Name this movie (please!)

Post by Battlesmurf »

A buddy called to ask if this sounded familiar. Some of the stuff he didn't sound too sure on, so I'm trying to relay the best I can.

A guy (or a guy with a family) has a car break down at a (carnival), runs into another family (a 'pig family?) where they all have a (role) i.e. a (judge of life/death). Movie last seen about 15 or so years ago. Made it seem like a horror/comedy/black comedy, but then again also mentioned that he thought "Dan Akroyd" was in it- didn't really sound like a role I'd see him in?

Any help would be appreciated!

That movie gets a ridiculous amount of flak. I just don't understand the hate.

Yep, both Chevy Chase and Demi Moore are in this flick as well. ^_~

Dan Ackroyd plays the judge character under all that heavy special effects makeup as shown in "Nothing but Trouble" film.

It was interesting to learn that Jim Carrey is a fellow Canuck just like his comedian counterparts of Ackroyd, Martin Short, and Howie Mandel.

The malformed twins that lived in the junkyard and the part were Dan Akroyd removes his nose Michael Jackson-style warped me as a child. And lets not forget the awesome Digital Underground cameo. :roll:

I'm trying to find out the name of this movie I saw on TV in the 80's. It was animated, I think it was from the 70's, and it had a real weird style, like the cutscenes in the CD-i Zelda games. It had this witch who turned people into frogs by saying "GORF" and I think there were kids dressed up like monsters for Halloween. I saw on Nickelodeon at some time between 1980 and 1986.
