Spring has a funny way of dressing up dread in pastels. The flowers bloom, the air softens, and somewhere beneath all that fresh-cut optimism lurks the quiet promise that something is about to go very wrong. It is the season of false security, where longer days invite us outside just as horror begins sharpening its knives for the summer ahead. Consider it the calm before the carnage, a playful prelude where the sunlight lingers a little too long and the shadows start practicing for the slashers waiting just around the corner. I just got news from the lovely and spooky folks over at Terror Films Releasing for a new horror movie that is on its list of upcoming scares. They have creeped into my email inbox to inform me of all the info for me to share with you fellow horror fans. Here is the info:
FROM THE TERROR FILMS RELEASING PRESS RELEASE:
Terror Films Releasing has teamed with filmmakers Josh Funk and Dustin Vaught to bring audiences the wildly original horror-comedy “The Fuzzies.”
Starring Rocío de la Grana, Baylee Toney, Dustin Vaught, and Gordy Cassell, “The Fuzzies” follows a group of friends who reunite at their childhood friend’s eerie estate after her death, only to uncover a nightmare lurking beneath the surface. The grotesque puppets from her once-beloved children’s television show are somehow alive. Blending practical puppetry, stop-motion horror, and dark humor, “The Fuzzies” explores themes of friendship, fame, and the monsters we carry from childhood. Written and produced by Josh Funk and Dustin Vaught, with Josh Funk also directing, the film leans heavily into its uncanny inspirations. Funk shared insight into the creative vision behind “The Fuzzies”:
“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 Fuzzies” will be available beginning May 1st, 2026, across a variety of platforms including Vudu, Amazon, Tubi, Chilling, and more. Stay tuned here and my social media pages for my full review, coming soon.
