Crossovers.


Neither Dorothy and the Witches of Oz or the original mini-series The Witches of Oz were produced by The Asylum, but director/writer Leigh Scott and producer/co-writer/actress/soundtrack composer Eliza Swenson both started their careers at The Asylum, making and/or starring in several films for the company (another Asylum veteran, Sarah Lieving, also cameos in The Witches of Oz as The Wicked Witch of the East).
In addition, I've seen an on-camera interview (I think it was included in the extras on the mini-series' Blu-ray) in which Leigh Scott says he originally pitched The Witches of Oz to The Asylum, but they said it was too elaborate and expensive a project for them to take on.

So although the mini-series and the subsequent movie version were both produced by another company, they still each contain a hefty amount of Asylum DNA. Therefore, I like to think that Dorothy and the Witches of Oz - in which various warring inhabitants of a magical and supposedly fictitious realm breakthrough into our world to continue their conflict - is set in the same continuity or universe as The Asylum's 2015 movie Avengers Grimm (fairy tale princesses re-imagined as superpowered heroines and transported from their home dimension to present-day Los Angeles) and it's 2016 sequel Sinister Squad (which throws characters from Lewis Carroll's Wonderland novels into the mix).
