Move over, spooky slashers — this Halloween’s most heartwarming movie isn’t about fear at all.
It’s about friendship, courage, and a tiny stitched-up hero who’s about to steal everyone’s heart.
Meet Stitch Head, a kind-hearted little monster who’s been living quietly inside Castle Grotteskew — until one fateful adventure brings him face to face with the outside world (and plenty of chaos).
The upcoming animated film, based on the beloved book series by Guy Bass, reimagines the classic Frankenstein story in the sweetest, funniest way possible.

Think Tim Burton–style whimsy, Pixar-level heart, and just enough Halloween charm to keep both kids and grownups enchanted.
Set for U.S. theatrical release on October 29, Stitch Head has already been generating early buzz after its premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where critics praised its quirky animation style and surprisingly emotional storytelling.
With a voice cast featuring Asa Butterfield, Joel Fry, and Alison Steadman, it’s shaping up to be the family film of spooky season!

Instead of the usual scares, Stitch Head movie delivers humor, warmth, and monster mischief in equal measure.
It’s the story of a forgotten creation — part monster, part hero — who must save his eccentric creator’s other experiments (and maybe himself in the process).
It’s a story about belonging, bravery, and learning to embrace your weird little parts — literally.
