I’m thinking of stuff like Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (whoever came up with the title — my condolences) and the upcoming Mickey Mouse horror film.
What’s up with that? Is it just an ‘up yours’ sort of thing? I suppose it all stems from It in one way or another, but I’m not sure what about these characters screams ‘That’ll make for a splendid horror!’. It’s not even the ‘why not come up with original IP’ part that seems odd here, just that it feels very much an ‘I’ll do it because I can’ exercise. On the other hand, I acknowledge I’m probably not seeing the full picture here, and it could be that putting a familiar toy in an unfamiliar context would feed interest, if nothing else.
