Before the end, Michelle Trachtenberg shared posts to social media that alarmed fans.

Early on Wednesday, February 26, the beloved 39-year-old actress was found dead by her mother.

Her death was not deemed suspicious by investigators. But her cause of death was not announced, either.

While the world reels from this tragic and shocking news, some fans point to Trachtenberg’s final social media posts.

As we reported earlier today, Michelle Trachtenberg has tragically passed away at the age of 39.

Her mother discovered her body at around 8 Am on Wednesday morning.

Trachtenberg was a child actress who moved on to adult projects alongside her viewing audience. She went from Harriet The Spy to Buffy The Vampire Slayer to Gossip Girl,...

The most recent entry in the so-called Poohniverse, and the first one not to feature Pooh, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, has arrived. With Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel both being steaming piles of, well, poo, I was going to skip this. But surprisingly, I started hearing quite a few positive things about it.

While most of the films that director Scott Chambers, aka Scott Jeffrey has been involved with are borderline unwatchable fare like Dragon Fury, he does have the occasional entertaining effort like The Gardener to his credit, so it wasn’t entirely beyond the realm of possibility that Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare would actually be decent. Hoping for the best, I decided to give it a chance.

James Gandolfini is the legendary actor behind one of the most iconic roles in the history of television, the mob boss Tony Soprano from The Sopranos. Widely hailed as one of the greatest television actors of all time, the late actor’s portrayal of the complex character in the series has left an indelible mark on the landscape of TV today.

However, even with the fame and acclaim he has received, the actor did once in a rare interview reveal he does have a regret about The Sopranos. Stating that he will be making more of a conscious effort to address this after the show’s end, Gandolfini did end up doing the same.

Did movies for kids peak in the 1990s? It's entirely possible. We arrived at this question after sifting through piles of our old VHS tapes to produce a list of the best '90s kids' movies, noting the amount of high-quality entertainment we had to choose from. Make no mistake, this was a hard list to assemble and required more than a few heartbreaking sacrifices. Even cherished Walt Disney productions like "Mulan" and "Tarzan" were left on the outside looking in, which speaks volumes about the last great decade. "Beethoven?" Nope. "Rookie of the Year?" Nadda. "Angels in the Outfield?" Non. The Lindsey Lohan "Parent Trap?" Nein.

Thankfully, the films that made the final cut are genuinely excellent. So, don't get too mad if your favorite children's flicks are nowhere to be found. Chances are, we love them too but had to make room for those that were marginally better.

Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare 5/10

Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare is a fantasy-horror film from the team at Jagged Edge Productions, the same group behind other horror parody films such as Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. The film is a terrifying retelling of the original tale penned by J.M. Barrie in 1911.

Following an initial three-day engagement that kicked off on Monday, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare is extending its theatrical run with 75 different locations across the country.

From Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, the newest entry into the Poohniverse will continue its flight on the big screen until January 23. Tickets are available through Iconic Events.

The twisted take on the childhood classic is written and directed by Scott Chambers, who produced the Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey films in addition to starring in the second installment as Christopher Robin.

In the British indie slasher, “Wendy Darling strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from the clutches of the evil Peter Pan who intends to send him to Neverland. Along the way she meets a twisted Tinkerbell, who is hooked on what she thinks is fairy dust.”

When news broke that various children’s properties would enter the public domain and be made into cheap horror movies, most of us expected films that would straight to DVD or Streaming. And while that is the case for many of these releases, not the case with the Poohniverse. Starting with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, this cinematic universe has found success with its brief theatrical runs. So much so that we’re being treated to a whole slate of films that include Bambi, Winnie the Pooh and Pinochio. The latest entry, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, releases in theaters for only three days (just like the Blood and Honey films) so be sure to check it out in theaters if you want more. My review will go up the night of release.

I was excited to chat with director of Neverland Nightmare (and star of Blood and Honey...

Plot: Wendy Darling strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who will be seen taking heroin, believing that it’s pixie dust.

