Here’s a fun teaser trailer for the upcoming film Frankie Freako, which is inspired by the Freddie Freaker party line, and this looks like it could be a crazy cool movie!
In the film, “Workaholic yuppie Conor Sweeney (star of The Editor, Father’s Day) 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 flavourless 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.
The movie is described as a wacky FX-driven horror-comedy in the style of Gremlins 2 and Ghoulies 3: Ghoulies go to College.
The original Freddie Freaker (sometimes known as Freddy Freaker) was a character created in 1987 by L.A. Toys. He appeared in commercials typically seen on MTV advertising his hotline “1-900-490-FREAK” which was geared towards teens.
The callers would have an option to hear recordings that were weird sounds, jokes, etc. or make their own rap songs.
I’m actually excited about watching this movie!
