Other horror films with Disney characters from our childhood have been confirmed: future nightmares guaranteed.
After the murderous adventures of dear Winnie-the-Pooh and his trusty companion Piglet in Rhys Frake-Waterfields’ Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey, prepare to see more Disney characters turn to the dark side.
We already know that a second part will soon see the light of day, just like the films in preparation starring Peter Pan and Bambi, entitled Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare and Bambi: The Reckoning. Involved in all these projects, Rhys Frake-Waterfields indeed plans to create a vast universe of horror around the Disney characters who are part of the public domain.
And now, like the FilmStarts announcement, things could get a bit more complicated: two more horror films about children’s characters have been announced as part of the Cannes film market but these will have nothing to do with with those of Rhys Frake-Waterfields…
NEW PROJECTS TO COME
Titled Winnie The Pooh: Death House and Peter Pan Goes To Hell, the newly announced feature films will be part of a separate universe. The first film, planned as a crossover between The Strangers and American Nightmare, will be directed by SJ Evans and written by Adam Stephen Kelly. Its plot will revolve around a school reunion that takes place in a remote estate. However, it is the members of a cult, who were tormented by the guests in their childhood, who are behind the invitation and their revenge will be cruel.
Adam Stephen Kelly will also sign the screenplay for Peter Pan Goes To Hell, but this time it’s Phil Claydon who will be the director. The film, meanwhile, is billed as a cross between Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho and the 1981 slasher Nightmares at Daytona Beach. This promises…
THE SUCCESS OF WINNIE THE KILLER CUB
Released on February 15 in the United States and scheduled for July 19 on VOD in France, Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey has already been talked about a lot and for good reason, in the film, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, two of the cutest and most innocent Disney characters (not here), cause a real massacre.
Jagged Edge Productions
The low-budget horror film was a great success at the box office across the Atlantic: with its budget of $100,000, it brought in more than $5.2 million in theaters. So it’s no wonder a sequel is in the works. Note that these adaptations, as well as those to come, are now possible since the classic book Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne is now in the public domain and therefore no longer subject to copyright.
