Did you see Psycho Goreman? If you did, you remember just how inventive that film was. Well, the director, Steven Kostanski is back with another one that tugs on the nostalgia strings with puppets, wild words, and ’80s pay-per-minute phone calls. Check out the trailer of Frankie Freako for yourself.

Frankie Freako releases in theaters on October 4th, 2024 from Shout! Studios. Here’s the full synopsis.

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 opens exclusively in select theaters on October 4, 2024 from Shout! Studios. Frankie Freako had its world premiere at the 2024 Fantasia International Film Festival, where the sold-out screening enjoyed a positive reception from both critics and fans.

After calling a late-night party hotline that promises out-of-this-world fun, uptight yuppie Conor Sweeney must battle the pint-sized forces of evil unleashed through his phone line, led by the maniacal rock n’ roll goblin Frankie Freako.

After watching that trailer, I’m all in for Frankie Freako. From the look, the music, the puppets, and everything else, it’s a nostalgia-filled trip that somehow feels as original as possible. We’ll have to see how it looks in theaters this October!
