I've always theorized that every Resident Evil movie is told from a different clone which is why Alice always repeats her name in the intro and why there are so many damn plot holes erasing moments from previous films since each Alice doesn't share the same memory or experience. We all know the writer of those movies didn't think that much into the films tho lol.

[@alfonzodozier5440]

Great theory never thought about that

[@Dovah_Slayer]

Yeah lol

[@kingjaries]

This is a great theory

[@kinnkitz8011]

I think the only thing for me that doesn't back that theory is by I think the 3rd or 4th movie when they're scouring through the dessert for supplies and it seems like Umbrella has put maybe a chip in her brain. In the desert movie shes interacting with a character from a previous film who she trusts and know. Unless... I guess Cyborg/Clone Alice had OG Alice's memories from the previous films..?

[@ladylimarose4568]

Wow that’s a great theory!

[@jackmackakaheavyguyhaiku545]

I have a horror movie theory that not many have thought about. Freddy Kruger is Nancy Thompson's birth father. Hear me out. - Who has Freddy's glove after he dies? Nancy's mother, Marge. Perhaps a memento of a former lover. - Who says that Freddy's reign of terror is her fault? Marge - Who's the only adult victim of Mr. Kruger in the first film? Marge - Who is a leader of Freddy's mob? Mama Thompson My theory holds that Marge was afraid that Freddy may tell Donald of the affair, even Nancy's parentage, if Marge ever even told Fred himself. One final possibility that piggybacks on another's theory: what if Freddy was innocent. Marge may have fostered, or even started, the rumor of Freddy's guilt. What do you think? Could Freddy be Nancy's dad?

[@mygreywolf]

That is so plausible that I'm surprised Wes didn't go with that at some point.

[@nah9538]

This ain’t a bad theory

[@isaiahach]

i had a similar thought. maybe Freddy was wrongfully accused and that could explain why he's so vengeful and angry about them killing him. like he was one of those people who didn't understand boundaries and never considered how his behavior/actions might look to others. one of the mothers was creeped out by him so she got her kid to lie about something happening. she only wanted him to get fired and never thought her husband and other parents would react the way they did

[@mygreywolf]

@@isaiahach That's more of the impression I got off the remake. Ike Eisenmann just isn't as scary as Robert Englund.

its a good theory but one problem freddy's dead the final nightmare you meet his daughter who is one little girls seen in multiple films

[@llongone2]

The Predators are shown deliberately placing Alien eggs on planets to later go down and hunt in Dark Horse comics. It's not a fan theory.

[@Truckerdaddy]

Another part of all that would be that the Engineers created the xenomorphs and that the Yautja hate the Engineers. That's why AHAB wanted to kill one.

[@olliesmith1102]

The video is literally titled “that turned out to be true”… they were shown deliberately putting eggs down in AVP… the theory probably pre-dates that. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

It's pretty much insinuated in avp as well. But I don't consider the alien predator crossover as canon in either franchise

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

​@@Truckerdaddythe engineers didn't create the xenomorphs, they stumbled upon them and worshipped them as the perfect being, Ie gods. The First Deacon can be seen on display in a Christ like pose in Prometheus.

The director of Cloverfield recently retconned the origin of the monster as being from space and not the ocean like JJ originally stated when it was released. Originally the thing falling in the ocean at the end was supposed to be a satellite, but now it’s apparently the monster arriving on an asteroid or something. I much prefer the deep sea origin of Clovey.

Michael is more pure evil personified rather than being cursed imo based on what's said in the original films and it's cool that they did the Uber-Deadite link with Jason. It absolutely fits.

[@sympatheticflake890]

depends on the timeline

[@l3theeagle189]

I didn’t like the idea that the characters had to be apart of Jason’s family in order to kill him I thought the idea of him being a deadite and that “only a voorhees can kill a voorhees was bs

[@jacknecron123]

@@sympatheticflake890 True, though I figure Carpenter's original vision is along those lines.

[@jacknecron123]

@L3 The Eagle Yeah that aspect of it was very silly. I do like the idea of Jason being a super Deadite and that the franchises are linked.

[@DerzDoez-hm4xp]

They have scrapped the idea in regards to have released a film based on a Michael Myers Halloween occult and to Michael Myers being resurrected with near supernatural immortality rather than being "pure evil personified" plus they originally had plans on making Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees as cousins.

