FREAKIER FRIDAY Is an Effervescent Sequel For All Generations (Review)


Listen Later

The article, titled "FREAKIER FRIDAY Is the FREAKY Sequel We Need," is not a movie review but a creative pitch for a sequel to the 2020 horror-comedy Freaky.

The author proposes a crossover film called Freakier Friday that would merge the universe of Freaky with the 2003 body-swap comedy Freaky Friday. The core concept is a chaotic "four-way body swap" involving the main characters from both films: Millie (Kathryn Newton) and the Butcher (Vince Vaughn) from Freaky, and Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan) from Freaky Friday.

The article argues this is a perfect idea because:

  • Studio Synergy: Both films were made by Universal Pictures, making a crossover logistically possible.
  • Genre Blend: It would masterfully combine the slasher-horror elements of Freaky with the family-comedy chaos of Freaky Friday.
  • Comedic Potential: The author highlights the hilarious and terrifying situations that would arise, such as "scream queen" Jamie Lee Curtis having to survive as a teen slasher victim, while the hulking Butcher gets to live as a rockstar mom.
  • A Natural Fit: The shared body-swapping theme makes the two properties a natural fit for a combined sequel.

Ultimately, the piece is an enthusiastic plea to the studio, presenting the idea as a fun, "no-brainer" concept that would be a guaranteed hit with fans of both movies.
