Winnie The Pooh As A *Checks Notes* Blood-Thirsty Killer?

Piglet and Winnie in Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey

Stranger Things 4 might be dropping tomorrow, but the strangest thing is this upcoming Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (very indie) horror slasher movie.

As you may have figured, our boy Winnie entered the public domain at the start of this year – hence this decidedly non-Disney, non-PG take on the classic childhood character. News of the project surfaced earlier this week courtesy of the folks at Dread Central, with inclusion of several first-look images at the flick which is now in post-production.

Rhys Frake-Waterfield writes and directs in his feature debut. No plot details are available as of yet aside from a very brief logline, which describes the film as a “horror retelling of the famous legend of Winnie the Pooh.” Though the word “legend” is intriguing, this really doesn’t tell us much at all.

Naturally, Piglet – though having seen him, the name seems ironic – is also partaking in the festivities, though there’s no sign of the rest of the gang. Amber Doig-Thorne, Maria Taylor, and Danielle Scott are among the cast, with Craig David Dowsett as Winnie and Chris Cordell as Piglet.

Honestly, the stills speak for themselves. Check out Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey in all its creepy glory:

Six years after his feature directorial debut My Bloody Banjo, writer-director Liam Regan is now launching a new Indiegogo campaign for his spiritual sequel Eating Miss Campbell. The crowdfunder will run for 30 days from May 20th.

Regan started filming Eating Miss Campbell in 2020, but due to the pandemic filming was delayed until last summer. Restarting production for a second time has inevitably come at a cost and has now used the budget previously put aside for the post-production budget. Check out the teaser trailer below:

Eating Miss Campbell will bring back some of the main cast from My Bloody Banjo, including Vito Trigo (Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1), James Hamer-Morton (Pandamonium), Dani Thompson (I Scream on the Beach!), Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)) and Lloyd Kaufman (Toxic Avenger).

Also joining the impressive cast are some familiar faces from the UK indie horror scene are Lyndsey Craine (Book of Monsters), Charlie Bond (Powertool Cheerleaders vs the Boyband of the Screeching Dead), Emily Haigh (Jane Eyre), Michaela Longden (Book of Monsters), Annabella Rich (Acting), and Lala Barlow (Metro Sexual)

Director Liam Regan had the following to say about the film: “The Indiegogo campaign includes several unique perks such as the director’s cut of My Bloody Banjo which will be available on Blu-ray for the first time and several unique perks that will be limited to the Indiegogo campaign.”
