New Horror Movie “Mickey vs Winnie” Puts a Slasher Spin on Your Childhood

The horror movie genre has your childhood locked firmly in its sights with the latest crossover storyline - Mickey vs Winnie.

Truly, this was bound to happen when Disney relinquished its hold on Mickey's copyright in January 2024. iHorror is beginning production on "Mickey vs Winnie" "a groundbreaking horror slasher directed by Glenn Douglas Packard . This isn’t just any horror slasher; it’s a visceral showdown between twisted versions of childhood favorites Mickey Mouse and Winnie-the-Pooh. ‘Mickey vs. Winnie’ brings together the now-public-domain characters from A. A. Milne’s ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ books and Mickey Mouse from the 1920s Steamboat Willie cartoon in a VS battle like never before seen."

As hard as it may to imagine these childhood friends as anything but familiar, sweet faces, the plotline is spooky and strong. Beginning in the 1920's the film introduces us to two escaped convicts who unfortunately stumble into a curse where (of course) a darkness takes hold of them. In perfect horror troupe form, the story then picks up one hundred years later with a group of pals who just to explore a nice day in nature. Nature being the cursed forest (of course). Thus unfolds a terror-filled adventure chock full of all the blood spillage and horror that you didn't even know Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh were capable of.

Director Glenn Douglas Packard shared: “Mickey vs Winnie” as a tribute to horror fans’ love for iconic crossovers, which often remain just a fantasy due to licensing restrictions. “Our film celebrates the thrill of combining legendary characters in unexpected ways, serving up a nightmarish yet exhilarating cinematic experience,”.

We love a good Versus movie! No word yet on when the film is set to release, we will keep you updated as it develops.

When the weather gets nice, it's time to start thinking about easy campfire treats.

Did somebody say s'mores? Camping season is upon us! It's time to start rounding up your bug spray, tents, flashlights and ghost stories to tell around the fire. Typically, campers start planning trips as soon as there is even a hint of warm weather and adventure kicks off around late spring, usually in May.

According to outdoorawaits.com there are several factors that define when we hit the grand wildness for camping adventures:

While the call of the wild remains constant, the inception of the camping season adapts to these factors, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Now, you really don't have to get all fancy with your easy campfire treats to have a good time. Yard camping is a favorite option for families especially those with small children. Pitch a tent in the yard, start a bonfire, and embrace the controlled wild.

Campfire cooking is a highlight of the whole camping experience since it's special event-type cuisine that you only get to enjoy under these circumstances, like Thanksgiving dinner or your cousin's bar mitzvah. We all know roasting hot dogs, marshmallows and making s'mores are camp cooking staples but I think it's time to get a little extra creative this summer.

I've gathered some of the most mouthwatering recipes for easy campfire treats to try on your next wilderness adventure, let me know which one's your favorite!

OMG, this is the one for me! Take your standard crispy rice treat and roast that bad boy over the fire for the roasted marshmallow experience of your dreams.  If you are feeling extra adventurous, add a piece of dark chocolate to the top of the roasted treat for an out of this world s'mores experience.

If s'mores don't light your fire (see what I did there?) check out these campfire churros.  With simple ingredients like canned crescent roll dough, melted butter and cinnamon sugar combine over your campfire into a doughy delight.

Honestly, is there anything that can't be improved by adding a little Fluff and fire? This is for those folks that don't like chocolate.

An all in one treat that is a crowd pleaser for sure, the campfire cone! Young kids especially get excited by this recipe, which calls for all fun things.  Start with a waffle cone and fill with your favorite yummies like m&ms, mini reeses or whatever floats your taste buds and mini marshmallows, wrap in foil and cook over the fire until nice and melty.

There's fruit so it has to be kind of healthy, right? The S'more banana boat is the cousin to the ice cream banana split and just as tasty!

Remember when I said that everything is improved by a lil' marshmallow Fluff? I steadfastly stand by that statement as I introduce the Campfire Oreo.  This one is espcially for those cookies and cream lovers out there.

Ok, don't judge me here, but I'm throwing in my vote to have this a camping breakfast option.  Simple ingredients and prep make for a delightful dish that will make even the youngest camp cook proud.   The cooking time is about 30 minutes in the coals of the fire (not in the blazing flames)

For you lovers of all things pumpkin spice, this one hits the mark.   A decidedly autumn bonfire treat, the standard smore is elevated with the addition of pumpkin puree and maple goodness.

Simplicity at its best! The humble hostess twinkie gets a makeover by the fire, resulting in a genius camping hack, catered to folks who aren't marshmallow fans.

Ok, I have tiktok to thank for this idea because never in a million years would I have thought to stick a Starburst candy in the fire and then eat.  It's important to let it cool some before consuming, because you don't want hot lava candy burning your mouth.
