Yep, that's definitely going on the intentional list. You could ask, which Halloween timeline, but release dates should be enough to justify it.

Same, naturally. I wish I had seen the Re-Animator films way earlier. I've enjoyed every comic I've read recently as well, except the Darkman one. Darkman is a decent film, the comic tie-in just isn't very interesting to me.

Hopefully, all the other comic books are just as good, including the ones I haven't included yet like The Crow, Mercy Sparx and Nailbiter... and probably a few others. Living Corpse, apparently.

Christ, I'm going to add serveral whole comic franchises before I even attempt to reconcile the Hellraiser comics.

I'll try, one day. There's two crossovers in those.

Hellraiser vs. Nightbreed: Jihad
Pinhead vs. Marshal Law: Law in Hell

I'm likely going to ignore Nightbreed and Marshal Law though.

I seemed to have forgot about something... The X-Files: Conspiracy comic... oh dear. We... we might need some guidelines so we don't end up in Tommy Westphall's head.

Nooo X-Files Is basically our Denise.

"Although there is no direct connection between the two shows, the series Fringe connects The X-Files to Twin Peaks, putting all three in the same universe. Fringe not only mentions a promising FBI agent named Mulder, who went off the rails, but features Doctor Jacoby's two-color glasses and says "they were sent to be by a Doctor Jacoby from Washington State." - this refers to the twins peak and x-files connection.

"It was in this Baltimore based television series that actor Richard Belzer's famous character Detective John Munch was first seen. He appears in The X-Files, Season 5 episode "Unusual Suspects"), which from a chronological perspective, takes place in 1989, a few years prior to Homicide: Life on the Street. The Munch character went on cross over into numerous television shows. While some could be considered parodies (e.g., Arrested Development), others are serious." - This refers to Homicide and X-files connection... and you know to what homicides connect too, right? LAW & Order.

"Fringe is a sci-fi series that deals with parallel dimensions. In Season 2, episode 1's "A New Day in the Old Town," Senator James Van Horn's remarks suggest that this series takes place in the same universe as The X-Files. Not only is the X-Files referred to, but FBI agent Mulder is specifically referenced as having gone off the rails. The appearance of the X-Files episode "Dreamland" on television would seem to argue that The X-Files is a TV show in that universe, however, "Hollywood AD" showed that the adventures of Mulder and Scully had been turned into a movie. It's not known if that movie was later aired on TV (and that's what's being seen on television) or was spun off into a television series. It's also possible that in one universe, the X-Files is a television series, while in another it's history." - this refers to the fringe and x-files connection.

"This episode of Picket Fences was written and intended to be a crossover with the X-Files, picking up where the events of 2x10: Red Museum left off. Although CBS nixed the idea at the last minute, direct references to "Red Museum" remain in the episode." - this refers to the connection between picket fences and X-Files.

Well, it was confirmed that that comic wasn't canon to the Ghostbusters Dimension-Prime. The Transformers continuity is divergent. I think it's supposed to be the IDW Turtles. I don't know how The Crow fits in.

The Crow might just be a thing in a few universes.

i really hope for your mental health that this is the case... I would probably have gone mad at this moment if I was you...
 
Ah, screw it. The Crow crossover doesn't really connect to anything else Crow-related. It's an isolated story as far as I know, so yeah, the other comics could be canon, it doesn't really reference the other Crows (again, as far as I know).

I almost feel like a line needs to be drawn for comic-comic crossovers for now, and revisit it at a later date.

That's the thing with the comic crossovers, you kinda of to pick and choose what you want to add, or you'll end up going down a rabbit hole of endless crossovers and connections

My opinion, we add the crossovers franchaises with on-screen media, the exception happens when one comic franchaises makes crossover with a lot of things, for example hack/slash.
 
John Munch is like the patient zero of the Tommy Whespall thing, his first series was the one that crossed over with St. Elsewhere and he then "infected" the Law and Order franchise that in turn crossed over with the rest of American TV fiction.
 
1. All included series must be a film/TV property first even if the connection is through a comic book. Hack/Slash is an obvious exception.

2. All references to other franchises has to be an intentional universe link. For example, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is shown as fictional in Gremlins, so it is not likely not an in-universe link. Grandma Sawyer in The Howling is probably not intended to connect, though the Chucky tie-in comic does help justify a link I suppose.

So, yeah. If I were to include more, it'd be:

1. Digging Up the Morrow
2. Leprechaun (what other Leprechauns would Cassie be talking about!?)
3. Night of the Demons
4. The Howling (because of the two references)
5. Gremlins
6. Explorers (references Gremlins, same director)

I'm skeptical of The Time Machine being linked, since it seems to work differently to that film. Robbie the Robot (Forbidden Planet 1956) is another interesting connection in Gremlins, but I doubt it's supposed to mean anything.

The Howling VIII is out-of-print so that's screwed. I'm gonna nab the DVD. Just in case, one day, y'know.
