Slasherverse - Timeline

Currently trying to catch-up with the Slasherverse and am reading some of the older Army of Darkness comics. And here's where I'm at (Shop Till You Drop Dead #4)...

Kinda hilarious that sometime after this, Ash is eventually gonna team-up with an aging Elvis who previously fought off a Mummy in Cowboy attire with a black-skinned JFK in a wheelchair. XD
 
It's complicated. The first two seasons have absolutely no connection to the movies. The third season has no connection to the first two seasons, but uses the Ghostface mask and voice. Scream VI features the "Brandon James" mask from Season 1-2 during the train scene but it's almost impossible to spot. I think Season 3 could suggest that it's the same universe but there's just different Ghostface killers around America doing their own thing, alongside the Lakewood Slashers from Season 1-2.

Speaking of references, here's every instance of an in-universe adaptation of real life murders in this universe that I can think of.
  • Adam Green's Hatchet references Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Texas Chainsaw Massacre as in-universe films.
  • The Evil Dead was shown in A Nightmare on Elm Street as an in-universe film despite the film both taking place A Nightmare on Elm Street and not having been released yet.
  • A Nightmare on Elm Street was turned into a film after an episode of Freddy's Nightmares.
  • The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's intro suggests it's an film (I placed that part in 1974).
  • The Toolbox Murders states that the film is a dramatisation of events that occurred in 1967 (I placed that part in 1978).
  • Friday the 13th: Part 2 is an existing movie in 1982 during Ash vs Evil Dead.
  • Hellraiser: Hellworld heavily focuses on the idea of an in-universe video game series based on the Cenobites called Hellworld. It's only at the end of the film that it is revealed to be real.
  • Psycho is referenced as an in-universe film in Hack/Slash: Comic Book Carnage!.
  • There is an in-universe Child's Play film called Chucky Goes Psycho.
  • A Nightmare on Elm Street is referenced as an in-universe film series in Evil Dead Rise.
You think real life Hollywood is bad profiting off of tragedies? Pffft, that's nothing. This is much worse.
Oh yeah, and the story of the "S-Mart Slasher" (Ash) was loosely made into movies, including an unathorized slasher movie. So Hollywood in the Slasherverse are morally fucked up with profiting off of real-life Slashers and their murder sprees. (Army of Darkness vs. Re-Animator #1)
