One banana, two banana, three banana, GORE! Lovers of Saturday Morning Cartoons are going to have their heads split open next week whenThe Banana Splits Moviehits home video with a big red splat of chainsaw-chewing violence. That’s right, American’s favorite animal band is back, and this time they’re taking no prisoners. Cause they’re going to eat them instead.
What the bloody hell is this? Well, if it looks like someone got the bright idea to turn Hanna-Barbera’s 1968The Banana Splits Adventure Hourvariety program into a big screen version ofFive Nights at Freddy’s, you wouldn’t be wrong. A movie based on that popular video game has been in the works for quite a while now. And it is rumored thatThe Banana Splits Movieis actually using an old script that was originally written for Freddy and his Terrifying friends.
So if your seeing any similarities, you’re not far off. Apparently it was much easier to get Hanna-Barbera to sign off on letting their dusty oldThe Banana Splits Adventure Hourserve as a means for serving up some cold, low body blows in what is sure to be one of the weirdest horror movies to come down the pike yet. It doesn’t hurt that it carries some very strongKISS Meets the Phantom of the Parkvibes along with it.
