Following the release of two “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” films, Jagged Edge Productions is gearing up to unveil another chilling tale drawn from a cherished childhood character – none other than “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”. This spine-tingling spectacle is set to make a brief appearance in cinemas this month. The first glimpse of the movie, as revealed by the initial trailer, seems to veer dramatically away from what fans have previously witnessed in either of the “Blood and Honey” installments.
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve got to say that the horror film “Peter Pan” by Scott Chambers is a far cry from the charming tales of Winnie-the-Pooh. In this version, Peter Pan isn’t a jolly boy who flies around in search of adventure; instead, he’s a troubled soul with a twisted mission. Having endured a harrowing childhood himself, he aims to “save” boys from a nightmare world – but his idea of salvation is anything but comforting. This chilling story shares more echoes of the haunting thriller “The Black Phone” than it does with any fantastical bloodbath like “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.
In our conversation with Scott Chambers prior to the release of “Peter Pan,” I posed the question about why these movies, set in the same shared universe, exhibit such distinct differences.
In other words, when it comes to Peter Pan or the entire Poohniverse, each new piece will have a unique flavor compared to the previous one, making it appealing to various groups of viewers, as explained by Chambers.
He frequently relates this to the “Conjuring” cinematic world, noting that when you watch a Conjuring movie, such as The Nun or others, you have a general idea of what to expect. While there may not be actual deaths, it will have a distinct tone, mood, and some effective jump scares. Despite being a casual fan of these films, he isn’t particularly thrilled about the overall universe. As a horror enthusiast, his aim was to create a universe that doesn’t exclude people who might not be fond of the Conjuring universe in its entirety.
I delved deeper into that aspect, clarifying that the intention behind our franchise is to cater to various types of viewers. If the “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” films don’t resonate with you, there’s still something for everyone, like the “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.” Although they share the same universe, these stories have minimal genetic similarities.
The filmmaker explained that if you’re not fond of “Winnie-the-Pooh” parts one and two, it’s perfectly fine because “Pan” might appeal to you instead, as its tone is quite distinct. Moving forward, they mentioned “Pinocchio Unstrung,” which also has a unique tone compared to the other stories. The filmmaker noted that while the tone changes in each story, it does so in a way that fits perfectly with the narrative at hand.
I’m not about creating films without purpose, so choosing Peter Pan made sense to me. Upon examination, the original story presents a character who secretly enters children’s bedrooms while they sleep, lowers them out of windows, and takes them to Neverland. To me, that’s inherently creepy. I wanted to preserve the familiar aspects we cherish about it while telling it truthfully.
To effectively establish Peter Pan as the main antagonist in the upcoming film “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble”, it was crucial to make “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare” more somber and ominous. This way, audiences can accept him as a villain before the story unfolds in the movie.
He expressed that with his unique, somewhat somber twist, the story is shaping up to be “Poohniverse: Monsters Unite.” He explained that as each installment unfolds, it’s crucial for the audience to have a particular emotional response towards these characters. So, when new films are introduced, they will connect in a way that makes sense when viewed together. Just like in “Freddy vs. Jason,” the audience is likely to side more with Jason than Freddy in each film, and this trend continues throughout the series.
In simpler terms, “Since I’m dealing with numerous villains in my movie adaptation of Peter Pan, I won’t be able to include that particular element. Instead, Peter Pan becomes the main antagonist, and there are also other evil soldiers and characters involved. This is why I made the creative choices I did.
Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare will play in theaters from January 13th through January 15th.
