The Dark Domain: The Inevitable Mickey Vs Winnie The Pooh Horror Film
Winnie the Pooh became a public domain character in January of 2022 and unwittingly introduced the concept of turning freshly let loose IPs into the centerpieces of low-budget horror movies. The trend got a lot louder when Mickey Mouse became PD two years later. Now the inevitable has happened: someone’s making a “crossover” movie where Evil Mickey and Evil Pooh fight, killing a lot of folks in the process. They call it The Dark Domain: MVW Mickey-vs-Winnie and it’s being brought into existence by Untouchables Entertainment.
I could describe the “lore” of this thing, but I can’t possibly do it better justice than they did, so:
A century ago, two convicts disappeared into Hell Forest, a place feared for its dark legends and whispers of a malevolent curse. Their mysterious vanishing marked the beginning of tales about a sinister force lurking within the forest, feeding on those who dared to enter.
In the present day, a group of childhood friends, each haunted by their own unresolved traumas and fears, feels an inexplicable pull to return to the reform school they once attended. Nestled in the center of the forest’s dark heart, the abandoned hell-camp stands as a decaying monument to their lost innocence. Its walls echoing with secrets and forgotten horrors. Each of them is drawn by a force they cannot understand, as if the forest itself is calling them to confront the darkness of their anxieties, regrets, and unhealed wounds.
The forest takes shape in the grotesque forms of twisted versions of two beloved childhood figures: Dark Mickey and Dark Winnie. These monstrous entities, born from the darkest corners of the group’s psyche, embody their worst fears and regrets—Dark Mickey, a sinister manipulator and bloodthirsty force of chaos, and Dark Winnie, a feral predator who thrives on destruction.
As the two clash in a violent, unrelenting battle, their fight becomes more than just a physical confrontation. These twisted incarnations, born from the group’s own inner demons, force them to face not only the nightmarish creatures but also the darkness within themselves.
That’s quite a lot to chew on. You could say these guys really take their Winnie the Pooh horror seriously. Dark Mickey is played by Daniel Wilkinson, who previously starred in something called Pitchfork, and Dark Winnie is Chris Boudreaux, who has NCIS on his resume. The flick was directed by Glenn Douglas Packard.
The Dark Domain: MVW Mickey-vs-Winnie has finished post-production and is expected to premiere later this year. Oh bother.