[@dragonjames7911]

Jason being a deadite does make a whole lot of sense 😈

[@UncleOf5]

But that has been debunked though

[@martinmalenak366]

How does it make sense? Because the necronomicon was placed in 1 of the films without any explanation? Jason was very much a human until the filmakers decided Part 4 made enough money to greenlight 5, which bombed, because it did not have the real Jason in it. The filmakers are literally throwing darts on a target with plot ideas and go with the 1 the dart lands on, so in Part 6 they reincarnated him like Frankenstein. They made 1 more, then sold the rights to New line, because they did not know wtf to do with this franchise anymore. New line did not even buy the trademark name F13, only bought the character, so all New line films had Jason in the title, and just because Sam Raimis fan boy was the director of Jason goes to hell, and placed a Necronomicon as an tribute to Evil dead, everyone should believe now that Jason is a Deadite?

The deadite idea is awful the writing for that movie was horrible not the dumbest in the series but it was dumb I didn’t like the idea of only a voorhees could kill a voorhees that part was as dumb as the idea that Jason was afraid of water that was presented in Freddy vs Jason

[@Silenthitman44]

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

Actually thinking on it, it probably was best for Kirby to return in Scream VI since Sidney didn't return. Kirby filled in as the supporting older generation character Sam and her friends and sister needed besides Gale.

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

She doesn’t relate to Sam in terms of being related to evil but she knows what its like to be a victim/survivor of a killer plot of those closest to her.

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

From what I understood that was enough for Sam to keep trusting Kirby and agree to contact her any time. Gale is supportive in her own way, but she never had the connections to some of the ghostface killers Sidney and Kirby had whether it was boyfriend friend or family that made them think they knew that person well until it was revealed they were the killer. Something I came to be familiar in many cases involving evil even in real life from the Docu-series 'Evil Lives Here' And why I believe the true masters of evil are those that can hide their evil from those closest to them

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

As it turns out: it also helped that Kirby was a senior in high school when Sam started her freshman year so the two got to meet each other in high school

[@katz0625]

And James McAvoy is a damn genius!!! Looooooove him!!! It’s heartbreaking to know that a lot of actor in the horror genre got so absorbed in their roles they ended up not being the same afterwards.

In a way Dr. Sleep movie confirmed the possibility of Jack being a reincarnated spirit because although the hotel never was destroyed in the end of the movie the Shining the Spirits of the Hotel was able to escape the hotel to haunt Danny. So something must have made it where Jack's past life's spirit was able to escape the hotel to be reborn.

I always viewed Jason as internal revenge for what happened to him. Granted it could be a demon that allows him to keep coming back, same as they did with Freddy. But i prefer to think its their constant anger and need for vengenence that keep them returning. But being a deadite is more fun than being a generic boring demon.

[@multitudeofidols]

I like how a prop used as an in-joke for one movie has the deadite theory prevail when the original myth of Crystal Lake being cursed works just as fine.

[@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702]

Hold on, wait a minute. If Mama Voorhees had the necronomicon, maybe she found a spell to bring Jason back, but needed blood sacrifices which is why she started killing. Her death became the last sacrifice needed, and Jason came back as a vengeful zombie. But because of the book, she was able to whisper to Jason into making her an altar so she can remain tethered to him and control him. When her altar was destroyed, she lost control and the Deadites could now use Jason as a host body to go on murder sprees but only Crystal Lake because (insert BS reason here). When the Deadites inside Jason finally left from his multiple deaths, he's sent to Hell because (BS reason), so in his years of rage and murder as a puppet, he finally becomes a Demon with the body of a Tainted Deadite that can come back to life that he can use over and over

Their is another horror movie theory from Blair Witch. Sarah is the Blair Witch. I think at the end instead of killing her, someone did a ritual and made her the new Blair Witch.

