Los Angeles Gets a Tim Burton-themed Restaurant
When going to Chili’s isn’t going to cut it, those in New York could take a trip to Beetle House, a Tim Burton-themed restaurant and bar inspired by all things dark and lovely. It’s been such a popular attraction that they’ve expanded to another huge market, Los Angeles, offering Gothic delights to those in California.
While they are in no way affiliated with Tim Burton or Warner Bros., they are an independently owned and operated bar and restaurant run by some super fans of Tim Burton, horror films and all things Halloween. They have used their our own artistic adaptation to create food and drinks that they believe are inspired by and inspire
this type of art.
Of course, if this were to open in Chicago, the first drink I would order would be “The Beetles juice”, made with muddled blackberry and limes, Tequila, Blackberry schnapps, Angostura bitters, and a splash of cranberry. There’s also the hilarious “Barnabas Collins”, “Coco skellington” and “This is Halloween!” Of course, I’ll order anything Pee-Wee related.

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.
