Shiver Me Timbers, one of several recent low-budget horror movies taking advantage of Popeye’s public domain status, is already getting a sequel film. In this one, Popeye and Olive Oyl will be joined by *checks notes* Tarzan and Betty Boop.
The teaser trailer for Shiver Me Timbers 2: Chainsaws Are for Children, has just been released.
Picking up just weeks after the events of the first film, the sequel sees Popeye land in New York for a brutal killing spree in Little Italy. Olive Oyl, now armed with a bionic, super-powered hand, travels to the city to avenge her brother’s death. Her journey leads her straight to the mafia boss’ nightclub, where she bonds with singer Betty Boop.
Meanwhile, the mafia boss learns that his long-lost son, now a grown man, has been found after disappearing as a child during a jungle vacation. However, while attempting to rehabilitate him to civilisation, he escapes, tackling Popeye and taking a puff from his pipe.
As a result, he is transformed into a savage beast man, forging a twisted alliance with Popeye. Olive and Betty, with help from the mafia, must defeat the monstrous duo before it’s too late.
Writer-director Paul Stephen Mann returns, with Tony Greer and Amy Mackie reprising their lead roles as Popeye and Olive.
Alpake Entertainment is launching an Indiegogo campaign on December 20th to fund Shiver Me Timbers 2. Rewards include on-screen victim roles, producer credits, screen-used props, signed merchandise, and more. Check it out here.
