Paddington Scare

11 August 2014

By Yasmine

Paddington Bear first appeared on TV screens back in 1958. He has featured in more than 70 books which have sold over 30 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 30 languages, so Paddington Bear is kind of a big deal to kids, but now, he’s their worst nightmare!

The marmalade-loving bear has now turned into a blood-thirsty beast. After a digital make over, the innocent bear now appears to be starring in recognised horror films such as Scream, Friday the 13th and Chucky.

All the posters and unforgettable horror moments all have Paddington Bear present in them, curtesy of Tumblr. With the child-friendly movie due out in November, people thought it was only right to turn Paddington into a creepy villain after an uncanny photo was released of the fictional character standing outside of Buckingham Palace. Whatever horror movie you can think of, Paddington Bear is now present in them.

May he forever haunt our sleep.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