Review: It’s always very ambitious for a franchise to announce its plans way ahead of time. It certainly has bit Marvel on the butt, but if you’re going to parody their release schedule, you have to do things full bore. And I think most of us at least chuckled when the Poohniverse was announced. So smack dab in the middle of their release lies Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, a horror take on the J.M. Barrie classic. And it’s a hell of a lot darker than expected.

Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare is a very dark and twisted take on Peter Pan as he sucks the souls out of children to remain youthful.

From Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare is now in theaters until January 15, 2025, only from Iconic Events Releasing, and the team has provided Bloody Disgusting with a bloody exclusive clip to whet your appetite this morning.

Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare gives a dark new spin on the classic fairy tale characters created by J.M. Barrie. Watch a bloody clip from a fight between Peter Pan and Wendy Darling below, and find the film’s previously released official trailer underneath.

Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare gives a dark new spin on a classic fairy tale. Ahead of the film’s theatrical release next week, Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios have unveiled new images of the “Poohniverse” version of Tinkerbell and Hook.

Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare gets a limited theatrical release for three days only, from January 13, 2025, until January 15, 2025, from Iconic Events Releasing.

The brand new images present a drastically different depiction of Peter Pan’s close ally, Tink, and his sworn enemy, Hook. More interestingly, EW revealed character details behind the new version of Tinkerbell.

We had heard that director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Jeffrey Chambers were planning to create a cinematic universe with the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey films and other horror movies inspired by children’s stories, like Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, Bambi: The Reckoning, and Pinocchio Unstrung. Then, Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios officially announced that this cinematic universe, which is being referred to as The Twisted Childhood Universe, is building up to the crossover movie Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, which will be released in 2025. Now, in an interview with ComicBook.com, Chambers has teased that Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, and the Mad Hatter will be “the worst of the worst” when it comes to the children’s story-inspired villains in the film.

Frake-Waterfield will be directing Poohniverse from a screenplay he wrote with Chambers. It was previously confirmed that the cast will include Chambers as Christopher Robin, Megan Plactio as Wendy Darling,...

The Twisted Childhood Universe has been one of the most fascinating introductions to the horror genre in recent years, and Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare is its latest installment. Created by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, the franchise is composed of interconnected stories bringing horror-driven takes on iconic children's characters that are available in the public domain. The franchise began with the critically maligned Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and continued with its generally better-received sequel, while six other movies are in various states of development and production.

From Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare arrives in theaters for three days only starting January 13th from Iconic Events Releasing. Ahead of the theatrical release, we caught up the film's writer and director, Scott Chambers, to learn all about the making of the film:

The Poohniverse is expanding to cover new twisted childhood stories. How did Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare come about as the newest entry and your latest directorial effort?

Scott Chambers: Peter Pan will feature as one of the main villains within Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, and with that filming in 2025, we wanted to introduce the audiences to him before that movie. Going into Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, we want audiences to already feel a certain way toward Pan. So it was important to release this film prior.

Fans of twisted fairy tales have something new to look forward to with the release of ‘Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare,’ brought to us by Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios.

This film is a dark departure from the beloved tales of our childhood, featuring a sinister version of Peter Pan that’s sure to unsettle you.

In this new horror twist, Peter Pan transforms from the whimsical boy who never wanted to grow up into a terrifying figure.

The plot centers around the Darling family, who find themselves in a nightmarish scenario when the youngest son, Michael, is kidnapped by Peter.

The film veers away from the adventurous trips to Neverland and instead throws Wendy and her siblings into a desperate struggle with their childhood hero-turned-villain.

The sneak peek provided by Collider just in time for the first day of ticket sales shows a scene that sets the tone for this horror story.

In the beginning there was Winnie The Pooh: Blood & Honey. Then, there was Winnie the Pooh_: Blood & Honey 2_. And now, as Rhys Frake-Waterfield — the Kevin Feige of effed-up fairytale films — envisioned back in early 2023, the Twisted Childhood Universe of public domain based horrors is set to expand with Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare. Written and directed by Scott Jeffrey (not to be confused with Muppet Babies helmsman Jeffrey Scott), the Tcu's latest childhood crusher is set to see Martin Portlock bring to our screens a slightly more murderous version of the boy who never grew up than Disney's take on the J.M. Barrie fairytale. Check out the bloody first trailer below;

Welp — we don't know about his shadow, but it sure does look like our pal Peter has found his dark side here! Whilst theorists have long contested a dark truth at the heart of Barrie's book (that...

