History Main / FantasyKitchenSink

* The mythological allusions in ''VideoGame/{{La-Mulana}}'' range freely from Japanese to Egyptian to Mesoamerican.

* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' began with the simple story of a cyborg PhlebotinumRebel from an evil Nazi-esque organisation, then slowly began to involve [[KamenRiderAmazon multiple]] [[KamenRiderOOO ancient civilisations]], [[KamenRiderBlackRX aliens]], [[KamenRiderKiva every variety of monster you can think of]], [[KamenRiderHibiki supernatural martial arts using the power of sound]], [[KamenRiderRyuki alternate worlds you can enter through shiny surfaces]], [[KamenRiderDecade a universe-destroying journey through all of those things]], and a mysterious power originating in [[Series/KamenRiderFourze space]]. They all regularly team up in movies, and nobody makes a big deal of the fact that a vampire and [[{{Kamen Rider Den-O}} a body-swapping oni]] are kicking monsters until they explode.

* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}''

* ''WebComic/GroovyKinda'' features: A beautiful female robot; a gay Neanderthal, a Neanderthal security guard, a cat girl who may be from Venus, a small six legged land Octopus named Robespierre, zeppelins, UFOs, and beatniks.

** Possibly [[Fridge Brilliance]], as nearly all of the information in the main series games is provided by the humans from many regions and thus posessing many beliefs that can clash.

** Its base series, ''SuperSentai'', didn't count as this for some time because each season took place in a different universe. Then along came ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', in which all sentai ''are'' in the same verse, and the sentai teams must teach a [[RagTagBunchOfMisfits Ragtag Bunch of]] [[SpacePirate Space Pirates]] how to use their powers, be they magical, technological, or anything in between.

* ''PoltergeistTheLegacy'' was all about this trope. Various episodes featured ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, mummies and genies.

* {{Neopets}} is filled with a huge variety of locales and pets that fit with fantasy, mythological, and science-fiction themes. These include Aliens, Faeries, Dragons/Medieval Fantasy, Dinosaurs, Ghosts, Robots, Pirates, and Cute Fluffy Things
* EquestrianLegends has, of course, everything in WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic canon, as well as other creatures from myth and legend.
* JesuOtaku critisizes SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman for seeming to borrow it's fantasy world from other works instead of trying to create one of its own.
* Stories in TheWanderersLibrary range from science fiction to urban fantasy and often blend genres. The Library itself acts as a waypoint between many, many universes, so almost any sort of patron can be found there.

* Elizabeth Bear's ''NewAmsterdam'' mixes Alternate History (the American colonies still belong to Britain in the early 20th century), SteamPunk (Zeppelins) and WeirdScience (Nicola Tesla's broadcast energy and death ray) with FunctionalMagic, vampires, werecreatures and ghosts.

* ''SoonIWillBeInvincible'', a send-up of classic superhero comics. The world's premiere superteam consists of [[CaptainErsatz Captain Ersatzs]] for {{Superman}} and {{Batman}}, the daughter of a retired superhero and a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe, a wizard with [[GreenLanternRing vaguely defined powers]], a [[TheFairFolk fairy]], a BeastMan, and a HollywoodCyborg. Their enemies are likewise suitably diverse.

** The Pokémon anime takes this a step further. At various points we've had (human) psychics, [[KiAttacks aura]], non-Pokémon ghosts, HumongousMecha, magic (albeit very little), HardLight Holograms, at least one superhero (albeit a aged {{Batman}} parody), ToonPhysics, WeirdScience, Cloning, and a talking cat.

* There are different types of supernatural killers in the form of [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]], [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]], [[Film/{{Hellraiser}} Pinhead]], [[Film/ChildsPlay Chucky]], and [[Franchise/EvilDead Evil Ash]] (formerly a Kandarian demon with even more fearsome powers until he merged with Ash's dark side). They all have different origins (though Jason's and Evil Ash's are closer to each other) and different powers, often associated with different types of darkness that have nothing to do with each other. [[Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] isn't even supernatural at all despite being as big a horror icon. Yet ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'', ''BrideOfChucky'', and ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' indicate that all seven timelines are joined together. At least Freddy and Jason definitely are.

