Shiver Me Timbers 2/IndieGoGo
Horror is being taken over by Public Domain characters like Winnie-the-Pooh, Mickey Mouse (Steamboat Willie), and Popeye, to name a few.
The latter was the star of several 2025 movies, including Shiver Me Timbers. It did so well that the Sailor Man is getting a sequel with his love, Olive Oyl, and they will be joined by Tarzan and Betty Boop. That is, if enough people support Alpake Entertainment’s IndieGoGo.
The sequel’s plot is: Weeks after the shocking events of Shiver Me Timbers, Popeye lands in New York and goes on a brutal killing spree in Little Italy, tearing through the local mafia’s ranks. Olive Oyl, now armed with a bionic, super-powered hand, travels to the city to avenge her brother’s death. Her journey leads her straight to the mafia boss’s nightclub, where she unexpectedly bonds with sultry singer Betty Boop.
Meanwhile, Father Flannigan and Sister Mary deliver exciting news to Mafia boss, Don Sangue: his long-lost son, now a grown man, has been found after disappearing as a child during a vacation in the jungle. However, while attempting to rehabilitate him, he escapes, tackling Popeye and taking a puff from his legendary pipe. The result? He transforms into a savage beast man, forging a twisted alliance with Popeye.
Now, Olive and Betty, with a little help from the mafia, must face the monstrous duo before it’s too late.
If that sounds like something you want to see, then contribute here.
Betty Boop, Blondie, and Pluto join the Public Domain. I can’t wait to see a ravenous Pluto go on a rampage.
Shiver Me Timbers is streaming for free on Hoopla, Plex, Tubi, and Fandango.