The Poohniverse has struck again, and this time, the situation seems to be more grave than ever before. After the slasher-horror pieces from the Twisted Childhood Universe (Tcu) that started with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and followed by its sequel, this next film seems to hold an equally carnage vision as it strikes yet another fan-favorite character: Peter Pan.

This is because this very beloved character, who pretty much shaped a lot of kids’ childhood, has been transformed into a much grittier and gorier version in the upcoming Neverland Nightmare. And, as things get out of hand for this alternate crossover universe that reimagines beloved fairy-tale characters as horror movie villains, fans can’t help but express severe disapproval.

Among the many upcoming horror movies based on childrens stories is Peter Pans Neverland Nightmare, and the first trailer took me by surprise as it looks a lot better and darker than I expected. The horror genre has regained its popularity in recent years thanks to many successful movies from original movies to adaptations to reboots and legacy sequels. However, one unexpected trend that gained a lot of force is horror versions of childrens stories and characters, which began with 2023s Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.

Its success led to the creation of a shared universe called The Twisted Childhood Universe, and it already has various movies in development. Among them is Peter Pans Neverland Nightmare, written and directed by Scott Jeffrey. The project was announced in 2022 as part of Blood and Honeys shared universe and this version of Peter Pan is expected to join other characters from this universe in...

The creators of the horror film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are back to terrorize a new public domain classic with a new trailer released for Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare.

Peter Pan is the newest childhood classic on the chopping block for Jagged Edge Productions, the production company behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. The company has been extending their horror franchise of public domain tales turned into horror films--dubbed the "Poohniverse"--with other titles announced such as Bambi: The Reckoning and Pinocchio: Unstrung. The Poohniverse shows no signs of slowing down, with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 confirmed by its producers and Pinocchio: Unstrung set to start filming next month.

With the original iterations of several Disney characters now in the public domain, the door has been opened to parodies featuring twisted new versions of them.

One of the most attention-grabbing parodies is the upcoming horror movie Screamboat which, in case it wasn't obvious, is based on the iconic Mickey Mouse predecessor, Steamboat Willie.

Directed by Steven Lamorte, who previously helmed 2022's The Mean One, a horror based on Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, the teaser trailer suggests the project will make slasher fans happy.

According to the synopsis, "[Screamboat] follows a group of New Yorkers on a late-night ferry ride that turns deadly when a mischievous mouse begins a rampage, targeting unsuspecting passengers. The unlikely crew must band together to thwart the murderous menace before their relaxing commute turns into a nightmare."

Robin Williams is known for his lively and entertaining on-screen performances, which not only delighted audiences but were also enjoyable for him. However, it didn’t seem to be the case for Steven Spielberg’s 1991 film Hook, which featured him in the role of an adult Peter Pan.

Despite being Spielberg’s worst-rated film, it was a commercial success and has since gained a cult following. While the film turned out to be quite successful, it was challenging for Williams to portray an uptight, regular adult version of Peter Pan.

Embracing meta direction and clever twists keeps this sequel fresh and surprisingly enjoyable. Well-done prosthetics, pacing, and gore make for a satisfying horror experience. Despite being a bit mean and sacrilegious to Milne's memory, and having some weak internal logic, the film offers a raw love letter to over-the-top horror fans.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey was trendy but abysmal. Yet somehow, writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield managed to garner the cash with their Jagged Edge Productions for a sequel. The filmmaker reportedly listened to the niche audience who balked at the low-budget horror film that pooed upon A.A. Milne’s classic IP. His “Come to Jesus” moment lured in co-screenwriter Matt Leslie (Summer of ’84) and the duo pretty much reinvented everything for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 is in the works with a bigger budget, introducing new nightmarish characters from A.A. Milne's world. The 'Poohniverse' will bring together Pooh, Piglet, horror versions of Bambi, Peter Pan, and others in a crossover event movie. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 takes a meta approach with a bloody storyline and a mix of positive and mixed reviews.

