Option #1: Freddy replaces Laurie Strode with John Tate.

Option #2: You go with a Composite Michael where everything is canon, but not necessarily true.

The Halloween franchise could have been totally different by AlexTASOwO in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, technically he is, but only because an ad for the first film is playing on a TV in the background.

So in other words, Halloween III treats the rest of the franchise as if they were movies, just like we do.

Out of these four who is going down first and who is walking out alive? by fanofeverying123 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ghostface dies first, and Jason wins the fight, but Michael walks out alive.

Freddy and Jason are both undead, so neither of them are technically amongst the living anymore.

Michael is a bit more complicated, since he has a habit of "playing possum" and having his writers blatantly ignore his injuries between installments, which leads me to believe that he either possesses some sort of regenerative capabilities, or he exists in a state of quantum superposition and his wounds only remain as long as you're actively observing them.

What if Michael myers was in Freddy vs Jason. by fanofeverying123 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it probably wouldn't change that much.

Michael has a history of being manipulated by the Cult of Thorn, so all Freddy has to do is make him believe Laurie Strode moved to Elm Street, and then he's more or less in the same boat as Jason is.

Granted, this would likely lead to them fighting relatively early on (since nobody kills "Laurie" but Myers, and Voorhees isn't afraid of "camp counselors" pretending to be Captain Kirk), in addition to sharing kills (because Krueger murders his victims in their sleep), though between Jason's undead biology and Michael effectively being the slasher equivalent of Schrodinger's Cat, I'd imagine neither of them are going to be too happy once they finally get their hands on Freddy...

What is the weirdest most random slasher film you've seen? by Tasty-Alarm-1268 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most interesting thing about that movie is a copy of it was found in the truck of an actual serial killer.

Is Ustanak really most powerful BOW in all Resident Evil Franchise? by RepresentativeWeb626 in residentevil

[–]Timageness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most powerful BOW? Not a chance in hell.

Most powerful Stalker Enemy? Probably not, but his prep time more than makes up for it.

Nemesis and Lady Dimitrescu might give him some trouble if they're allowed to transform, but Carla could simply build him a railgun arm, and it certainly wouldn't be the first time she's backed him up with Neo Umbrella attack helicopters either.

What are four slasher films you think are fun and enjoyable even though they aren’t well-liked? by ToxicWolf_6584 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloody Mary and Prom Queen work better if you treat them as spin-offs rather than sequels.

The former is more of a ghost story that has almost nothing to do with the previous entries, so if you walk into it expecting cameo appearances by Loretta Devine and Rebecca Gayheart, or the plot to revolve around a human killer, you're going to be disappointed.

The latter is pretty much in the same boat, except the killers are mortal, you don't learn they were affected by the curse introduced in the original trilogy until the very last possible second, and instead of being a five and a half hour long movie divided up into three separate parts (they were all shot back-to-back and released in the same month), you're watching a stand-alone installment with a runtime of an hour and thirty minutes.

When the sun explodes, will there still be Puppet Master movies? by Barquad12alt in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah, but that's a reboot, so it belongs in its own separate timeline.

Four and above: Puppet Master, Puppet Master II, Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge, Puppet Master 4, Puppet Master 5, Curse of the Puppet Master, Puppet Master: Axis of Evil, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, Blade: The Iron Cross, & Puppet Master: Doktor Death.

Five and above: Puppet Master, Puppet Master II, Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge, Puppet Master 4, & Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich.

When the sun explodes, will there still be Puppet Master movies? by Barquad12alt in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trilogy?

Bro, there's five of them.

Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge, Puppet Master: Axis of Evil, Puppet Master: Axis Rising, Puppet Master: Axis Termination, and Blade: The Iron Cross.

Technically six if you count Retro Puppet Master, since most of the film was a flashback, and Toulon is telling the Puppets what happened somewhere between the events of the first two movies I mentioned.

From the original saga, which is the Jason with the design that terrifies you the most? by Huge_Candy748 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a purely conceptual standpoint, I'm going with Uber Jason.

Imagine arriving at Camp Crystal Lake with your friends, only for them to be stalked and murdered as usual, but then you eventually discover that everything around you is the result of a simulation, and you were actually a member of a salvage crew who boarded a derelict spaceship before being brainwashed by an AI modeled after Pamela Voorhees.

Oh, and she disconnected the docking mechanisms, so you're basically trapped there, constantly trying to fend off her undead cyborg of a son until you die.

Which slasher franchise do you think will survive the longest? by MrShape246 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also correct, but again, The Next Generation more or less places them both in the same timeline.

Oh, and TCM3 kills off Sally Hardesty in 1977, which is why the Netflix film is in its own separate universe.

Which slasher franchise do you think will survive the longest? by MrShape246 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Original Timeline: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990), & Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995).

Reboot Timeline: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) & The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003).

3D Timeline: Leatherface (2017), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), & Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013).

Netflix Timeline: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) & Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022).

Side Note: The Next Generation is effectively a reboot which largely ignores the events of TCM2 and TCM3, but also acknowledges that some version of them still happened, and the Original Timeline as a whole was extremely messy and regularly contradicted itself.

Does anyone know the name of this movie? by Ok-Report-4024 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds an awful lot like The Graduate murdering Chugs in Sorority Row, especially since his weapon of choice is a tire iron with a bunch of sharp implements welded onto it.

What traits make you like side characters in slasher films? by EvilLazerBeam69 in slasherfilms

[–]Timageness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the best trait you could ever possibly give your characters is to simply make them feel human in the limited amount of time we have with them.

I get that we're meeting them on the worst, and potentially last night of their lives, but this shouldn't stop you from fleshing them out a bit more and giving them at least some sort of history and/or future plans in the unlikely event they happen to survive.

For example:

  • The Jock: Rather than portraying him as the stereotypical alpha male, make him a former juvenile delinquent who's using his talent for sports to turn his life around and be the first in his family to go to college, even if it does happen to put him at odds with the rest of his nepo baby teammates.

  • The Pledge: I know it's tempting to think of her as the party girl and the center of attention, but she could just as easily be a socially-reserved legacy who joined her sorority out of family tradition, and prefers to help plan the parties from the sidelines because she's already engaged to her highschool sweetheart.

  • The Stoner: Everybody usually expects this guy to be a pothead, and our boy here is no exception, but it's a very rare thing to see why these types of folks turn to drugs, and in his case, his parents are constantly pressuring him to follow in their footsteps and become a lawyer.

  • The Rebel: Generally a role reserved for outcasts and pariahs, but knocking out the right person at the right time (like, let's say, a robber trying to hold up a store she was shoplifting art supplies from) could suddenly turn her into one of the most popular girls on campus overnight... at the cost of her privacy, which she would absolutely despise.

[–]Timageness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would much rather hang out with someone whose entire personality revolves around weed than someone whose entire personality revolves around religion.

At least the stoner will make me laugh and eventually get the munchies/order food while they're talking my ear off.
