Movies ‘The Unknown’ – A Horror Movie Based on the Viral “Wonka Experience” Has Been Announced It’s a longstanding tradition for the horror world to capitalize on trends and turn literally anything and everything into a horror movie, so it’s no big surprise that a horror movie based on the viral “Willy Wonka Experience” has already been announced. It’s titled , announced this morning by Scotland-based film production company Kaledonia Pictures. The Unknown The unofficial “Willy Wonka Experience” took the internet by storm last week (read all about it here), essentially becoming this year’s answer to the disastrous Fyre Festival. Long story short, AI-generated artwork was employed to lure the unsuspecting Glasgow public into what looked to be an immersive, Willy Wonka-themed experience ripped straight out of the movies, but what they instead found was a warehouse sparsely decorated with dollar store decorations and populated by characters that looked like they were pulled out of, well, horror movies. One of those characters became known across the internet as The Unknown, who wears a silver mask and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the Willy Wonka movies. It seems that character, which terrified children at the aforementioned event and quickly became an ironic fan favorite online, is the inspiration for this upcoming horror movie. Kaledonia Pictures previews, “The film, gearing up for production and a late 2024 release, follows a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son, Charlie. Desperate to escape their grief, the couple leave the world behind for the remote Scottish Highlands – where an unknowable evil awaits them.” The company tells Bloody Disgusting. “We are excited to begin production and look forward to sharing more with you as soon as possible. We are actually only a few miles from the event, so it is quite surreal to see Glasgow all over social media, worldwide.” The Unknown is aiming for release in late 2024. Stay tuned for more.
