Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Now, his long-lost 1973 industrial/horror film
The Amusement Park is heading to Shudder in June. By the looks of the trailer, we’re in for another absolute nightmare.
Believe it or not,
The Amusement Park wasn’t originally supposed to be a horror film at all. The Pittsburgh-based Lutheran Society approached Romero and his commercial company, The Latent Image, to make an industrial film about elder abuse. The result, after passing through Romero’s cynical brain, was a circular, pre-David Lynchian perversion of otherwise wholesome activities. Amusement parks can be freaky to begin with, but Romero’s take is downright sinister.
Mister Rogers’ neighborhood is expanding.
In rare welcome news of sprawl, PBS Kids is releasing a new puppet-led series called “Donkey Hodie,” inspired from characters in the original Fred Rogers TV show.
“Every part of it seems to be infused with joy and heart and humor,” says Adam Rudman, who co-created and co-produced the show with his brother, David. “And I think that’s something that Fred Rogers would appreciate.”
The whimsical series for children ages 3-5 starts airing Monday and centers on the adventures of Donkey Hodie, an enthusiastic yellow donkey with a bright magenta mane. She’s the granddaughter of the donkey puppet Rogers created back when TV shows were in black and white.
