Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood & Honey 3 Confirmed, Next OG Characters Getting Horror Versions Revealed

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 has been confirmed, along with confirming the next character getting reimagined. Debuting the first franchise entry in 2023, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is a mascot horror film that translates the likes of Pooh and Piglet as murderous killers. The film was an unexpected hit, with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 was released in theaters the following year.

Per Variety, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 has been announced. According to the source, the threequel is confirmed by franchise director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Chambers of Jagged Edge Productions. In addition to the announcement of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3’s production will depict even more of the original A.A. Milne characters, including Rabbit, the heffalumps, and the woozles.

How Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 Will Raise the Stakes In a Good Way

Blood And Honey Has Set Up More Public Domain Horror Movies

The producers state that the film will be given a bigger budget than the previous two Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey installments. An increased budget can be a double-edged sword for a horror film like Blood and Honey. On the surface, it may seem that any microbudget film would benefit from more money available. Fans of the first Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey might worry, however, that throwing more money at the project would risk Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey losing its practical effects-laden, small-budget, cult film feel.

However, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is a great case study in how the franchise can expand. Like Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3, the series’ second installment upped the budget from the first film. This change, however, resulted in a much better film by comparison. Whereas the first movie received a meager 3% on Rotten Tomatoes, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2‘s reviews put it at 53% on the aggregator site. Audiences have also liked Blood and Honey 2 so far, with an 82% audience approval at the time of writing.
