Key Takeaways
- “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble” turns favorite kids’ characters into horror icons for 2025, mixing scares with childhood memories.
- After “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” made $5.2 million, its creators are expanding this dark twist into a full “Poohniverse” with more twisted tales.

Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble” is a low-budget horror crossover, bringing together many loved children’s characters as scary versions of themselves. Planned for a 2025 release, this film will put together a creepy crew of the storybook icons we once adored.
Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, having already spooked audiences with their take on Winnie the Pooh as a wild serial killer, are behind this project. This bold new take, which amazingly made over $5.2 million on a small budget, set the stage for the entire “Poohniverse.” Imagine Winnie the Pooh as a daunting figure alongside Bambi, Tinkerbell, and Peter Pan.
Scott Chambers, an actor-producer with Jagged Edge, shared the team’s vision, via Variety:
“As horror fans, we would love an Avengers that is all villains… We can make it happen in our own little way, and that’s where this film has been born.”
Before “Poohniverse” hits our screens, we’ll get to see the dark origins of its characters through movies like “Bambi: The Reckoning” and “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
The upcoming lineup includes “Bambi: The Reckoning,” “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare,” “Pinocchio Unstrung,” and the highly anticipated sequel to “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.
Scott Chambers elaborated on the vision of an ‘Avengers’ made up of all villains from the horror genre. This unique take on “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble” represents an attempt to do something similar.
These characters will also appear in standalone films under Jagged Edge’s Twisted Childhood Universe, leading up to the “Poohniverse.” The films will be filled with easter eggs that connect them to the upcoming horrifying crossover.
“We’ve got access to all these concepts, so it’s like our own little world, and we can do what we want with them,” says Rhys Jake-Waterfield.
The “Poohniverse” cast includes Scott Chambers as Christopher Robin, along with Megan Plactio, Roxanne Mckee, and Lewis Santer. They’ll portray the twisted versions of characters deep in our childhood memories, mixing familiarity and horror.
