Summary
Oct. 13, 2028 — a Friday the 13th — is the release date Paramount announced for its untitled animated family horror-comedy based on Yehudi Mercado’s comic Freddy the 13th.
Dan Trachtenberg will direct and produce the Paramount Animation film, with Mercado co-directing a story about Uncle Freddy accidentally killing the Boogeyman and taking on his powers during a family vacation.
The project was unveiled last month at the Annecy International Film Festival, where Paramount pitched it as a PG-rated animated horror-comedy aimed at families.
The release adds to Trachtenberg’s expanding work with Paramount after a first-look deal and follows his animated Predator: Killer of Killers and live-action Predator films Prey and Predator: Badlands.
