The Banana Splits Being Revamped Into Horror Movie?!

Warner Bros. and SyFy are teaming up to reboot the 1968 hit children’s TV show, The Banana Splits, but not quite in the way you may be thinking. Instead of revamping the show as it’s original theme, a kid’s show, Warner Bros. and SyFy are revamping it into a horror movie.

“The Banana Splits will offer a new take on the classic characters, which were first introduced to audiences in 1968 with The Banana Splits Adventure Hour variety program. In the upcoming horror thriller, a boy named Harley and his family (brother Austin, mother Beth and father Mitch) attend a taping of The Banana Splits TV show, which is supposed to be a fun-filled birthday for young Harley and business as usual for Rebecca, the producer of the series. But things take an unexpected turn — and the body count quickly rises. Can Harley, his mom and their new pals safely escape?”

Dani Kind is set to play Beth, Finlay Wojtak-Hissong will play Harley, Romeo Carere will play Austin, Steve Lund as Mitch, and Sara Canning as Rebecca.

Our favorite characters from the original show, Bingo, Fleegle, Snorky and Drooper will also appear.
The movie will first be released on Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and then it will be released on the network.
