Trailer For The Popeye-Inspired Horror Movie SHIVER ME TIMBERS — GeekTyrant

There’s another terrible-looking Popeye-insipred horror movie coming up titled Shiver Me Timbers. This movie does not look good in any way.

Thanks to the success of low-budget horror movies like Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey, we are seeing more and more of these kinds of classic kid stories getting the low-budget horror movie treatment, and they just get worse and worse.

This movie is described as a “raunchy and gory slasher,” and Stephen Murphy is set to play the title character, with William Stead on board as director.

The synopsis reads: “Olive Oyl, her brother Castor and friends, go on a camping trip to see the meteor shower with Halley’s Comet. But the night turns into horror as a meteor transforms Popeye into an unstoppable killing machine.

“With thrilling 80s slasher references and comedic twists, the film combines elements of horror and comedy in a fresh take on both genres. Shiver Me Timbers pays tribute to classic slasher films while delivering hilarious moments, shocking scares, and nostalgic nods that will delight both horror and Popeye fans alike.

Here’s another synopsis that was shared: In Northern California during the summer of 1986, Olive Oyl, along with her cinema-obsessed friends and brother Castor, embark on a once-in-a-lifetime camping trip to witness the dazzling meteor shower accompanying the arrival of Halley’s Comet.

“But what starts as a serene evening of stargazing quickly turns into a harrowing nightmare when a meteor from the comet transforms Popeye, into a terrifying and unstoppable killing machine.”

This is one of two Popeye horror movies coming out. The other one is titled Popeye The Slayer Man. But, some horror fans enjoy watching these ridiculous micro-budget horror movies.