* JimButcher's ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' has wizards, faeries, at least four kinds of vampires, ghosts, demons, ghouls, five types of werewolves, [[EldritchAbominations Lovecraftian Old Ones]], numerous Christian/Biblical references.... Mostly in the stories, they stick to European mythology, although other creatures from other myths have been mentioned to exist. However, the different races do interact in alliances and power struggles (in the books, at least), and it's ''only'' fantasy; no robots or aliens.

** You forgot ESP, EldritchAbominations, alternate universes, a deadly cyberspace WilliamGibson would shake his head at, nanotechnology, laser guns, personal force fields, the chick way too in love with violence, time travel, AGodAmI, and super-powered government agents. Though a few of those don't show up in the first book.

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': Among other things it has wizards, witches, dwarves, trolls ([[OurTrollsAreDifferent sentient beings made of rock]]), golems, [[TheFairFolk elves]], gnomes, phoenixes, vampires, werewolves, zombies, [[TheIgor Igors]], time traveling monks, dragons, [[{{Magitek}} a magical computer]], [[AC:{{Death}}]], an orangutan librarian, [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], [[ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow Big Green Things With Teeth]], gods, bureaucratic demons, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Nobby Nobbs]], sentient luggage, [[ThePowerOfRock Music with Rocks In]], heroes, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking kangaroos]]. But the series did start out as a fantasy satire, so fair enough.

* ''C.J. Carella's {{Witchcraft}}'' has the standard monsters of mythology, witches/wizards, Immortals with Magic-tech, gods, angels and Eldritch Abominations and a myriad of magical traditions to draw from.

* [[Videogame/TheSecretWorld The Secret World]] is a perfect example of this trope. From [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]], [[LovecraftianTropes Cthulu]], [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Zombies]], risen Egyptian [[TheUndead mummies]], a special [[MayanDoomsday Mayan Doomsday]] event, a friendly {{Sasquatch}}, [[SovietSuperscience Soviet Superscience]], [[TheUndead Drowned Sailors]], [[HollowWorld Agartha]], [[MagicalNativeAmerican Native American Magic]], {{Wendigo}}, The [[TheIlluminati Illuminati]], and {{ghosts}}, and many more.

Compare AllMythsAreTrue, CrossoverCosmology, WorldOfWeirdness, DominoRevelation and AnachronismStew. May combine with CrapsackWorld if the Fantasy Kitchen Sink has elements of the DarkerAndEdgier. IfJesusThenAliens is the logic used creating this world. Of course, tends to result in PalsWithJesus and MonsterRoommate after a while.

[[folder:Live Action TV]]

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has ghosts, demons, angels, zombies, vampires, wendigo, possessed trucks, a Frankenstein-style MadScientist who is effectively immortal through the theft of new organs, etc. So far no aliens, though. This was also {{lampshaded}} a bit when one of the brothers said that everyone knew there was no such thing as Bigfoot.
** Bobby Singer can usually find info on new monsters, after the writers let up on the use of John Winchester's diary. At some point, Team Winchester realized they were dealing with a monster that was entirely unprecedented.
** The monsters all fit an urban myth feeling, until they started incorporating all kinds of mythology, no matter how much of a square peg, round hole it was.
** In Hammer of the Gods, various pantheons from around the world sent representatives in a meeting to discuss ways to stop the Judeo-Christian apocalypse. Attendees included Odin, Mercury, Kali, Baldur, and Ganesh, to name a few.

