Animated 1980s nostalgia trip The Weird Kidz set for release on VOD on 27th October 2026.
Zach Passero’s feature debut is a true labor of love, eight unbelievable years in the making.
Written, directed, and single-handedly animated by Passero – with his wife Hannah painting the beautiful backgrounds – THE WEIRD KIDZ is both a horror-tinged creature feature and an ode to ’80s coming-of-age films and late night cinema.
When three preteen boys, an older brother, and his girlfriend take off for a weekend campout, none of them can imagine the horrors (and laughs) awaiting them in a remote desert inhabited by a legendary night creature and crazed townsfolk. Puberty and adventure await… along with terror, amputations, and midnight cult rituals!
