‘Die Laughing’ – Horror-Comedy Anthology Features ‘Trouser Snake’ and More Horror Shorts
Horror-comedy anthology Die Laughing is now available on Blu-ray via Bonelady Studios, who curated 21 shorts from 10 independent filmmakers — including yours truly!
Trouser Snake is my comedic send-up to 1950s creature features. A night of necking at Lovers’ Lane gets the shaft when a monster rears its ugly head in the 5-minute short, which you can watch below.
Die Laughing also includes segments directed by George James Fraser, Erica Stockwell-Alpert, Jim McDonough, David Bornstein, Seth Chatfield, Peter Levine, Sophia Cacciola, Porcelain Dalya, and Elizabeth Theis.
For only $10, you can witness demon summoning, serial killers, ghostly hauntings, illegal cloning, adorable vampires, monkeys, and more. But be warned… you might just Die Laughing!

The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
