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 forPeter 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 alaITstyle), 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.
