Blood and Honey Team Have Peter Pan and Thor in Their Sights



Not content with turning Winnie The Pooh into a blood-spattered horror icon, Rhys Waterford is looking to do the same to other public domain classics.

The full trailer for upcoming horror Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was released earlier this week, and there is certainly a buzz around the gory update on the loveable children’s character that doesn’t come the honeybees of the Disney version. With A.A. Milne’s original Winnie the Pooh stories now in the public domain, as long as people avoid using any of the visuals or additional characters specifically created by The Walt Disney Company in their version of Pooh Bear, the characters of the Hundred Acre Wood can now be used in any way by anyone. However, the creative team behind the movie are seemingly not ready to stop with Pooh, and have ideas for other horror-orientated versions of public domain characters including Peter Pan.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was announced almost immediately after Milne’s books entered the public domain, and caused an immediate stir with its unnerving combination of the much-loved children’s character in a Jason Voorhees-style framing. Now, while speaking with TMZ, director Rhys Waterfield has revealed which other characters could be next for the same terrifying makeover.

“Essentially we’ve been kind of doing that for the last like year now. Like with you know like Humpty Dumpty and things like that and there was there was other ideas we had in mind. For example like Thor, the the Norse God isn’t the property of Marvel so we could do kind of our own interpretation of that if we wanted. It didn’t have the same like ring as Winnie did so we went on Winnie and done that. We’ve got loads of other ones planned as well so like we’re doing a Peter Pan one.”

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey essentially acts as a dystopian sequel to the classic stories of A.A. Milne, leaving behind the happy picnics and friendly collaborations for hammers, axes and plenty of blood. The story jumps in time, skipping over the years when Christopher Robin grew up and started making less frequent visits to see his furry friends. By the time he went to college, he abandoned Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and the others, leaving them to their own devices.

In the movie, this led to Pooh and Piglet turning feral through hunger, which seemingly led to the pair murdering and eating Eeyore and then preying on anyone who happen upon them. When Christopher Robin finally returns with his wife to see how his old friends are doing, it doesn’t end well, and it seemingly won’t for a group of university students who show up later.

Although certainly not one for the kids, the imaginative re-telling of Pooh and his friends is definitely intriguing and shows what can happen when innocent stories fall into the public domain. Blood and Honey is yet to receive a release date, but is expected to arrive on DVD and VOD services later this year.
