The Little Train That Could… Kill!

Yes, it’s The Little Train That Could Kill! It’s the terrifying train movie for children!

In this movie, Thomas the Tank Engine is driving down the tracks when he sees that someone has tied someone to the railroad tracks (!) like in the silent movies. Sadly, it is around a blind curve, and there’s no time to stop, so Thomas runs over the victim and kills them. But, rather than feeling horrified, Thomas feels exhilarated! And so, wanting to feel more of the power and euphoria from his first kill, Thomas hides behind bushes and waits for people to walk across, or down, the railroad tracks, and then he jumps out and onto the tracks, racing forward and killing them, claiming later it was an accident. And he gets away with it too, leading us to the horrifying sequels: Choo Choo CharnelTrain Track TerrorCow Catcher Carnage*, and Steam Engine Serial Killer.

That’s The Little Train That Could Kill! Coming soon to a theater near you!

You’ll never cross a railroad track again…!

* This is where Thomas makes himself a cow catcher converted into a bunch of sharp blades to impale anything in his path, sort of like a train engine version of Freddy Krueger’s murderous bladed glove.
