Exclusive Images: Gory and Raunchy ‘Popeye’ Horror Movie Coming in Early 2025!
The latest iconic public domain character to get a twisted horror movie is Popeye, Bloody Disgusting has learned, with ITN Studios currently hard at work on their horror movie Popeye.
Expected to chew spinach and tear apart bodies in January 2025, ITN’s Popeye is *not* connected to the “twisted childhood universe” known as the Poohniverse, we have to note.
Rene August is producing the Popeye horror movie, with William Stead directing. Described as a “raunchy and gory slasher,” here’s the first official plot synopsis for the film:
The legend of Popeye haunts a group of councilors as they intend to open a summer camp.
Steven Murphy plays Popeye in the upcoming horror movie, and Bloody Disgusting has been exclusively provided with a gallery of first look images of the beefed up slasher maniac.
Expect a trailer and release date soon. Stay tuned, sailors!
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
