‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ Toys from Funko Reveal New Main Villain and More SPOILERS
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the big screen with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire on March 29, and we’re being promised new mythology and new ghosts this time around.
The film’s official trailer previewed the new threat known as “The Death Chill,” along with a giant-sized monster that looks to be the “big bad” of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Oddly enough, it’s through an upcoming toy line from Funko that we’re learning more this week about the new main villain and some of the movie’s new spectral monstrosities.
As a word of warning, the following images/details include SPOILERS for the movie…
The upcoming Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire toy line from Funko confirms that the horned monster glimpsed in the movie’s trailer is named Garraka, and the toys also preview a brand new ghost named Pukey. Additionally, they reveal that the Mini Pufts will be making a return in Frozen Empire, with one of the toys depicting a Mini Puft running on a hamster wheel.
Phoebe and Ray Stantz are also getting new Funko toys as part of this wave, though we of course already knew that both characters will be back in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Garraka, we assume, is essentially the new Gozer of the franchise, likely responsible for unleashing the “Death Chill” upon NYC. Preview the upcoming Funko toy line below.
In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.
But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
