Yet another Winnie-the-Pooh Horror movie is coming to theaters.
It may have received some of the worst reviews of the century and won the Razzie Award for Worst Film of 2023but Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey did well enough at the box office to get a sequel – and now another sequel. The franchise’s producers say they are already planning a Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3.
The second film was recently shown in theaters via a Fathom Events release – and it actually received much better reviews than the original film. The original Blood and Honey it currently holds a score of 3 on Rotten Tomatoes, while the sequel scored a 50. An almost 20x improvement!

According to Variety, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 “will have a bigger budget than the previous films and will introduce new characters from the original Winnie the Pooh stories, including Rabbit, the heffalumps and the woozles.” I really don’t want to know what a horror movie version of a heffalump looks like.
The creators of these public domain horror films also recently announced that they were making several other slashers inspired by children’s films, including Bambi: the reckoning, Peter Pan’s Neverland NightmareIt is Pinocchio without a rope. So they will combine all these movies in 2025 Poohniverse: monster assembly when, a press release threatens, “monsters join forces to bring down the world.” I guess the lesson here is: when you don’t have to pay the creators of existing IP, you can actually produce these films quickly and cheaply.
