Kenan and Kel Return in Wild Frankenstein Comedy Adventure
Nickelodeon legends Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are back together for a new horror comedy, promising a hilarious twist on the Frankenstein legend that will surprise fans old and new.
Get ready for a blast from the past, as two of Nickelodeon's most iconic stars are teaming up once again. Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, beloved by a generation of Aussie kids, are set to star in a brand new horror comedy that throws them headfirst into a classic monster tale with a cheeky twist.
The pair revealed their latest project while Mitchell was standing in for Kevin Hart as guest host on Thompson's podcast, Good Sports. The film, simply titled Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein, does exactly what it says on the tin. The story follows the duo as delivery drivers whose ordinary night takes a wild turn when a routine drop-off at a spooky castle goes pear-shaped. In a moment of pure chaos, they accidentally bring Frankenstein's monster back to life, kicking off a night of mayhem and laughs as they scramble to survive.
Classic Comedy Meets Monster Mayhem
This new flick is set to channel the spirit of old-school horror comedies, drawing inspiration from the 1948 cult favourite Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Fans of the genre will spot the nods to the past, but with Kenan and Kel at the helm, expect a fresh spin and plenty of offbeat humour. The official logline sums it up:
"Delivery drivers Kenan and Kel's routine drop-off at a creepy castle goes horribly wrong when they accidentally awaken Frankenstein's monster, turning an ordinary night into a terrifying fight for survival."
Thompson shared his excitement about the project, saying,
"Kel and I have always loved finding new ways to work together, and this project felt like the perfect mix of nostalgia, comedy, and something completely unexpected. We're excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it."
The film promises to blend the familiar banter and slapstick that made the duo famous with a new, monstrous twist.
From Nickelodeon Mates to Big Screen Antics
Kenan and Kel's partnership goes way back to their days on Nickelodeon's sketch show All That, where their chemistry quickly made them fan favourites. They later starred in their own spin-off, Kenan and Kel, racking up 65 episodes and cementing their place in pop culture. Over the years, they've reunited for various projects, but this marks their most ambitious collaboration in ages.
While details about the film's release are still under wraps, the announcement has already sparked heaps of excitement among fans keen to see the duo back in action. The blend of nostalgia and new material is sure to appeal to both long-time followers and a fresh crowd looking for a good laugh with a side of monster madness.
Horror Comedy’s New Chapter
Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein is set to join a long line of horror comedies that have taken the mickey out of classic monsters. With their trademark wit and knack for physical comedy, the pair are well-placed to breathe new life into the genre. The film is shaping up to be a wild ride, mixing scares and laughs in equal measure.
There's no official date for when punters can catch the film, but anticipation is already building. In the meantime, fans can revisit some of the best horror comedies out there and get ready for Kenan and Kel's latest misadventure.
