“it concerns a little boy and his family who attend a taping of the Banana Splits TV show until for things to ‘take an unexpected turn’”

i remember them from an episode of reno 911.  when lt dangle’s father passed away he thought he was going to get an inheritance but only got his fathers treasured banana splits key chain.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn thing was a separate program. It still had Injun Joe as a villain. 

Is this being sung by a child, at a very slow tempo, and in a minor key?

Why did they design him with massive bags under his eyes? To give the impression he hadn’t slept for days?

Nobody seems to have mentioned this yet (forgive m if I didn’t read down far enough) but I recall the Banana Splits had that mixed animation - live action version of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, where basically Huck, Tom and Becky end up going through what amounts to some kind of weird interdimensional gateway…

All I know that, as a kid, I found every creature from Sid and Marty kroft to be monstrous and frightening. They, quite literally, gave me nightmares. So, I find a movie that makes the serial killers to be just right. Obviously, someone else thought of them as I did.

I like to think of this project as a preemptive mockbuster just the same.

You’re standing on my neck.

I wonder if all these darker/more mature Hanna-Barbera reboots (like the existential Flintstones comic, the Elmer Fudd/Batman murder mystery comic, and the closeted gay Snagglepuss comic) are all part of the same initiative. Redesigning and updating their classic characters in an effort to keep up with what people are…

I bet Jan Micheal Vincent will be the real killer.

Sure. “Now” they are murderers.

Also very few 12 year olds watch Syfy network 

If you are going to give me a choice between weird, random, shit like this and the 75th season of some generic procedural that shares its four plots with a dozen other shows, I'll take the weird stuff all day long  at least somebody is trying something different.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of a single thing the Kroffts produced that wasn’t instant nightmare fuel.

That’s the sound of approaching death.

I can see this becoming the next Sharknado franchise like The Banana Splits vs. McDonaldland.

The movie rights for 5 Nights at Freddy’s were outside of SyFy’s price range.

Two Dolph Lundgrens are better than one.
