‘Wonky Willy’: VFX Artists Turn ‘Willy Wonka’ into a Gruesome Horror Movie [Video]

Published

As many have pointed out over the years, there’s something inherently nightmarish about Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, wherein a group of children meet existentially terrifying fates while locked inside a chocolate factory by a candy-obsessed madman. Of course, none of the children actually die, but they’re essentially knocked off one-by-one throughout the film.

So what if Willy Wonka, well, *was* a gory, rated “R” horror movie?

The visual effects artists over at Corridor have just turned the family-friendly classic into a straight up horror movie with Wonky Willy, a 6-minute video that digitally alters clips from the 1971 film and makes several standout moments a whole lot more gruesome. For starters, Wonky Willy kicks off with little Charlie Bucket murdering a man and stealing his Golden Ticket.

From there, things get *really* crazy…

Check out Wonky Willy below, along with a making-of video underneath!

Face Your Fears in ‘Don’t Be Afraid 2’, Coming to PC and Consoles [Trailer]

Published

Eneida Games and Cat-astrophe Games are following up 2020’s horror adventure title Don’t Be Afraid with the sequel, Don’t Be Afraid 2. The developers have released a new gameplay trailer, delving into the details of the sequel.

Don’t Be Afraid 2 sees you once again in the shoes of David, who is 15 years removed from the events of the first game. For years, David tried to pick up the pieces and deal with the damage the events left on him. Unable to keep a job, find a partner, or even handle simple daily tasks, he leads a pitiful life under the watchful eye of his therapist. Unfortunately, David’s past has caught up to him sooner than he expected, resulting in him now reliving the darkest moments of his life. David must now gather clues about his past and solve puzzles left behind by the deranged murderer toying with his life, trying to find a way out of a mansion where the line between dreams and reality is blurred.

As such, Don’t Be Afraid 2 features two unique endings. Will you escape or succumb to your fears? Can you deal with David’s past or will it break you? You’ll have to struggle your way through the horrors that endure in David’s psyche, navigating a series of sinister escape rooms, and uncover the chilling truth behind the nightmares.

“The original Don’t Be Afraid was much loved by a community, brave horror game fans that accepted the frightening challenge ahead of them,” says Krzysztof Szymański, Narrative Director. “Now, we propose an even scarier, and gut-wrenching experience not for the faint of heart. Will you have what it takes to survive? We can’t wait to see you try!”

Don’t Be Afraid 2 is currently in development for PC via Steam, Playstation 5, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch.
