Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey puts a horror twist to classic children's tale
Oh, bother, Winnie the Pooh just got real dark. A new horror film, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, reimagines the beloved children’s book character as a serial killer. Not exactly a cozy bedtime story anymore!
The indie horror title is currently in production by director Rhys Frake-Waterfield. Quite a staggering directorial debut if you ask me. The cast includes Craig David-Dowsett as Winnie, with Chris Cordell as Piglet. Other characters include “Caged Man” and “Mauled Woman” just to give you an idea of where they’re going with this…
The film is being made by the London-based Jagged Edge Productions, which also made The Curse of Humpty Dumpty and The Legend of Jack and Jill. So, it seems they’ve got form for putting a bloody take on childhood stories.

At the moment, details are scarce about Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, and with no official synopsis just yet we don’t really know what the film is about. However, from a batch of images, it looks as though Winnie and Piglet will be killers wearing these masks.
The film’s IMDB page states that it’s “A horror retelling of the famous legend of Winnie the Poo.” Whatever it turns out to be, it’s definitely one to keep your eye on. After all, it’s not every day you see Winnie the Pooh with a hammer.
