Alpake Entertainment has released the uncensored red band trailer for Shiver Me Timbers, the first horror-comedy to feature a terrifying reimagining of Popeye. The film, directed by Paul Mann, blends slasher horror with offbeat humor and will be showcased at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin, where EuroObscura will handle international sales.

Shiver Me Timbers follows Olive Oyl, her brother Castor, and their friends as they embark on a camping trip to watch a meteor shower. Their plans take a deadly turn when a meteor transforms Popeye into an unstoppable force of destruction. The film draws inspiration from 1980s horror classics, delivering a mix of exaggerated gore and dark comedy.

Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, has secured North American distribution rights, with a release planned for April 2025. The newly released trailer offers a first look at the film’s intense action and comedic elements, showcasing a fresh and menacing take on the iconic sailor.

With its presence at the European Film Market, Shiver Me Timbers aims to expand its reach to international audiences. As anticipation builds, horror and comedy fans alike can expect a film that pushes the boundaries of both genres while delivering a unique spin on a well-known character.
