How are the "From Dusk Till Dawn" (trilogy), "Kill Bill" and "Grindhouse" movies connected?

Thought I would share something I just discovered with you.

This takes some work, but all of the above films all exist within the same movie universe. There are several links between all of the movies that can be made. The best link is the character of Earl McGraw (played by Michael Parks) who appears in most of the movie's by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. McGraw dies at the start of From Dusk Till Dawn, so this would place From Dusk Til Dawn's events at the end of the timeline. Then there is Jasper who is alive in the Death Proof segment of Grindhouse, but dies in Kill Bill Vol 1. There is also the link of El Wray from the Planet Terror segment of Grindhouse and the town that Seth Gecko and Richard Gecko were heading to in From Dusk Til Dawn, which was also called "El Wray". Another link is Dr. Dakota Block who appears in both the Death Proof and Planet Terror segments of Grindhouse, and this is the best place to start. Dr Dakota Block is also the daughter of Earl McGraw and sister of Edgar McGraw who also appears in Kill Bill Vol 1 and From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money.

From this you can start to piece together the chronology of the universe. The events of Death Proof must happen before the events of Planet Terror. This can be assumed by the relationship between Dr Dakota Block and Earl McGraw that is frayed in Death Proof and most of Planet Terror, but they do make up by the end of Planet Terror. Also the lack of "sickos" in Death Proof would suggest this is before Planet Terror. Plus, Block leaves at the end of Planet Terror, but is back working in the hospital in Death Proof. There is also a mention "in memory of" over the radio of Jungle Julia from Death Proof in the events of Planet Terror. So far, we have (1) Death Proof and (2) Planet Terror.

Then we can move on to Jasper. As he is alive in Death Proof but dies in Kill Bill Vol 1, that would place the (current) events of Kill Bill Vol 1 and Kill Bill Vol 2 after the events of Death Proof. Thus, (1) Death Proof, (2) Planet Terror, (3) Kill Bill Vol 1, and (4) Kill Bill Vol 2. Then onto Earl McGraw who is alive in Death Proof, Planet Terror, and Kill Bill Vol 1 but is killed in From Dusk Til Dawn, leading us to (1) Death Proof, (2) Planet Terror, (3) Kill Bill Vol 1, (4) Kill Bill Vol 2, and (5) From Dusk Til Dawn. But you have to include From Dusk Til Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money and From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter. Edgar McGraw makes reference to the events and death of his father Earl in FDTD2: Texas Blood Money, which obviously sets this film after From Dusk Til Dawn. Then FDTD3: The Hangman's Daughter is actually a prequel set in the 1800's, therefore it's the earliest of the connections.

In sum, chronologically the films go: (1) From Dusk Til Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter, (2) Death Proof, (3) Planet Terror, (4) Kill Bill Vol 1, (5) Kill Bill Vol 2, (6) From Dusk Til Dawn, and (7) From Dusk Til Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money.

So why not watch then in chronological order next time you have the chance.
