In 2023, the low-budget horror film Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, made for a mere $50,000, raked in over $5 million at the box office. This unexpected success seems to have launched a trend: adapting beloved childhood stories entering the public domain into gory reimaginings, all under the banner of the “Twisted Child Universe.” The latest addition to this unsettling franchise is Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, offering a terrifying twist on the classic tale of the boy who never grew up.

IGN critic Matt Donato, in his review, notes how director Scott Jeffrey “strives to accentuate his main character’s arrested adolescence by turning the boy who never grew up into a serial killer and kidnapper – keeping him more grounded than the typical pirates-and-fairies image of Peter Pan.” While this is the first new entry in the Twisted Universe since the Blood and Honey films, more twisted childhood tales are in the works, culminating in a planned multiverse-style crossover.
