Horror Weekly News: Winne the Pooh turns scary. Stephen King announces new novella.

Remember the cute little bear Winnie the Pooh, and all his animal friends that lived in Hundred Acre Woods? Remember the stories we read and the cartoons we watched of this lovable bear who craved honey and help his friends and tagged along with his human friend Christopher Robin wherever he went?

Well, Winnie the Pooh is now making his entrance in horror movies, along with Piglet, the timid little character everyone took an instant liking to.

The first few stills from the movie titled Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, have already surfaced and created quite a bit of stir. The chubby little bear we remembered no longer wants to spend time with his friends and play in the forest. Along with Piglet, he goes on a murderous spree when he is abandoned by his friend Christopher Robin who has gone off to college.

Now you would think that Christopher Robin wouldn’t ever dream of abandoning his friends but he does and not only that, he apparently also leaves them without food.

That’s not what friendship is about, is it?

So of course Winnie the Pooh and Piglet go off killing people in gory ways as they have returned to their feral ways. There’s a rumor that the duo has also feasted on their friend Eeyore, that sad little donkey.

The slasher movie clearly falls into the horror-comedy category and it will be interesting to see what the trailer will reveal about the story once it is released.

As of now, there is no release date announced.

In other news…

Master of horror and prolific author, Stephen King has stated in an interview that he has worked on a novella titled RATTLESNAKES. Interestingly, this novel will serve as a sequel to CUJO.

Cujo was about a dog who becomes rabid after being bitten by a bat and attacks everyone on sight. Donna manages to kill him when he goes after her and her son Tad.

Rattlesnakes are supposed to be about two four-year-old boys who fall into a hole full of rattlesnakes. What happens next forms the story. The novella seems to be more of a spiritual sequel considering Cujo died in the book.

There’s no news as to when this book will be released.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer. Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying. What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
