FRANKIE FREAKO SYNOPSIS:

Workaholic yuppie Conor is in an existential rut until one night he catches a bizarre ad for a party hotline hosted by a strange dancing goblin: Frankie Freako. Could this be just the recipe to spice up his boring life?

 

It's time to get Freako!

From Steven Kostanski, creator of PG: Psycho Goreman, comes the new outrageously freako horror comedy Frankie Freako. From those unfamilar with PG: Psycho Goreman, you are missing out on an experience. Taking risks back to the 80s, this surreal alien comedy is full of antedotes that'll have you bursting out in laughter. Kostanski utilizes a majority of practical effects to elevate the carnage of the film further, so when we come into contact with the creatures from the filmmaker's mind, we can't help but be charmed. 

 

Are you ready to get Freako? Mischief, puppets and absurdist humor come together in Frankie Freako, a new monster-driven horror comedy by cult-favorite director Steven Kostanski (PG: Psycho Goreman, The Void). Loaded with ‘80s nostalgia, this delightfully chaotic misfit adventure opened exclusively in select theaters in October 2024 from Shout! Studios, after having its world premiere at the 2024 Fantasia International Film Festival, where the sold-out screening enjoyed a positive reception from both critics and fans.​

​

Frankie Freako plays a game of nostalgic tag with films like Gremlins 2, Critters, Ghoulies and so many other horror comedies centering on the puppetry charm of the 80s. A delightful undertaking for fans of those types of films, the film plays like a gem you may have found randomly on the shelf at your local Hollywood Video.