** DCComics is not much different. It has Greek and Roman gods, wizards, Faeries, aliens, Dinosaur Island, [[TheWarlord sword & sorcery tales]], DocSavage, the guy from ''Gladiator'' (the [[{{Gladiator}} superhuman novel]], not the [[Film/{{Gladiator}} anachronistic movie]]), TheShadow, ten different versions of {{Atlantis}}, mind-controlling worms, pre-human civilizations, sentient robots, AncientAstronauts, AmbushBug, Comicbook/FlexMentallo, metafiction, the [[GreenLantern Green Lantern Corps]], normal guys with arrows and boomerangs who can defeat {{Superman}} and TheFlash, and on and on and on. There was also mention, in-universe, of there being full-scale battles fought between the angelic hosts of Heaven and the more villainous aspects of the Hindu pantheon at some point.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' features witches, wizards, warlocks, hags, ghosts, banshees, broomsticks, giant spiders, magic carpets, werewolves, vampires, various mythical creatures, giants and fairies; JKRowling once said she didn't realize that she was writing fantasy until the books were marketed that way. Right ...
** They even have their own non-existent creatures such as the Crumple-Horned Snorkack; Hermione scoffs at the notion that the Snorkack should exist ... [[ArbitrarySkepticism even though she didn't know that witches, wizards, ghosts or monsters existed until she was 11 years old, and should thus perhaps be more open-minded?]]

* Although ''BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'' seems to take place in a standard FairyTale setting (dragons, trolls, girls who make their living selling flowers), it also throws [[TheMuse Muses]] (who live in a castle) into the mix.

** Negi Springfield slowly discovers that his class of 31 "[[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent ordinary]]" middle-school girls includes a [[RidiculouslyhumanRobot ridiculously human]] [[BattleButler combat]] [[RobotGirl robot]], a [[CuteGhostGirl ghost]], [[SealedBadassinaCan a depowered formerly uber-powerful]] loli [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]]/wizardess, a [[CuteWitch Sorceress]]-in-training or three (well, it does once he starts training them, anyway), a {{Ninja}}, a [[ChineseGirl kung-fu master]], a [[SchoolgirlLesbians lesbian]] [[HeroicAlbino albino]] [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Tengu]] {{samurai}} [[BodyguardCrush bodyguard]], ''two'' {{Mad Scientist}}s [[spoiler:(one of whom is apparently his {{Time Travel}}ling [[LukeIAmYourFather descendant]] from [[HumanAlien another planet]])]], a [[ButNotTooForeign half-Puertorican half-demon]] {{Miko}}/[[HiredGuns mercenary]] [[TheGunslinger marksman]], a [[NunsAreFunny Nun]]/Wizardess, a potential [[HealingHands healer]] [[SchoolgirlLesbians lesbian]] {{Ojou}}, and [[SilentBob Zazie]] [[DarkSkinnedBlond Rainyday]] ([[spoiler:a demon princess]]) -- plus the secrets Asuna's forgotten history holds ([[spoiler:specifically, magical princess in exile]]). Just to add some spice, at least two of the girls have connections to his [[DisappearedDad long-missing father]], and unknown to him another is a relative! Negi himself, a [[TeenGenius pre-teen prodigy]] wizard, son of a legendary [[MagicKnight magical war hero]], who knows kung fu (and [[spoiler: was (unknown to him) a prince]]), who's in the process of [[strike:essentially]] training himself up to be an Epic Hero. That's not even counting the other characters in this series, like a famous gladiator/human WMD, and a dog hanyou. TasteTheRainbow!

* The title character of ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' may well have [[spoiler:reformatted her universe in order to make a Fantasy Kitchen Sink possible, because she considered any other kind of world too boring]]. In effect, ''almost everybody'' in her class turned out some kind of alien or supernatural, and {{fandom}} has doubts about those who haven't yet. [[TokenHuman Except Kyon, who is confirmed to be perfectly normal]], [[EpilepticTrees but fandom doesn't entirely trust that]].

