The Freak Trilogy is a series of three films about abnormal LEGO figures or knock-off brand figures. The first film in the series only features Steve and Dave for a single-line cameo at the end, but can be viewed as a Steve and Dave film due to its inclusion in a montage of their previous adventures in Christmas with Bluntmation. The next two films feature Steve in a central role, though Dave does not appear in either of them. Each film in the trilogy was produced within one day and the second film, UBER-FREAK, was produced in just 10 minutes. The Freak films were the basis of the film Evening Report by Nick Maniatis, which depicts a news report about the treatment of freaks and features a brief appearance from Steve.
