The Twisted Childhood Universe, or The TCU, is a British multimedia franchise and shared universe of independent slasher-horror films, each serving as a dark reimagining of various public domain children's fairy tale media characters. It was conceived and created by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, and produced by the filmmaker's Jagged Edge Productions film studio. The plot centers around beloved childhood characters, and through the storytelling lens of these characters becoming dark murderous monsters.

Contents

The franchise's first installment, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey , was met with a negative critical reception and a more mixed fan reception, though it turned a profit at the box office. The movie's quality was called into question, with criticisms directed at the script, acting, cinematography, and lack of humor. In response to this, Frake-Waterfield stated that he is determined to raise the standard with the future movies in the franchise.

Development

In 2022, after Winnie-the-Pooh entered the public domain, Jagged Edge Productions began production on a horror adaptation. [1] Upon releasing the first promotional images for the film, the movie became a viral Internet sensation. [2] After the movie's limited release, it was ultimately deemed a financial success, recouping $5 million from its small budget of $100,000. [3] Upon the monetary gain, Jagged Edge Productions announced plans to produce a sequel with a higher budget, while also stating that a then-unnamed cinematic universe featuring characters from various children's stories was in development. [4] [5] [6] [7] In February 2023, it was also stated that the characters in the each of the individual movies will ultimately share the screen in the form of a crossover. [4] [8] [9] [10] [11]

In March 2024, Jagged Edge Productions officially announced that the franchise will be titled The Twisted Childhood Universe, while also announcing a full slate of films, culminating in a cross-over movie. [12] [13]
