The Twisted Childhood Universe Expands
Fans of the unique horror take on beloved childhood classics have much to anticipate, as the next entry in the Twisted Childhood Universe is on its way. Following the success of the unexpected horror hit Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, creators Rhys Frake-Waterfield and Scott Jeffrey are pushing their boundaries with the upcoming film, Pinocchio: Unstrung. The movie promises to blend nostalgia with horror in a uniquely unsettling way.
A Legendary Cast Joins the Fray
Adding to the excitement, two notable figures from the horror genre have been cast in key roles. Robert Englund, famously known for bringing Freddy Krueger to life in the A Nightmare on Elm Street series, will lend his skills to the film. Alongside him, Richard Brake, a seasoned collaborator with Rob Zombie, will take on the role of Geppetto. With such talent on board, expectations are high for this new horrifying twist on the story of Pinocchio.
A Chilling First Look
Fans have been treated to a glimpse of the practically designed Pinocchio puppet, crafted by the talented special effects artist Todd Masters, whose portfolio includes notable works like Child’s Play and Dune: Part II. The design stays true to the eerie and unsettling aesthetic that Blood and Honey is known for. A video showcasing the creepy animatronic puppet in action has been released, providing an insight into the eerie atmosphere the filmmakers aim to create.
Building the Twisted Universe
This expansion of the Twisted Childhood Universe isn’t stopping with Pinocchio. The film follows on the heels of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel, which was released earlier this year. Next in line is Bambi: The Reckoning, offering another chilling twist on a classic tale, with a teaser trailer already available.
Anticipation Builds
While a release date for Pinocchio: Unstrung has yet to be announced, the buzz surrounding the film is building. Horror fans and those curious about these innovative retellings can prepare by immersing themselves in the released puppet video and upcoming announcements. As this dark and twisted universe continues to grow, audiences can expect more haunting reimaginings of their childhood stories.
