spazztichero - Childhood things can be spooky! but cheap slasher cash in bullshit is just never good. (Why would you make Pooh a generic slasher villain, come on, that's so boring and pathetic)
Right along when Saw was at its peak, a movie based on a King work i liked came out, 1408, and it passed mostly under the radar of many but i loved it for being refreshingly spooky instead of jump scare slasher body horror torture stuff. Because you’re so right, it’s boring and pathetic. It’s taking the lazy path to scaring someone
Yeah! There's plenty of shivery kid spookiness in Pooh, so there must be good routes to exploring that for adults too! Something rooted in the specificity of the story and characters instead of just "childhood icon is actually gory murderer".
(I am glad 1408 was a good time for you!) (King has so many varied ins to horror, though I haven't read much of his)
