Scott Chambers plays a key role in the Poohniverse — films taking beloved childhood stories and twisting them into something much, much darker. His latest, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, drops in theaters January 13, 14, and 15 before heading to VOD.
He and I chatted about the inherent darkness in J.M. Barrie’s original Peter Pan, how one figures out where to ratchet up the darkness and where to dial it back, and what might happen next in these twisted childhood tales.
From Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, the makers of Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 1 & 2, comes Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, a new entry in the Twisted Childhood Universe. Written and directed by Scott Chambers, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare arrives in theaters for three days only starting January 13, 2025 until January 15, 2025 only from Iconic Events Releasing.
The newest entry into the Poohniverse follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from the clutches of the evil Peter Pan who intends to send him to Neverland. Along the way she meets a twisted Tinkerbell, who is hooked on what she thinks is fairy dust.
