“Deep in the hundred-acre wood, where Christopher Robin plays, you will find the enchanted neighbourhood, of Christopher’s childhood days,” goes the Disney song for Winnie The Pooh, everyone’s favourite childhood character.

Except Christopher left his friend starving while he went to college, forcing Pooh and Piglet to turn thirsty for honey… and blood.

That’s right, the beloved characters have become murderous in the new horror movie, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.

They even ate Eeyore to survive, and now they’re after innocent people in the demented trailer, per HuffPost:

With A.A. Milne’s 1926 work entering the public domain this year, writer and director Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s has reimagined Pooh and Piglet as “feral” animals who go on a “rampage” after being abandoned by Christopher Robin, who leaves for college.

“Pooh and Piglet experienced a drastic drop in food as Christopher [Robin] grew up, so over the years [they] became increasingly hungry and feral,” Waterfield told HuffPost of his independent slasher film.

The trailer shows the fictional teddy bear and his pig companion commit numerous gory acts of violence:

Waterfield said that they had to be “extremely careful” of Disney’s interpretations of Pooh, saying that they did as much as possible to base the horror movie on the 1926 version of the character instead:

No official release date has been set, but the warped trailer hints it’s “coming soon”.

Please don’t, though.
