Why is Reanimator set in 1987 instead of 1985?

Bride of Re-Animator is set 8 months later. There's evidence from the ending of the first film marked July 12th, 1987. There's a newspaper in Beyond Re-Animator about the events of the first film with a newspaper date that has days of the week matching with October 1987.
 
Erm Spawn?

It's the old Devil's Due -> Image -> Top Cow -> Dynamite -> Devil's Due thing, really. For example, if AoD vs Classic Monsters is a sequel to Monster War, then Lara Croft exists in this universe.

Image has this whole thing with crossovers, really. Basically the crossover occurs in multiple universes, and each universe has their own variants of crossover characters to maintain creative freedom.

Do the Hellraiser comics exist in a separate universe?

Due to the evident contradictions, it's not really a priority even if I do try and magically squeeze it in.

Philip LeMarchand (Legacy)

Philip LeMarchand was a French architect, artisan and designer who is posthumously credited as possibly one of the most prolific, if undiscovered, mass murderers in the history of the modern world. He first became known for his creation of bizarre, intricately designed music boxes which quickly...

He first appeared as a character in the Epic Hellraiser comic series and was portrayed as a much older man, though still a creator of toys and singing birds. This version, created with the support of Clive Barker, was a mass murderer who used human fat and bone in the construction of his boxes. He was aided by a material given to him by the Cenobite known as Baron.

In the film Hellraiser: Bloodline, written several years later, the character is portrayed as much less morally reprehensible. In this version, LeMarchant is a young ingenious toymaker known for his intricate mechanical designs. The character Dr. Paul Merchant (portrayed by Canadian actor Bruce Ramsay, is supposed to be Philip's descendant in the far future. It says in the film that the Lament Configuration was commissioned from LeMarchand by the aristocraft Duc de L'Isle in 1784. At that time, Philip LeMarchand, a French toymaker, makes the Lament Configuration for the wealthy aristocrat, who is obsessed with dark magic. He and his apprentice, Jacques, kill a woman and remove her insides from her skin, and de L'Isle uses dark magic with the Lament Configuration to summon a demon princess named Angelique in the woman's skin. She is theirs to command unless they stand in Hell's way. However, Angelique and Jacques betray and kill de L'Isle. LeMarchand, in the process of inventing a design (the Elysium Configuration) to destroy the demons, attempts to steal back the box, but is discovered. Jacques callously informs the toymaker that he and his bloodline are cursed until the end of time because of the box he created, before ordering Angelique to kill him. However, his pregnant wife survives, as does his bloodline.

What about the Hellraiser companion Book of the Damned? Is that non canon as well?

Theoretically speaking, you could also fit the Scream franchise into the "Real World", given that it's a more grounded and realistic take on Slashers