A third movie in the Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is now officially in the works. The news comes quickly following the theatrical release of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, with Variety revealing that Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 will have an even “bigger budget” that this year’s follow-up. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 will also introduce several more beloved characters from the world of A.A. Milne, with Rabbit and the heffalumps due to be twisted and warped into nightmarish creations alongside the likes of Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger.

In news likely to simultaneously delight and appall across the cinema world, a third instalment of IP-bludgeoning slasher ‘Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey’ has been confirmed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield and Scott Chambers of prolific horror banner Jagged Edge Productions.

Having established herself at the BBC with the police procedural “Happy Valley” and the crossdressing costume drama “Gentleman Jack,” screenwriter-turned-showrunner Sally Wainwright has followed countless creatives and taken the Disney shilling to initiate her latest project.

Imposed by post-Brexit belt-tightening, this sorry set of limitations has exasperated those obliged to work within them while dispiriting viewers, left watching the life — and the talent — drain from primetime broadcasts.

Interestingly enough, there are now more movies that have been planned in what is now called the Twisted Child Universe, leading to Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.

According to Bloody Disgusting, Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is set to hit theaters on March 26th, 27th, and 28th through Fathom Events, marking the sequel to last year’s viral sensation that amassed nearly $5 million at the box office. With ITN Studios & Jagged Edge Productions fully invested in their Twisted Childhood Universe, the next step involves an ambitious Avengers-style crossover.

The timeline...

The makers of Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 1 & 2 are at work on another twisted take on A.A. Milne’s children’s story.

The prolific low-budget genre labels Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Films have unveiled plans to swing their bloody axe again with Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, a slasher horror pic set to shoot this year ahead of a 2025 release.

“It will be complete carnage. We are heavily influenced by Freddy Vs Jason and The Avengers. We would love to see a horror movie where the villains group together and are going after their survivors. We have some incredible set pieces in mind and some sequences I think will truly shock people,” Jagged Edge producer Rhys Frake-Waterfield said in a statement.

Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble plans to bring twisted children's characters together for a terror-filled event inspired by Freddy Vs Jason and The Avengers. The success of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey sequel hinges on commercial performance, as budget size for this horror film grows significantly. Set to release in 2025, the Poohniverse movie faces challenges from critics and audiences, but the potential for an epic monster mash-up still shines through.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has a lot to answer for, as Jagged Edge Productions has announced their ultimate goal for the public domain slasher franchise - a huge crossover event entitled Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.

The release of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was timed to perfection, arriving as the cuddly bear from A.A. Milne's stories entered the public domain and became fair game for anyone willing to deconstruct it and put it back together in any way of their choosing.

A Winnie the Pooh slasher film is getting the sequel treatment, and the newly-minted “Twisted Childhood Universe (Tcu)” is getting its first major crossover event.

Just months after Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain in 2022, Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios made waves for producing Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, a slasher film depicting A.A. Milne’s beloved characters of the Hundred Acre Wood as feral, blood-hungry killers. Despite very, very negative critical reception (it has a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes), the film made $5 million at the box office on a $50,000 budget, and led to other planned horror films featuring children’s characters now in the public domain like Bambi, Pinocchio, and the characters of Peter Pan.

Now, a grand cinematic crossover event with these characters is imminent: Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble will hit theaters in 2025. As reported by Variety, the Avengers-style low-budget horror crossover will see Winnie the Pooh join villainous forces with Bambi,...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Universe have created a huge following over the years, and now Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey wants to expand into a similar crossover, reimagining iconic horror characters.

The low-budget slasher Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey will expand the universe into the crossover event Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, Variety reports. The first horror film in the series, directed and written by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, debuted in 2023, with a sequel about to hit theaters soon. However, the filmmakers behind the slasher involving the classic character have bigger plans.

Made on a budget of less than $100,000, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (watch it Here) earned more than $6 million during its global release in early 2023, so the sequel Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is set to receive a three-day theatrical run in the United States on March 26, 27, and 28th, courtesy of Fathom Events, ITN Studios, and Jagged Edge Productions. (Tickets can be purchased online at Fathom Events or at participating theatre box offices.) We’ve previously heard that Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Jeffrey Chambers are planning to create a cinematic universe with the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey films and other horror movies inspired by children’s stories, like Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, Bambi: The Reckoning, and Pinocchio Unstrung. Now Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios have officially announced that this cinematic universe, which is being referred to as The Twisted Childhood Universe,...

