Peter Pan's Tale is now a Horror Movie

 Fairytales have always been a part of our childhood. While we were exposed to numerous children’s books and poems, the one thing that kept us awestruck were fairytales because they contained magic, the characters were brave, the princesses were fascinating, and good always triumphed over evil. 

Of course, over time the fairytales started to take a backseat as more books entered the market. As well as cartoons. 

And so began the era of reimagining stories. 

The studios who brought fairytales to life through animated movies, began producing new, contemporary shows that incorporated the heart of fairytales. 

Then came the popular show Once Upon a Time that resonated with adults because of its mature themes. The fairytales were darker and the villains all too real. 

The beloved fairytales were brought back to life. 

But that is not where the limits to reimagining fairytales were set. Horror movies began to use fairytale themes and suddenly the nightmares and terror were haunting. 

Okay, so we have a Snow White and the Huntsman movie, Hansel and Gretel, and Red Riding hood movie. All of them had horror themes. 

But then there were some horror movies which dared to go bolder, and bloodier so to speak. 

No tales or urban legends are safe now. Especially if they enter the public domain. 

Following the entry of Winnie the Pooh in the public domain, filmmaker  Rhys Frake-Waterfield decided to turn beloved bear Pooh into a serial killer. Even Piglet was not spared. In hindsight, Christopher Robin should never have abandoned them. 

Rhys Frake-Waterfield is known to turn characters from fairytales and nursery rhymes into murderous sociopaths. A quick look of his filmography shows that he has made movies on Jack and Jill, Jack Frost, Three Bling Mice, and Winnie the Pooh. 

Now there’s another movie being added to the list: Peter Pan. 

The movie is titled Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare. Does that mean we are going to see Peter Pan kidnap a young woman and kids, and take them to Neverland? 

Is Captain Hook going to be their savior? 

Imagine Tinkerbell creating havoc for the victims…

We’ll just have to wait and see how the tale of a boy who never grew up is going to be twisted. 

Till then, here's the trailer for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.
