Synopsis

From the delightfully wicked minds of Henry Selick (director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline) and Jordan Peele (Nope, Us, Get Out) comes the story of Kat (Lyric Ross), a troubled teen haunted by her past, who must confront her personal demons, Wendell & Wild (played by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele) to start a new life in her old hometown.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY 🏳️‍⚧️🫶

Here are some trans characters and actors in horror! From left to right, top to bottom:

• Owen and Maddy from I Saw the TV Glow (2024). Owen is played by Justice Smith who is queer and advocates with his platform for Black queer and trans lives. Maddy is played by Jack Haven who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.

• Gretchen from Cuckoo (2024). Gretchen is played by Hunter Schafer who is a trans woman and an activist for LGBTQ rights.

• Raúl Cocolotl from Wendell and Wild (2022). Raúl is a trans boy and is the first transgender character in a stop motion animated film. He is Mexican-American and to reflect his ethnic background, director Henry Selick states that for Raúl’s design, he turned to Argentine illustrator Pablo Lobato who then used influences from Mayan, Aztec, Incan, and Toltec artwork and stone sculptures. Raúl is voiced by Sam Zelaya who is a trans man.

• Jordan Lewis from They/Them (2022). Jordan is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. Jordan is played by Theo Germaine who is transmasc and nonbinary and uses they/he pronouns.

I hope this post spreads awareness about trans characters in horror movies. Trans people in the US and around the world are actively losing their rights and it’s important now more than ever that we raise awareness and support transgender people. Transgender people are regular humans who deserve to live and thrive just as much as anybody else. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

I watched Wendell and Wild and couldn't resist making fanart. The storyline, the characters, and the nostalgia I felt with its connection to other stop-motion films like Coraline, ParaNorman and Corpse Bride❤️ also Raúl reminds me of Yadriel, and I choose to believe they're the same person in different universes🥴

Brandon Kyle Goodman, Zach Barack & Sam Zelaya are Superqueeroes!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Sometimes a family is a girl, two brother demons and their demon father, the friend she made, and a nun.

Seriously this movie was amazing and deserves every bit of attention!!
