The Stars Come Out in Mass For Uni’s Halloween Horror Nights!
What’s quickly becoming one of my favorite days of the year is Universal Studios Hollywood’s opening night for their annual Halloween Horror Nights, which runs all the way through November 1. Last night the event opened with a red carpet walk, the 6th anual Eyegore Awards and then a special treat for the horror journalists… SpookyDan was escorted through the TEXAS CHAINSAW maze with none other than Tobe Hooper, while I had the chance to tour the park and the FRIDAY THE 13th maze with the new Jason Voorhees, Derek Mears, the writers of both the new FRIDAY and FREDDY VS JASON, Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, and one of the teen stars of the remake, Arlen Escarpeta. Inside you’ll find our massive image gallery from the event. Click here for more info on Halloween Horror Nights.

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.
