happened last year when they approach the stairs.
These can be instead taken as references to Home Alone 4.
  1. Kevin wished that he was an only child and got to experience being one while at his father's girlfriend's house.
  2. Kevin wasn't technically left home alone in the fourth instalment, but he might as well have been.
  3. Same as above.
  4. Harry could be referencing when Marv encountered Kevin during Home Alone 4.

So... yeah. The Kevin MacCalister trilogy. I've analysed Home Alone 4 more than I should have. Definitely works though.

1) Home Alone
2) Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House
3) Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
