Writer and director Steve Kostanski is known for crafting intricate and fascinating worlds. From The Void to Psycho Goreman, Kostanski has displayed not only a love for practical effects, but for horror stories that aren’t afraid to get silly. Enter his latest film, Frankie Freako, a film about the titular goblin, his crew, and the yuppie whose life they change forever.

Read the full synopsis below:

Workaholic yuppie Conor has a dilemma: no one in his life respects him! Not his boss, not his coworkers, not even his wife Kristina, who thinks he’s an uptight “square”! Conor sees no way out of this existential rut until one night channel-surfing he catches a bizarre ad for a party hotline hosted by a strange dancing goblin: FRANKIE FREAKO. Conor is entranced by Frankie’s promises of wild and freaky adventures, just a phone call away. Could this be the recipe to spice up his flavorless life? 

Home alone for the weekend, Conor works up the courage to dial the number for the Frankie Freako hotline. As soon as the call connects, it unleashes CHAOS into his white-collar world, releasing Frankie and his troublemaker friends from their dimensional prison. It’s a race against time as Conor must defeat the rambunctious ruffians and clean up their trail of destruction before Kristina returns from her trip, all while going on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. 

In our exclusive clip, Conor, alongside the maniacal rock ’n’ roll goblin Frankie Freako and his fellow pint-sized forces of evil, gets transported to Freak World!

Watch now:

Conor Sweeney, Adam Brooks, and Kristy Woodsworth star in Kostanski’s latest practical effect bonanza featuring some of the coolest and wildest puppets you’ve ever seen!
