Over the past few years we have seen popular Disney characters get thrown into, to put it bluntly, interesting horror movies. Characters like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse have made their way into the horror genre, and now another Disney fan-favorite is next. STOP RUINING OUR CHILDHOODS!

It looks like the cave of wonders will become the cave of horrors, as Deadline reports a new horror movie inspired by the Disney classic Aladdin is now in the works. The film will be called Aladdin: The Monkey’s Paw, and production has already begun — so no there’s no going back now.

The movie will be a dark, twisted, and supernatural reimagining of the story of Aladdin. Empire Studios, Every Entertainment, and 8th Law Pictures will be producing the film. The filming will start in late May of 2025, and it will take place in the UK.

Let’s take a look at the film synopsis as a whole:

“A modern-day Londoner, Aladdin, inherits an ancient monkey’s paw believed to grant wishes, only to discover that every desire comes at a soul-crushing price. As those around him fall victim to its curse, he must confront a growing evil — and the demonic force that feeds on every wish made.”

Producer of the film, Charley McDougall, stated, “We always wanted to explore horror through a personal lens — not just the scares, but the human cost of wishes.” He also went on to say, “This story’s been haunting us for a while, and it’s time to let it loose. The best horror films haunt you long after the credits roll. That’s what this story does. It’s sharp, emotional, and full of dread in all the right ways. We’re not just making another horror film — we’re building a world around a truly iconic concept. The paw, the mythology, the characters — it’s all there.”

It’s pretty obvious that this will not be anything like the Disney animated movie! As production continues, we’ll start to hear more about the film (although we don’t know if we want to). Make sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog, you never know who will fall victim to the horror genre next!
