  • On May 23, 2024, a Facebook post from the page YODA BBY ABY claimed that comedy actor Fred Armisen will star in a horror movie about iconic children's television host Fred Rogers of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," except it would turn Rogers into a serial killer. The post, which had more than 5,000 likes and had been shared almost 3,000 times as of this writing, showed Armisen dressed like Rogers, while wielding a knife. The post also claimed the movie would be released in October 2024. The caption read: MR. ROGERS - ROB ZOMBIE!!! In the twisted vision of Rob Zombie, ROGERS reimagines the beloved neighborhood icon in a chilling new light. Fred Armisen stars as Mr. Rogers, whose warm smile and gentle demeanor mask a terrifying secret life as a serial killer. As the facade of his idyllic world unravels, a hidden trail of horror and mystery emerges, plunging his unsuspecting neighbors into a nightmarish struggle for survival. "ROGERS" promises a haunting and thrilling journey, arriving just in time for Halloween 2024. However, the above claim was fabricated and there was no evidence that such a movie was actually being made. If this were the case, there would have been mainstream news coverage and a promotional campaign involving the main stars. A search of Fred Armison's IMDb page found there was no upcoming movie with him in the role. A Google reverse-image search also yielded no authentic sources for the poster in the post. The post originated from a Facebook page that is satirical in nature. YODA BBY ABY describes everything it posts as satirical. According to its Facebook introduction: "I'm just here to eat frogs, lift rocks and be satirical. The page is 100% satire and fake news." Given this disclaimer is on the page, we rate this claim as "Labeled Satire." This is not the first time we have fact-checked posts from this page. Previously, a post promoted a fake poster for a "Hocus Pocus" prequel series. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
