Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield also brought Winnie The Pooh, another iconic character in the public domain, to the horror genre.
More adaptations for these kinds of movie characters are on the way, with films featuring Bambi and Peter Pan set to release later this year.
Frake-Waterfield is working to create an “expanded horror universe,” and a film where these characters all come together is already in the works.
