Drop Dead Fred is a 1991 American fantasy drama comedy film directed by Ate de Jong, produced by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment and Working Title Films and released and distributed by New Line Cinema. Although touted as a light-hearted children's film, there are notable adult themes and gags, with elements of black comedy, bizarre visual and make up effects, gross out humor, and some profanity.