[@TheMulToyVerse]

I kinda checked out after the first Final Destination… the trailers for the follow-ups didn’t grab my attention as much and I stopped paying attention Though I heard that Pt. 5 was good, this one moment here makes me wonder: If I’d just spent an entire movie running all over the place trying to escape premonitions of death and watching my friends die in peculiar manners that all seem incredibly unlikely in a normal setting, and then I saw some dude make a big scene calling out about a doomed flight much like I had about a train, you’d think I’d ere on the side of caution and vacate the plane as well since I’d just been through such an ordeal My theory? Death has gotten bored and gives people a chance to (temporarily) elude their fate. Death is making a game of it now and grants intuition to a person… until Death tires of that person and then takes that intuition away before passing it on to another challenger. It explains why the survivor dude sees the first movie get set up but brushes it off with complete disregard Ultimately everyone dies eventually, but not because they slipped up, but rather because Death decides to quite playing with the mouse and finally makes the kill that it could have made right away

The Shining theory I ascribe to, which contradicts the novel(that Kubrick acknowledges he took many liberties with), is that Wendy is psychotic. When continuity errors occur with the sets, it is Wendy just imagining things. For example, the TV Wendy is watching is not plugged in, and Danny is not paying attention it. But Wendy is. She is imagining that a show is playing. After Wendy takes a baseball bat to Jack, she doesn't drag his body to the pantry, but to the maze...where Jack freezes to death. She is also the person who strangles Danny.

[@mygreywolf]

There was one theory forgotten but probably a lot lesser known. If you watched "Friday the 13th: The Series," about the cursed objects as well as the Jason Voorhees movies then you will know this. They actually intended to wrap the series by trying to track down a cursed hockey mask... Great series!

[@rebeccalove9169]

@rebeccalove9169 I found it on late night CBS initially. Got my Mom hooked on it. Then it moved to channel 11 in L.A. Thank God for TV Guide back then. How did you find the series? Chris Wiggins passed in 2017. So maybe Robey could return for a new cast and cursed objects?

[@rebeccalove9169]

@mygreywolf my sis and dad and I loved that show I don't remember how we found it or what channel it was on but the episode I remember the most is the one with pocket mirror. Where the lady could stay young I think? I remember her in a black dress and black veil. But yeah that would make for a good new series these days!

[@mygreywolf]

@rebeccalove9169 I found the series on DVD on Amazon. So I guess I will settle for that in the meantime. Unfortunate how the show was suddenly canceled during the 3rd season. I was looking forward to the cursed hockey mask. 🙃

[@mygreywolf]

I can't believe I have actually seen everyone of these movies. It's been so long since I've watched "Being John Malkovich," I completely missed the Catherine Keener crossover. We do need a Bludworth backstory for the "Final Destination" series. Tony Todd is too great at his craft for him and us to not find out how the heck he knows so much. Bummer his name wasn't Bludworth when he creepily appeared on "Riverdale." 😂

[@gspendlove]

It's my belief that Bludworth was the Grim Reaper himself, toying with the survivors just for the evulz. He gives them tips on how to survive Death's rampages, but in the end they all end up taking a dirt nap anyway because Death observes no rules. Bludworth is the actual Boogeyman, taking them when he feels like it.

[@mygreywolf]

@gspendlove That is the most viable of the theories. It is possible he could have somehow beat death. But then again it could loop us back to being the Grim Reaper. I know Tony would enjoy a backstory movie as well. 😊

Jason isn't human. Look what they did to him. Drowned,riddled with bullets,frozen. Michael Myers isn't human either. He's pure evil. Demon. Great list :)

[@LlorDrei]

There is actually a question in my mind towards whether Jason is actually a deadite, or not. That is to say, I am in no way denying he was brought back with the Necronomicon... I fully accept and believe this, personally. What I am saying, is, in the Ash vs. Evil Dead TV series, it was shown the Necronomicon can not only summon deadites... Candarian demon cannon fodder made from resurrected or corrupted human beings, with enhanced natural and supernatural abilities... but, it can also summon higher level, rarely seen, Candarian demons. It is shown that Jason is basically immortal, and has a demon living in his heart. This seems beyond the abilities of a standard deadite. I believe his mother actually summoned a higher level Candarian demon to resurrect her son, so he is, in effect, a Candarian demon, not a deadite.

One thing that always bothered me about the Xenomorph skull in Predator 2 is that it's a skull. They're are more like insects. They don't have interior skulls.

Right? They have exoskeletons lol. The only one with a skull would be the hybrid one in Resurrection

[@adamt4214]

I can see maybe when Jason died originally being embodied by a demon but from my memory of the first movie as a child he wasn't evil so this could be a interesting plot point that his mother was a witch doing black magic and danming her son soul which could also be the reason for his birth defects a strain on her unborn child for practicing the dark arts

[@martinmalenak366]

Could be, and it would probably make for a better script than what all Jason films had combined, but it was never mentioned or explained, so it will forever remain only a theory.