Ah, the magic of the public domain. The arch nemesis of studios and corporations and copyright lawyers everywhere is nothing but a boon to the rest of us, allowing literally anyone to get their hands on famous properties and shamelessly twist and pervert them beyond all recognition. That's precisely what happened with the beloved character of Winnie the Pooh just over two years ago, allowing for a slew of knockoff (and frankly terrible) B-movie horror flicks like "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" and its upcoming sequel. Well, things are about to kick into another gear entirely as an entire shared universe is apparently now in the works.

Just when you thought it was safe to visit the Hundred Acre Wood again. In the bloodiest and most un-family-friendly news we'll probably get this week, Variety revealed that the creative team responsible for "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" is now...

Jagged Edge Productions plans a horror crossover event with Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, introducing new characters and menacing twists on iconic tales. The studio's ambitious cinematic universe aims to follow the success of major franchises like The Avengers by uniting classic villains for carnage. Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble promises a unique correction to past horror crossovers, creating excitement for the future of The Twisted Childhood Universe.

Ahead of the second installment hitting theaters, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey studio Jagged Edge Productions has confirmed their horror crossover event plans with Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. The horror franchise kicked off with the 2023 slasher twist on the iconic A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard children's book, which quickly netted a sequel development prior to the first movie's box office success. The new Winnie-the-Pooh studio also began development on further public domain-based adaptations in Pinocchio: Unstrung, Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare and Bambi: The Reckoning, all in the hopes of a crossover event.

Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 hits theaters March 26, 27, 28th from Fathom Events, a sequel to last year’s viral hit that ended up making nearly $5 million at the box office. ITN Studios & Jagged Edge Productions are all-in on their “Twisted Childhood Universe,” but what’s the end game? As it turns out, they’re planning an Avengers-style mashup.

For starters, the growing “Twisted Childhood Universe” will feature previously announced stand-alone films Bambi: The Reckoning, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare and Pinocchio Unstrung and introduce new characters such as Sleeping Beauty, The Mad Hatter, and Rabbit from Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey.

All of these characters will come together in Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble in 2025 when the monsters join forces to take down the world.

Blood and Honey 2‘s end credits will feature a first look at the upcoming Poohniverse.

Producer of Jagged Edge Productions Rhys Frake-Waterfield explains, “It will be complete carnage.

Winnie The Pooh, Pinocchio, Peter Pan and more are set to appear in Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, a horror film from the makers of Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey. More on the story below.

It’s not exactly a secret that Marvel has been struggling recently with diminishing (but still sizable) box office returns, troubled productions and less-than-great reviews for its films. A more cynical writer might say that it’s about time Marvel was dethroned as the ruler of cinematic universes.

It will certainly face some stiff competition from the makers of Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey, who are now setting up their own cinematic universe.

A new film called Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, has been announced, and is set to be released in 2025 according to Variety. The film will see a team-up between familiar heroes such as Winnie The Pooh, Bambi, Tinkerbell, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tigger, Piglet, The Mad Hatter and Sleeping Beauty.

Six years after “Avengers: Infinity War,” another film is vying to become the most ambitious crossover event in history, this time in the lower-budget cinematic realm.

The filmmakers behind “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” — the micro-budget slasher that sparked headlines for turning A. A. Milne’s jovial bear into a feral serial killer and made an incredible $5.2 million at the box office after costing under $50,000 to make — have unveiled “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,” bringing together Pooh and various other beloved children’s characters gone bad.

Where “Avengers: Infinity War” had Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther and Thanos, “Poohniverse” — from prolific horror collaborators Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios — will team Winnie the Pooh with murderous versions of figures including Bambi, Tinkerbell, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tigger, Piglet, The Mad Hatter and Sleeping Beauty for an IP-bludgeoning frenzy due for release in 2025. Indeed, on the poster, which Variety is also able to exclusively reveal,...