* ''KoreWaZombieDesuKa'' has the protaganist, who is a zombie thanks to a necromancer he met. Later he meets a MagicalGirl fighting monsters and accidentally takes her power, allowing him to be a Magical Girl himself. Then there are the feuding [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] [[InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja ninjas]]...

* [[MarvelUniverse Marvel]] is undoubtedly a Fantasy Kitchen Sink, and is quite happy to have ComicBook/IronMan beat up on Loki if it feels [[RuleOfCool it'll make a good story]]. ConanTheBarbarian, {{Transformers}}, Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, and {{Zoids}} all used to be part of the MarvelUniverse and elements from those series are still floating around occasionally bumping into the Comicbook/IncredibleHulk, Comicbook/GhostRider, or the Comicbook/FantasticFour. Marvel's very first character was [[{{Sub-Mariner}} Namor]], the UsefulNotes/NewYork-hating king of {{Atlantis}}, and his nemesis was a fire-shooting android. While characters from completely different genres usually don't mix, and lighter series don't usually cross over with the grimmer ones, nothing is ever off limits.

* ''TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' graphic novels incorporate absolutely ''anything'' AlanMoore can cram into a panel and not get sued over. However, they all do relate to a certain period of History, or of Literature History. He does keep a coherence.
* ''AstroCity'', unsurprisingly for a superhero reconstruction, has time travelers, vampires, ghosts, robots, living cartoon characters, reptilian monsters, aliens, storm elementals and ''gorillas with the heads of ants''.

* The long-running British series ''Series/DoctorWho'' has taken nearly every fantasy being and concept and worked it into a story line [[LongRunner over the past 50 years]]. It usually [[DoingInTheWizard rationalizes it away]] in terms of scientific explanations. Still, not counting the other {{Whoniverse}} series, it has featured: robot Yeti constructed by a cosmic horror story monsters, AlienAstronauts, at least one version of Satan, a living personifications of Death, Order and Chaos, the Land of Fiction (just what it sounds like), vampires, werewolves, at least two different version of Atlantis, living plastic, a {{Steampunk}} GiantRobot, an alien version of the ''Titanic'' nearly crashing into present day London and two different versions of the Loch Ness Monster.
* ''Kolchak: The Night Stalker,'' a 1974 television series, featured Darren McGaven in the starring role of investigative newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak, who each week stumbled across a different supernatural story in the city of Chicago. All of the standard monsters were brought out: witches, vampires, werewolves, mummies, and many others. In each episode, Kolchak would cover a mysterious news event, such as a murder or bizarre accidental death, discover the underlying supernatural cause, try to convince his editor and the police to no effect, and eventually defeat the monster without anyone's help, knowledge, or thanks.

* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' began with the simple story of a cyborg PhlebotinumRebel from an evil Nazi-esque organisation, then slowly began to involve [[KamenRiderAmazon multiple]] [[KamenRiderOOO ancient civilisations]], [[KamenRiderBlackRX aliens]], [[KamenRiderKiva every variety of monster you can think of]], [[KamenRiderHibiki supernatural martial arts using the power of sound]], [[KamenRiderRyuki alternate worlds you can enter through shiny surfaces]], [[KamenRiderDecade a universe-destroying journey through all of those things]], and currently a mysterious power originating in [[Series/KamenRiderFourze space]]. They all regularly team up in movies, and nobody makes a big deal of the fact that a vampire and [[{{Kamen Rider Den-O}} a body-swapping oni]] are kicking monsters until they explode.
* {{Smallville}} introduced magic in Season Four after spending three seasons with just Sci-Fi (albeit really, really, ''really'' [[MohsScaleOfSciFiHardness soft]] sci-fi). After that it never looked back, being one of the few live action comic book adaptations to embrace the FantasyKitchenSink of its source material. Smallville featured aliens, TimeTravel, magic, cyborgs, clones, ghosts, the afterlife, parallel universes, the NewGods and more.
