Thomas the Tank Engine Never Looked So Terrifying
Some childhood icons are the epitome of innocence, not matter how much people try to take them and twist them into something monstrous or evil. Think of Winnie the Pooh, the Berenstain Bears, Smurfs, etc… These are playful and completely devoid of any ill will, focusing on trying to instill good values into all who watch.
One such figure is Thomas the Tank Engine. You know, the little engine that could? Teaching perseverance and tenacity, all with a “can do” attitude, Thomas is a favorite for parents to show their children. But what if Thomas went a little…off the rails? And yes, that pun was totally intended. Well, as shown by Twitter user Y_Nakajima, that would result in perhaps one of the most twisted transformations I’ve seen. Honestly, this is some Tetsuo: Iron Man shit going on here.
Below is a gallery of four images and below that is video of the toy in action. Yes, it actually moves. It’s basically the latest member of Puppet Master.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
