Joel Medina (he/him) is a proud LGBTQ+ person of color who spent his life devouring all things horror. Studying media and its intersections with social issues in college led him to understand that the television, books, and films that he spent his childhood consuming had huge impacts on the societies that created them.

The Big Picture Horror that turns childhood mascots into villains is a booming industry, with movies and video games showcasing just how terrifying these characters can become. This is exemplified in the much-awaited slasher Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, a film that seized upon the beloved character becoming public domain by turning him into a maniacal, bloodthirsty creature hunting down his former best friend, Christopher Robin.

The Banana Splits Movie R Young Harley is having a dream birthday; he and his family are going to watch the taping of his favourite show. But the dream becomes a nightmare when the animatronic stars turn homicidal. The Banana Splits Movie had a harder path to bloodying up its lore because, well, there wasn't much to draw from. It was based on The Banana Splits TV show, created by the historic Hanna-Barbera Productions, and featured a rock band made up of the anthropomorphic animals Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snorky . It was a children's variety show that was entertaining, but unlike Winnie the Pooh, the horror film didn't have a story to draw from to create a terrifying narrative.
