Well, this is strange-ass news… It looks like Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and Syfy are bringing back something called THE BANANA SPLITS. The trippy characters were introduced back in 1968 as the anthropomorphic hosts of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour variety program. The group featured a lion, a beagle, an elephant, and an orange gorilla. But now it seems that the creepy bunch will be returning in a horror-thriller.

Which makes complete sense. I mean look at them (above)! Here’s the official synopsis for the upcoming horror thriller:

A boy named Harley and his family (brother Austin, mother Beth, and father Mitch) attends a taping of The Banana Splits TV show, which is supposed to be a fun-filled birthday for young Harley and business as usual for Rebecca, the producer of the series. But things take an unexpected turn — and the body count quickly rises. Can Harley, his mom and their new pals safely escape?

Adventure Hour was an hour-long, packaged television variety program featuring the Banana Splits, a fictional rock band composed of four funny animal characters. The costumed hosts of the show were Fleegle (guitar, vocals), Bingo (drums, vocals), Drooper (bass, vocals) and Snorky (keyboards, effects).
The series was produced by Hanna-Barbera, and ran for 31 episodes on NBC Saturday mornings, from September 7, 1968, to September 5, 1970, and in syndication from 1971 to 1982. The costumes and sets were designed by Sid and Marty Krofft, and the series’ sponsor was Kellogg’s Cereals.^[1] The show featured both live action and animated segments, and was Hanna-Barbera’s first foray into mixing live action with animation.
