“The “little monster” movie is a subgenre beloved by horror fans. Franchises like Critters, Ghoulies and Puppet Master are still immensely popular despite there being no recent entries in the franchises. Frankie Freako is my vision for the next tiny monster franchise, brought to life through a combination of modern visual effects as well as old-school practical puppeteering techniques.Additionally, I envision the film as my personal take on the Evil Dead II format: it is a contained story centered around one flawed man fighting an onslaught of tiny terrors, witheach set-piece escalating in absurdity and inventiveness. Frankie Freako is meant to be the complete antithesis of the current trend of overly self-serious A24-style horror films, with a tone more akin to early Tim Burton films like Beetlejuice or Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. The success of PG: Psycho Goreman has proven that audiences have a taste for lighter genre fare, and Frankie Freako will be a similarly wacky adventure full of elaborate effects and off-the-wall humor.”
