I think it's basically because most of the characters aren't owned by the same company and they don't want to share the profits.

Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys exist.

Make money but have to share some of it or don't make money.

>Leatherface and his WV cousins

It's literally called "The TEXAS Chainsaw Massacre"

Do you not have any family members who live in other states?

This.

Companies are usually very hesitant to collaborate on projects with competing companies.

That's why we will never EVER see any movie or video game having to do with Marvel heroes meeting DC heroes.

>making up characters
what are you talking about?

Sup Forums is always right I guess

I've not seen this movie, or any of them really, but isn't there a complete mismatch in the abilities of Freddy and Jason?

One is a dream based murder clown and the other is an immortal giant from what I can gather. Isn't Jason entirely OP?

Yep

We only got Freddy vs Jason because New Line finally had the rights to both characters

There was talk of doing a Freddy/Jason movie featuring Ash from Evil Dead and Pinhead from Hellraiser but those two characters are owned by other studios

I want Terminator vs Pinhead

Yeah, it sucks. Could have had some fun times.

So you believe Leatherface couldn't have any family members in other states because they haven't shown up in any of the past movies, despite the fact that new family members show up in every single movie?

Did the implication go over your head?

Does every Sup Forums thread have to bring up Sup Forums?

I would kill to have Hitman-Splinter Cell crossover

The movie favored Freddy so when they fought in the dream realm Freddy was able to almost kill him by drowning him, despite the fact that Jason has spent decades underwater without it bothering him. Then when Freddy gets summoned to the real world he bobs and weaves around all of Jasons strikes while stabbing him and then lures Jason to a construction site and the movie turns into a Looney Tunes cartoon.

I want a Pumpkinhead/Friday the 13th crossover.

I'm still disappointed Freddy didn't get more kills. They gave Jason all the fun stuff.

Freddy steals souls, Jason kills. Its not even a real contest.

>that dual kill where Freddy kills the passed out chick and Jason fucks over the raver rapist
Badass.

The end fight was literally the best part of the movie.
>mfw I first saw Karate Freddy drop an elbow on Jason

Tall Man vs Pinhead

I know, I'm just more of an Elm Street fan. I still enjoy the movie though. Aside from the shitty cg Freddypillar.

Even though the studio execs would consider it dull, the real fight is Jason vs Michael, who is the evilest incarnation of evil.
Minimal dialogue.

>no chucky vs leprechaun
pleb

>Leatherface takes a Wrong Turn at The Hills Have Eyes

desu i'd love a movie where jason and michael try to kill eachother but then decide that they're better off killing everyone tag team style
youtube.com/watch?v=wqjbIu47PZo

Fucking kek m8
Would watch that in a heartbeat just for the title alone.

The most people Freddy has ever killed is about a dozen in his second movie. In every other movie he only kills 3 to 6.

Jason in his first appearance killed 9, 12 in part 3, 14 in part 4 and in every movie since part 6 he's killed 16 to 23 people. there are single Friday the 13th movies where Jason kills half of the number of people Freddy has killed in every one of his movies.

Sure, it's just, as I recall, Freddy only killed one person in FvJ. I suppose he did have an influence on some of Jason's kills though, to be fair. Like I said, I have a bias.

Jason isn't evil. After he almost drowned he spent like 20 years living innawoods not bothering anybody and only started killing because he saw him mom get beheaded in front of him, and even after that he's perfectly willing to live in peace and not bother anybody. The problem is fucktards keep coming to the camp where over a hundred people have been killed. Also he doesn't kill dogs or kids.

Michael on the other hand killed his sister at a very young age and wants to kill the rest of his family and anyone who gets in his way. He's killed dogs and tried to kill a kid.

i have it
comfy movie

Didn't Jason try to kill Tommy when he was a kid?

No. Tommy even distracted Jason and Jason didn't try to kill him.

Fuck i love this movie. This stupid fucking faggot on letterbox said it was bad and no one should watch it when it's literally the best film in both respective franchises.

Name a Puppet Master movie that isn't comfy.

I really can't agree with you there, but it's definitely fun as fuck.

I'm still astounded as to how we're living in the last years of cinematic universes and New Line hasn't bought all the slasher villains (they're prolly cheap as fuck, Chucky sequels are coming straight to fucking Blu-Ray), or at least bought some to start with, like Halloween for the Jason vs MM movie, or at least the rights to the Evil Dead to finally do the thing.

Pinhead was supposed to cameo at the end of FvJ but they couldn't get the rights.

New Line merged into Warner Bros and they forced Bob Shaye out (CEO of New Line and massive horror fan)
He's also the guy who said yes to LOTR and said it should be three films instead of the two originally planned
Basically Bob is based and would've probably bought up the rights to the other slashers but he's out of the game now and New Line is just another boring corporation

Forgot my pic
He cameo'd in a few of the elm st movies

...

It was kinda sad listening to him talking about New Line in Never Sleep Again. He really had ambition.

Yeah what happened was pretty shit. Still, at least he went out with LOTR. Can't top that.

Just chiming in to say that Dolls is a super underrated movie if you enjoy the killer toy genre.

That's true. He had a damn good run.

