No, seriously, don't waste your time. The crossover is ridiculous.

Hey Oddark,
In spite of being in my 70th year, and not even understanding just what crossover fiction is, I really did enjoy the film. After seeing it when it first came out, I just watched it for the second time and still enjoyed it. It gave me a sense of a Victorian version of the Magnificent Seven.
Best wishes,

"Crossover fiction" would simply mean when characters originally from individual works are combined into one. This movie and the comic book it was based on are both examples.
Others include modern tv shows like Penny Dreadful and Once Upon A Time. Theatrical shows like Into the Woods. And book series like Anno Dracula.

Hey Dave,
I can't believe you don't know what crossover fiction is, but you are over 70 now. They just completed an interesting series on FOX of crossover fiction. Perhaps you saw it, but perhaps you didn't. It was called Houdini & Doyle, in which Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle team up with a female police inspector from Scotland Yard to solve paranormal murders. Other characters that appeared in episodes were Thomas Edison and Bram Stoker. The time period was 1901. You might remember those years from your childhood.
I liked the show.

Hey Clint,
Ten thousand comedians in this country are out of work, and you feel compelled to make jokes. Bad jokes. Bad jokes about getting old. Do you know what it is like to get old? Your whole body begins falling apart. It is not pretty. You know, you are starting to look a bit long in the tooth yourself. You know about glass houses and throwing stones?
I have my doubts about the whole crossover fiction idea, but a story including Harry Houdini, Doyle, and a Scotland Yard inspector sounds interesting. I will have to look up that show. Thanks for the lead on it.
Best wishes,
Dave Wile
Crossover fiction is an old concept. French author Maurice Leblanc pitted his gentleman-burglar character Arsene Lupin against "Herlock Sholmes" in his book "The Blonde Lady" in 1908, and again the following year in "The Hollow Needle."
It's even older than that....many folklorists now thing that much of what we consider the canonical King Arthur/Round Table stories are nothing but crossovers, with various stories grafted on over the centuries. They know, for instance, that the earliest versions of the Arthurian stories don't include Merlin, and that he was a mythical character added later...
