  Frankie Freako

  Are you ready to Party? I didn’t hear you! I said ARE YOU READY TO PARTY ?!? You better be because it doesn’t get any wilder than this wacky practical FX-driven horror-comedy in the style of “GREMLINS 2 and GHOULIES 3: GHOULIES GO TO COLLEGE. Filled with slapstick violence, beer-related destruction of private property and a non-stop onslaught of bad-taste gags, we had no choice but to program Steven Kostanski's ode to the evil puppet movies of yore as our closing night film. Be there, or we’ll set Frankie on you!
