Dr. BriggsWhich series would you like revamped continuity on?
#1
Not every horror series takes its timelines as seriously as Saw; that, my friends, is what fans do. With remakes having pretty much come out of everywhere and stopping many old series dead in their tracks, I think it could be cool to take a topic to appreciate the old storylines, and possibly toy with them a bit. I'm talking about taking our old favorite franchises, analyzing their plots, and not remaking them, but creating expanded and possibly more interconnected versions of the things that went down within them.

For instance; what was Jason's home life like? What happened to Michael after "Halloween: Resurrection"? How did Freddy plot his killings? Expect a lot of theories from the POV of the villains in this topic. I'm a bit busy trying to stir up activity in general here, so if anyone could start us off with some theories I would be grateful.

It would of been pretty interesting to what happend after Halloween 6 (producers cut). Michael walks off presumably curse free while Dr Loomis took over. It would be wack but still interesting too see. Sequals to Jason X and Freddy Vs Jason wouldn't be that bad either. Shit Jason could meet Pinhead or Leprechaun up there! Or After Michael became curse free he goes up againest Freddy and Jason. And here's hoping for a Phantasm 5 FTW!! Sorry if that's all over the placeTongue

Not at all, shit, that's basically the kind of speculation I'd be looking for. The end of H6 (either cut really) is a mindfuck for me personally, and could do well to be better connected to the ones that came after (so Michael was free from the curse? Why'd he come back in H20 then, unless you go by the theory that says H20 retcons 4-6).

And yeah, if Jason actually stayed in space he could theoretically collide with and crack open the Elysium configuration from hellraiser: bloodline...

And yes, me want Phantasm V Blue. Believe it or not, my procrastinating ass is still working on that huge crossover that you can see a "poster" for in my profile; in that timeline Mike and Reggie managed to seal the tall man away from earth forever, but Mike continued to transform.

Loomis could be the new michael in H20/Ressurection if its a continuation off of 6, its the only way to explain the dissapearence of loomis and the fact that the curse was passed onto him. So is it a crossover between Phantasm and Hellraiser? That is something I'd be interested in.

That's a very interesting idea, but the question remains of how Loomis got so strong (or even tall for that matter)

Though I have had plans for Phantasm vs. hellraiser, my fan-script doesn't have hellraiser in it. It does draw elements from Nightmare on Elm Street (2, 4 & 5), Puppet Master series, One Dark Night, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Ginger Snaps, Carrie and a whooole bunch of other things.

Hey, kind of off the original topic, but since I'm feeling good tonight about finally getting my shit together and making new topics, you want I should post the first couple of pages to celebrate? Wink

Well now that we have remakes of Jason, Michael, and Freddy I'd like to see some damn sequals! I don't feel TCM will ever get on the right track its been all over the place and they almost had with the remake/prequal and I'm not to confident in lastest TCM reboot.

As corny as this may sound, as a kid, I always wanted to know the backstory of Rumplestiltskin. In the movie, they have a 5 or 6 minute preview and I wanted to see everything before that.

Also, from what Blue said... Salva is doing a prelude to Jeepers Creepers 3 set in the old west. I would love to see a feature length movie on The Creeper terrorizing the west. It'd be like The Wild Bunch with a winged monster.
