Freaky (2020): Body-Swapping Slasher Fun

October 6, 2025

It’s October, which means spooky season. So Mike and Steven are kicking off a month of horror discussions with a caveat: the frights in these films are few and far between. Call them horror lite. Things get kicked off with Freaky, a body-swapping horror-comedy from director Christopher Landon. It stars Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn, who knock it out of the park in this fun, stylish slasher story.

  • Paywalled Peanuts
  • Tilly Norwood: Tinseltown’s New AI Actress
