According to Rhys Frake-Waterfield, he’s not willing to risk the anger of the House of Mouse by creating a slasher centered around Mickey. “I’m still very on edge about that,” Frake-Waterfield told Yahoo!

Fans of “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood And Honey” will, however, likely be delighted to learn that Frake-Waterfield is already preparing to create a whole slew of microbudget horror films about public domain characters which have also received the Disney film treatment, like “Bambi” or “Peter Pan.” “Bambi has a lot of attraction. It’s the same thing as Pooh: People are like, ‘How can Bambi be a killer?’ It makes people’s imaginations run a bit wild.”
