‘Shiver Me Timbers’ Trailer – A Third Bloody Popeye Horror Movie Is Coming Soon

It seems like a new public domain horror movie pops up every time we shut our eyes for a couple minutes, with two horror movies featuring the Popeye character already announced in recent months. In addition to Popeye the Slayer Man and Popeye’s Revenge, we’ve learned this week that Popeye horror movie Shiver Me Timbers is also headed our way.

Alpake Entertainment has released the bloody trailer for Shiver Me Timbers this morning, letting us know that the horror-comedy is headed to the European Film Market in Berlin.

The film has already been acquired by Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, for North America, with a scheduled release date in April 2025.

Watch the official trailer for director Paul Mann’s Shiver Me Timbers below.

“Blending classic slasher thrills with off-the-wall comedy, Shiver Me Timbers pays homage to ’80s horror while bringing Popeye into his most terrifying adventure yet.”

Here’s the synopsis: “In Northern California during the summer of 1986, Olive Oyl, along with her cinema- obsessed friends and brother Castor, embark on a once-in-a-lifetime camping trip to witness the dazzling meteor shower accompanying the arrival of Halley’s comet. But what starts as a serene evening of stargazing quickly turns into a harrowing nightmare when a meteor from the comet transforms Popeye, into a terrifying and unstoppable killing machine.”
