You know what gets me?
NonKiller!AU's for the Slashers.
Michael tried to kill his sister, when he was 6. But she managed to stop him and they got him help. He leaves Smithsgrove at 21, just like the movie goes, but this time he's released on good behaviour. His therapy has been working and he takes his medication without even being reminded- he's a high functioning human being; Half bad, half good. To Laurie Strode he's just the carpenter working on the house down the street.
All the way in Texas, the Sawyer brothers are saved from their upbringing early on by the cops when their parents abandon them and Grandpa starts losing feeling in his legs. Bubba's just an infant, Drayton's just turned 13 and the twins are just two manic kids. Miraculously they stayed together in the system, and now they still live together well into adulthood- Drayton says he's irritated as hell but he doesn't kick them out, Bubba's a lollypop lady near the local school, Chop Top went to war and when he came back he needed help but is doing well and spends a bit more of his allowance on vinyl's then he probably should, Nubbins is a small-time photographer helping Drayton with the rent despite how they fight, and they all take care of Grandpa. They're aren't doing great, but every Friday is leftovers night and its like a little party.
Chucky and Tiffany broke up, and this time they never get back together. Glen and Glenda live with Chucky every other week, though Glenda is starting to get sick of of it (Getting thrown around constantly like a fucking Frisbee) in her teenage years and gets closer and closer to moving out too-early with every fight they have. Glen's picked his dumb parents up from jail too many times growing up but he couldn't give up on them even if he tried, because he sees the good in them; How his father beams with pride whenever the twins achieve something (Even if its not the thing he wanted them to achieve) and how his mother constantly shows she just wants them to be happy and nothing else really matters.
Across the country, Jason works with kids at a high school; Tries to help them, give them a person to talk to about things or just sit with. Tattoo's run up his arms and lick out the colour of his t-shirts, and they look gnarly (He got them to distract people from his head), but they remind him of what's important he tells his teenagers, it doesn't matter what other people think of you. He also offered his services online as the internet blew up and one of his teenagers who especially resonated with his help on there was called Kathy Krueger.
Freddy's a divorced, bisexual father in the 50's suburbia who doesn't seem to give one single fuck that other people hate him (He grew up like that) and he's irritatingly resourceful so no matter what they do legally, they cant get rid of him- he pops right back and takes great joy in shoving his existence in peoples faces (He's a survivor so fuck all of you). And he's not a perfect father by a long shot but he's always there at Kath's school things and is always good for dad jokes to lighten the mood.
Its not until they're in their 50's that Jason and Freddy meet- Jason's taking a cross-country road trip after his mother dies, to clear his head, and he makes a stop in a town called Springwood where he meets a man whose mouthiness has only gotten worse with age- and- and- is this man checking him out in the grocery store??
Meanwhile Billy and Stu are two boys watching horror movies in their bedrooms together, afraid of how other people would react to finding out they kiss together, too.
