Killer Puppet Horror-Comedy, “THE FUZZIES” Gets Release Date
TERROR FILMS RELEASING has teamed with filmmakers Josh Funk and Dustin Vaught to release their wildly original horror-comedy, “THE FUZZIES”.
Starring Rocío de la Grana (Rose), Baylee Toney (Mary), Dustin Vaught (Mick) and Gordy Cassell (Shirley / Sunny Smiles), the film centers around a group of friends who reunite at their childhood friend’s eerie estate after her death where they soon uncover a nightmare: the grotesque puppets from her famous children’s TV show are alive. Blending practical puppetry, stop-motion horror, and dark humor, The Fuzzies explores friendship, fame, and buried monsters.
Written and produced by Funk and Vaught, Funk directed the film and shared his thoughts about the making of the film:
“The Fuzzies is a horror-comedy born from a fascination with the uncanny, specifically the strange power of puppets and stop-motion animation to feel both comforting and deeply unsettling. Drawing inspiration from children’s television of the 1970s and ‘80s, the film explores how bright sets, felt textures, and cheerful characters become disorienting when stripped of their warmth. The Fuzzies embraces the tactile imperfections of handmade filmmaking to tell a story about nostalgia curdling into terror, and the monsters we carry with us from childhood.”
The film will be available beginning May 1st, 2026, across a variety of platforms including Vudu, Amazon, Tubi, Chilling, and more. Check out the official poster and trailer, courtesy of TERROR FILMS RELEASING.
