Get ready to face your demons. In the new Henry Selick flick Wendell & Wild, everyone has some, and here they’re very real. Young hell-maiden orphan Kat (Lyric Ross) has a particularly irrepressible pair of guardian ghouls: the titular Wendell and Wild, voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, respectively. You can meet this unlikely trio — and a whole host of other colorful characters, including a nun (Angela Bassett), a goat and a dead priest (James Hong) — in a new trailer for Wendell & Wild above.

When Wendell and Wild escape into the land of the living, they pose as “magician morticians,” an appealing prospect to the orphaned Kat. From there, they unleash a wave of chaos that threatens to drown Kat’s small town in resurrected corpses and maybe even a very big, very angry father demon (Ving Rhames). Fortunately, she’ll have some help: no-nonsense warrior nun Sister Helley (Bassett) and classmate Raul (Sam Zelaya) are both along for the ride. 

It may be decorated with ghoulish stop-motion monsters but like Selick’s other stop-motion creations Coraline or The Nightmare Before Christmas, at heart Wendell & Wild is a movie about family, however odd that family might be. In fact, Selick drew on something much closer to home while creating Wendell and Wild.  “It was inspired by my sons when they were little and they were, you know, demonic at times,” Selick tells Tudum. Not quite this demonic, we hope.

Co-written by Selick and Peele, you can catch Wendell & Wild — if you dare! — in select theaters on Oct. 21 or streaming on Netflix on Oct. 28.
