The Twisted Childhood Universe, better known as “Poohniverse”, is about to put a bloody spin on another beloved childhood story: Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare. From the team behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and its 2024 sequel, this ghoulish rendition of 1902 J.M. Barrie is nothing like the original. Instead of “the boy who didn’t grow up”, this version stars a fearful, adult man harboring sinister intentions. Instead of taking fellow children by the hand and flying them out gleefully through the skies, this Peter is a child kidnapper, forcing them out of their homes and shoving them into his sick version of Neverland.
Starring Martin Portlock as the grisly Peter Pan. The film also features Megan Placito as Wendy Darling, who in this version of the story, must rescue her brother Michael (Peter DeSouza-Feighoney) before something bad to him. Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare marks the third installment in the overall Twisted Childhood Universe lineup. Also slated for a 2025 release are Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. Without further ado, here’s where you can catch Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare in a theater near you.

Watch the Trailer for 'Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare'
Like any film from the Twisted Childhood Universe, the beloved, family-friendly Peter Pan is construed into a child-kidnapping, raggedy-faced monster. Gone are the green tunic and silly little hat. However, like the original character, this killer Peter Pan can also fly. In the trailer for Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, Peter Pan doesn’t whimsically fly into children’s bedrooms through their windows. He crawls his way up from basements in the night (similar to Pennywise ala IT style), stops a bus full of children in the middle of the street, and viscerally rips out the skin from someone’s head.
Peter Pan’s vendetta is simple: with his identity shielded by a ghoulish mask, this monstrous adult Peter grabs young children throws them into his van, and brings them to his sick version of Neverland. Anyone who dares get in his way will face the wrath of his butcher knife. Ironically enough, the insane Pan believes that the only way to protect children is by kidnapping them. Say goodbye to childhood innocence, and say hello to wicked bloodiness.