>Tfw no Chucky vs Leprechaun in the hood 3

this destroyed these.
that's why.

I'm sure Disney will buy DC when it shrivels up and dies from being grim dark for 40 years.

>Not Back 2 tha Hood
Big mistake, my man.

bloody-disgusting.com/news/3316014/chucky-vs-annabelle-dream-childs-play-creator/
>The creator of Child’s Play, and director of both Seed of Chucky and Curse of Chucky, dreams of a horror battle in the vein of Freddy vs Jason (a monster success for New Line Cinema in 2003).

>This past weekend, Annabelle, the haunted doll film that was spun off from The Conjuring, nearly won box office gold, but still opened huge for an R-rated genre film.

>Mancini talked to USA Today about the dream of pitting Chucky, from the Child’s Play films, against the Annabelle doll.

>“I am hoping that at some future point we have Annabelle and Chucky team up,” says Mancini. “I can see that (even) in 20 years from now.”

>There might even be a cameo for Annabelle in the seventh Child’s Play film, which Mancini is writing now.

>“We would be into it, the only problem is that we are in different studios. That would probably be years worth of red tape to work it out,” says Mancini. “But if it all could be worked out, then yes, we’re very into it.”

>There is even a power connection. Explains the site, Annabelle director John Leonetti was the director of photography for 1991’s Child’s Play 3.

I would actually watch this if it happened.

Leprechaun vs Jason vs Pinhead In Space

Short answer: jews.

Longer answer is that studios are fucking greedy and will refuse to be fair about merchandise money and shit.

Shocker vs Fallen

People don't like to share money between properties. There's a higher profit margin by releasing their own character in a shite movie, and making a crossover that ends up being a hit.

>That FvJ took over a decade to be made

>doesn't suggest Jason vs. Leatherface
it's almost like you haven't read the comic

Some horror crossovers were almost made after Freddy vs. Jason. Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, Freddy vs. Jason vs. Pinhead, Pinhead vs. Michael Myers, Pinhead vs. Candyman and Candyman vs. Leprechaun (yes) all almost happened. The problem (aside from copyright) is that there isn't much of a reason for these characters to crossover. How the fuck they envisioned Pinhead/Michael, I don't know.

The best you can get is Terrordrome and Mortal Kombat X, if you want to see any crossovers. Some guy on YouTube has a few fan-made fights, too, but they're whatever.

Yeah, plus, at this point, I have to wonder how much of an audience there is for a crossover. There aren't really any big modern horror franchises outside of Saw at this point. I remember talking about all the 80s slashers (that we hadn't even seen yet) with my friends when we were in middle school, but that was 15 years ago. I don't know if they have the same appeal anymore.

maybe crossover kino will be the new trend after capeshit dies out. godzilla vs king kong comes out soon, maybe thatll do something.

Studios won't do it unless they own both characters. Dimension own both Hellraiser and Scream. So unless people want to see that, I don't think we'll see another slasher crossover again.

Retro Puppet Master

>Slasher Cinematic Universe
I've been literally asking for this shit since 2012.
Fucking hell I've even dreamt of being the Feige for New Line and have all the 3 phases set up, fucking kill me

The Rifftrax edition is fun. Otherwise, terrible movie

Are any of the Puppet Master movies actually good? I've only seen clips from later movies.

No. They're all bad. People just liked how the puppets in the sequels looked. They stopped being horror altogether with the third one.

>Are any of the Puppet Master movies actually good?
They're b-movie style camp. They have their charm.

Maybe I should've asked if there are some in particular that you have fun watching. Charles Band makes goofy shit, so I don't expect them to be scary.
I'm down with camp. Which ones would you recommend?

>I'm down with camp. Which ones would you recommend?
If you got the time, watch them all from the beginning.

I think there was a Puppet Master collection released recently on DVD. Rather cheap as well.

Just be warned they're low budget indy flicks and they'll show that off. Especially in the earlier ones. lol

>That's why we will never EVER see any movie or video game having to do with Marvel heroes meeting DC heroes.

That's what people said before Amalgam comics became a thing.

>Just be warned they're low budget indy flicks and they'll show that off

That's all of Full Moon.

They're an endearing Horror studio.

And that's all I need.

How was that Grudge vs Ring movie?

Well we got Sadako vs Kayako last year which was The Ring vs The Grudge (ju-on)

Michael Myers has a magic family curse that turned him into a monster. Pinhead was some guy who fucked around with magic and turned into a monster.

How hard is it to tie those two concepts together and create a crossover? Maybe the Cenobites find out about Michael and try to recruit him but his magic fucks with their magic and everything goes to shit.

>cinematic universe

What if the Aliens and Predators came to earth and we had no choice but to turn to slasher villains to save us? Would be pure horror kino.

Legacy.

Fuck that "movie."

And pretty much everything that came after 5 was shit.

Bruce Campbell says it's basically because of lawyers.

Each IP holder and their legal team wants to make absolutely sure that "their" character either wins or doesn't lose because they don't want to look worse than the other one because it will "degrade their brand" or whatever.

This is why we never got a Freddy vs Jason vs Ash, and it's the reason why literally every crossover either ends in a tie or ends with one franchise looking like the winner but surprise in the last ten seconds they're not.
