Tis the season for rabbits! Happy Fright Films has released "Thumper’s Revenge," a horror comedy short film. You can watch it for free on YouTube here.
Synopsis: Screams echo in the meadow and blood will spill when hunters take aim at Bambi from the hill. They can run and they can plead, but Thumper is about to make them bleed.
If you're excited for "WINNIE-THE-POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY 2" and hungry for more h*micid*l Disney characters, check this out.
Director Sean Haitz (Big Top Evil, Cannibal Comedian) presents his new award-winning horror/comedy short film "Thumper’s Revenge." Written by Haitz and Mark Cerulli ("Halloween" Unmasked 2000), it stars Johnny Hoops (Babylon), Clair Brauer (AREA 5150), Haitz, and Aaron Prager (Cannibal Comedian, Haunted House OF Pancakes).
Director’s quote: “I was totally inspired by WINNIE-THE-POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY,” Haitz says, though he came up with a more plausible concept for his project. “I thought of an alternative route with the Disney characters: Let’s laser focus on Thumper, which I felt was a fun name for a title. I also thought, let’s have Bambi and Thumper as humans who are Disney freaks who cosplay in the forest dressing up like the characters. It was really fun to shoot, and I hope people get a kick out of it!” You can hop along with "THUMPER’S REVENGE" on Instagram: thumpersrevengemovie