And you had to watch Mojo to realize it? The begining of the film is an Engineer dying and giving life to a dead planet, literally God creating life. The theory about Jesus being Engineer, and the other Engineers planning an attack to avenge Jesus was never said in the film, but you can easily imagine it. No big reveal for me. Btw.

That's cool that Stephen King said the addition of Richie being gay was brilliant. I know a lot of writers often say that their characters become real to them in a way, and it's not so much the writer using them as puppets to tell a story, but the characters telling their story to the writer. Lynn Johnston of _For Better or For Worse_ said something along those lines in one of her anthologies, saying the characters take on a mind of their own in sometimes frightening ways, and some of the things you originally thought were true about them actually aren't because they correct you about it. (The rest of this is an overly long "cool story bro" that will likely only be interesting to people who relate to this concept, so you're forewarned!) I've actually experienced this in developing fictional characters with friends of mine who are writers (I'm an illustrator). It sounds crazy, but it's like you have conversations with them in your head as you're brainstorming, and they tell you if you're wrong about something. If you try to force what you're wrong about, the character basically goes _poof,_ stops cooperating, and writer's/artist's block sets in. One of the craziest instances of that happening was between me and a friend who lived 600 miles away from me but I talked to her daily either on the phone or online, which was when we'd do our "plotting". I was in art school, and we were developing a new character. We were trying to find out what his name was. We got the first name hammered down and the fact that it wasn't short for something else, it was just that name. The weird part was the last name. During the day I was thinking about it while trying to sketch his design during some downtime between classes, and I kept getting a very stock, stereotypically common nondescript last name, "Smith". I thought no, that must just be a placeholder. There's no way that's his last name. Then he up and left and my drawing turned to shit. Hours later I was on the phone with my friend and telling her about my day, and I got to that part but didn't give the name until she finally asked, a little hesitant. I told her, "Smith." After a beat of silence, she said, "....that's exactly what I got today, too, while I was driving. And I had the same thought, that it couldn't possibly be something that common and kind of cliche. Then he got pissy and _poof-ed_ on me." His last name was Smith from then on, and we had one of our long-time main characters riff on that by teasing him about it. "Well at least you have a really strong, _distinctive_ last name: _Smith."_

[@rabbitraisin]

My characters mostly write their own dialogue lmao. It's not coming from me 90% of the time.

Terribly researched on the part fo the AVP movie as Predators breeding Alien's isn't just a fan theory that was confirmed by the film though, it was part of the storyline from the comics and books in the 90s, which were the initial movie adaptation pitch was going to be following, but it was never picked up by producers at the time and was mostly scrapped for the film that we did get.

Jason may be a deamon, but he's not a deadite. Doesn't follow the patterns of any lore. However, the Necronomicon isn't limited to dealing with Deadites. Those are just the main minions of the Dark Ones. Others can be summoned, commanded, manipulated through the book's use, or directly by the Dark Ones. So, Jason might either be a Dark One, or a demon of some other type.

[@Pyrothepyro1]

In The Thing, we actually do find out who is a "thing" at the end of the first movie: neither MacReady nor Childs are a "thing". They're both human. In a John Carpenter-sanctioned video game sequel to the movie, also called "The Thing" for the original Xbox and PS2 (sanctioned because John Carpenter gave the developers plot details to help make the game, AND has a voice cameo as a sign of his support for the game's development). In the game, Childs is shown to have died from exposure ("things" don't die from the cold, they go dormant) and MacReady flies a helicopter to rescue the game's main character (if Mac was a thing after the first movie, he'd have taken over the world rather than go back to Antarctica to rescue a few people).

10:20 as someone who used to own a VHS Taped Copy of BWP back in the 90's year, the events that was told from that movie were mostly deemed as *fake* from both the footage and it's time that it was recorded, this spoof would go to make 3 overall game series spanning *what happened* during the series before it got remade in 2016 as was discarded as *false rumored* since then as no one couldn't *full detail the whereabouts nor deduce it's mystery* behind who the BW *actually was in appearace* other then being a spectral demon.
