ANOTHER Winnie the Pooh horror film is in production... they're also making a Peter Pan slasher!
Not only is Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey getting a sequel but a different production group are making their own Winnie the Pooh horror film and a Peter Pan one too.
German distributor Dolphin Medien has partnered with U.K. horror production house Red Shadow Studios on horror films based on public domain children’s properties Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan, it was revealed at the ongoing Cannes film market.
“Winnie the Pooh: Death House,” described by the makers as “The Strangers” meets “The Purge,” is a stylized serial killer slant on A.A. Milne’s beloved character, which recently entered the public domain. The film is written by Red Shadow’s Adam Stephen Kelly and is directed by S.J. Evans (“Dead of the Nite”). The story centres around an unexpected school reunion in a remote country mansion – an event orchestrated by members of a cult who were mercilessly tormented by the guests as children. Now, years later, they’re out for gruesome revenge. Filming is underway at U.K. locations.
Evans said: “The script is supremely clever with scope for iconic visuals, and we have assembled a terrific young cast loaded with star potential. I’m very excited to share this dark and disturbing horror with the world.”
A recent example of a Pooh horror adaptation is “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.”
“Peter Pan Goes to Hell” takes J.M. Barrie’s iconic boy who never grew up from his first appearance in “The Little White Bird” and uses it as a jumping off point for a slasher movie in the vein of “Psycho” and “Nightmares in a Damaged Brain.” The script is by Kelly, while Phil Claydon (“Lesbian Vampire Killers”) directs.
