I've never liked the Xmen vs Hall of Justive mashups because it tore at the fabric of those separate universes. They were interesting experiments but much like our 'choose five super heroes' thread we have a hard time trying to formulate the rules that bind the separate universes.
I think this is the critical point of any new theme you develop. How do you combine elements from disparate universes in a way that doesn't unravel a player's emotional attachment to that particular entity? What's the common denominator?
Well in this type of setting Horror all stems from the same enviorment, Heaven and Hell. All things listed above are the mythology of those two entities and removes all limits. Vampires, Werewolves, Liches, Zombies Angels and Demons are part of the same mythology.
We aren't combining different universes we are just completely opening up christian dogma.
The common denominator is Heaven and Hell.
