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.

Betty Boop, Blondie, and Pluto join the Public Domain. I can’t wait to see a ravenous Pluto go on a rampage.

For over 30 years, we have been dancing to Rednex’s Cotton Eye Joe. But what if we were screaming at it?
Not as in singing the lyrics, but because Cotton Eye Joe is the legendary killer in a Horror movie.
Commercial director Nick Merola is asking for help to make that happen on Kickstarter.
It is described as: When four friends break down on a deserted country road, they seek refuge on a remote farm, only to awaken the brutal legend of Cotton Eye Joe, a relentless killer tied to the land’s dark past. As night falls, survival becomes a desperate game of cat and mouse in this backwoods slasher.
If you want to see where did he come from? Where did he go? Where did he come from, Cotton Eye Joe? Then help contribute so that he can reach his goal of $100,000. You know you want to make it happen as much as I do.
I really hope he gets Rednex to donate a few bucks to the cause.
If he raises the money, CEJ will film this Spring and be released the following year.
Labubus have taken over the world by storm, and I don’t know why. While I don’t get. Sony does, so they are making a movie about whatever the fuck those things are, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
But I have a feeling by the time the movie comes out, they will be a distant memory like Cabbage Patch Babies, Pound Puppies, Beanie Babies, Furbies, and Sea Monkeys. And that is not a bad thing.
Scream 7 started off as a nightmare behind the scenes when it lost its two female leads and its director. But then, Scream’s OGs Kevin Williamson and Neve Campbell agreed to return to the franchise.
After watching the trailer, it looks like that nightmare turned into a dream that will become our nightmare.
When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott (Campbell) has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.
Will it be the final battle between Sidney and Ghostface? We will find out on February 27th. And do you think that Ghostface is Matthew Lillard this go around?
Every now and again, I see a clip from a movie that leaves me wondering what the hell was going through the filmmaker’s head. And that is a lot coming from someone who grew up with Horror movies and enjoys watching the wackiest ones of them all.
So when I say this scene from Pearl left me shocked, you know that says a lot. I am sure there are Wizard of Oz pornodies out there, but I don’t think they ever dreamed of the Scarecrow and Dorothy doing this. That is, unless she took him to the Wizard to get a dick because he doesn’t need a brain in this scenario.
