Steven Kotanski’s ‘Frankie Freako’ Comedy Has Wrapped Production Steven Kotanski’s forthcoming horror-comedy “Frankie Freako” has wrapped production, with Shout!

Studios acquiring U.S. distribution rights. “Frankie Freako” will star Conor Sweeney (“The Editor,” “Father’s Day”) as he accidentally unleashes “a trio of tiny trouble-makers into his home, led by the maniacal rock-n-roll party monster Frankie Freako.

It’s a race against time as Conor must defeat the rambunctious ruffians and clean up their trail of destruction before his wife returns from her weekend work trip, all while going on an unexpected journey of self-discovery,” per the projects official logline.

Adam Brooks and Kristy Wordsworth star alongside Sweeney. The film is Kotanski’s commemoration of various practical-FX-led projects including “Gremlins 2” and “Ghoulies 3: Ghoulies Go to College.” “Steven is a human love letter to genre films, and this is a partnership Shout has long sought,” said Jordan Fields, senior VP of acquisitions and originals at Shout! “With his impeccable sense of tone and humor, not to mention his wizardry with practical effects, Frankie Freako will surely delight fans of those subversive and mischievous creature features of yesteryear.” “Frankie Freako” is produced under Hanger 18 Media by Melanie Murray, Pasha Patriki and Steven Kostanski alongside Michael Paszt, Andrew Thomas Hunt and James Fler.
