Slasherverse - Timeline

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Psycho is a movie in the Slasherverse too, interestingly. Obviously we know that it can be both a movie and reality, but still.

the in-universe Chucky Goes Psycho movie has a poster that resembles Psycho too.

Completely random coincidence that's definitely unintentional, but it's funny that both Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Bubba Ho-Tep are set in Texas and deal with government conspiracies.

It'd be a neat head-canon if the Illuminati was behind John F. Kennedy's resurrection and, uh, "dyed" skin colour. Just random thoughts I had.

Another completely unintentional connection, the possessed Sonny and demon in Amityville II: The Possession look like Deadites. Even when these things aren't connected on purpose, it still manages to work out it seems.

Have you read the Hellraiser comics, Marrow? I know that the original 20 issues are all anthology stories set, logically, before the first Hellraiser (Pinhead out of commission between II and III).

I'm unfamiliar with Nightbreed as of now, so I'm not sure if that story is set before, or maybe after Hellraiser III? And of course, I'm probably going to have to include that with the Hellraiser comics... so ANOTHER 25 issues and a movie.

From what I understand the Hellraiser comics don't have any dates and can kinda of be placed anywhere. Pinhead isn't even in most of them.

As for Nightbreed, most of the comics seem to take place shortly after the movie so 1990, but I guess you could stretch it out to 1993.

The 2014 Nightbreed series appears to ignore the previous series and is its own continuity

(Sorry it took so long to reply my wifi is shit lol)

Well, I can always BS another Hell Priest in if it gets too problematic...

This is a list of all the Hellraiser comics. Not a Timeline or Reading Order unfortunely.

 

[Pro Bot]

Yeah... this is going to take a loooonnng time.

Oh, the Marshall Law crossover is set in the future apparently. Let's say 100 years, give or take.

So, in theory, this would be the future timeline.

2092 - Army of Darkness #1992.1, "Ash Beyond"
2093 - Pinhead vs Marshal Law: Law in Hell #1-2
2096 - Leprechaun 4: In Space (I know, just go with it)
2099 - Victor Crowley's Hatchet: Halloween Tales III, "Past Forward"
2127 - Hellraiser IV: Bloodlines
2455 - Jason X
2455 - Jason X: Special
2455 - Friday the 13th: Jason vs Jason X #1-2

TV Tropes (for Marshall Law):
20 Minutes into the Future: A recent gravestone says it's 2020, and America is still fighting off the Soviet Threat, nearly 30 years after it ended in Real Life.

OK, maybe like, 2025 then. It doesn't really matter. Then again, if San Francisco is destroyed... ah, what the heck? It's not like Marshall Law is even being considered canon here.

Guess the Jennifer's Body comic is canon

 

[Pro Bot]

Lisa Frankinstein is allegedly the same universe as Jennifer's Body too, so...

(They can't all be the same character, by the way. It's an in-joke)

6 minutes in, C-M would be Candyman. Deleted scene though, so... not canon.

Is there a reason for him not just saying Candyman or Pinhead's name like the others?

 

[Pro Bot]

Probably either a legal thing or he's just shortening it like "Fred", "Mike", etc.

What's that? A Behind the Mask deleted scene?
