Crossover Cover: Deep State

 

Are you a fan of the Friday the 13th films?

Then you'll love this novella in Christopher Farnsworth's The President's Vampire series, which has a reference to Crystal Lake, New Jersey, among other crossovers!

For more information, be sure to purchase a copy of my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3 when Meteor House publishes it! All three volumes are AUTHORIZED companions to Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2!

Crossover Movie Poster: Stitches

A clown called Stitches is accidentally killed at a ten-year-old named Tom’s birthday party. Six years later, he returns from the grave seeking revenge. The now-teenage Tom takes a medication called Hypnocil to deal with his visions of Stitches. Hypnocil is from the movies A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and Freddy vs. Jason. Since Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees are in the CU, so is Stitches.

This crossover is only one of hundreds found in my forthcoming book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3! As with the first two volumes, this tome is an AUTHORIZED companion to Win Scott Eckert's books Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2!

Crossover Movie Poster: Friday the 13th

A reboot of the horror franchise. An obnoxious jock named Trent is one of Jason Voorhees’ victims. This is meant to be Trent DeMarco from the movie Transformers, directed by Friday the 13^th producer Michael Bay. Travis Van Winkle played Trent in both films. The events of the Transformers films, involving giant shape-changing robots engaging in very public and destructive battles, are incompatible with CU continuity, and therefore I consider those films and this one as taking place in an AU.

Crossover Movie Poster: Hatchet II

Marybeth Dunstan, the last survivor of a group of tourists slaughtered by the ghostly slasher Victor Crowley, returns to the bayou with a group of hunters and gunmen to end his threat once and for all. The Jack Chop is sold at Reverend Zombie’s store, and the TV in there shows Parker O’Neil saying she’s never going skiing again. Chad asks if Crowley is “like Jason Voorhees or something?,” and refers to the town of Glen Echo and a man called Leslie Vernon. The Jack Chop is from Green’s short film of the same name, while Parker O’Neil is from his film Frozen. The reference to Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series can easily be interpreted as to a real slasher. The town of Glen Echo and Leslie Vernon are from the film Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, which I wrote about in a previous post. Further bolstering the inclusion of the Hatchet series in the CU is a later battle between Crowley and Cassie Hack and Vlad of Hack/Slash fame.

Crossover of the Week

1991

NOT JUST A JOB

            A man Freddy Krueger has chosen as his new human protégé gets a book from the Springwood library that features a chapter on Krueger, as well as “the infamous John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Henry Lee Lucas, as well as less well-known deviants such as Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, and the Sawyer family of Texas.”

            Short story by Nancy A. Collins in Nightmares on Elm Street: Freddy Krueger’s Seven Sweetest Dreams, Martin H. Greenberg, ed., St. Martin’s Press, 1991. Gacy, Bundy, and Lucas are all historical serial killers. Michael Myers is from the Halloween series of movies, Voorhees is from the Friday the 13^th films, and the Sawyer family is from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series of films, furthering the connection between these series.
