Chronology | |
Preceded by | Web cartoon: Making Fiends |
Making Fiends was an American comedy horror animated television series. Based upon a web series with the same name, the series premiered on October 4, 2008 on Nicktoons Network. The series follows the evil, but dim-witted Vendetta and the new happy girl, Charlotte, at school in the gloomy town of Clamburg. Vendetta hates Charlotte and tries to destroy her in each and every episode.
The series is created by Amy Winfrey. She voices Charlotte and her grandmother Charlene, among other characters. Character designer Aglaia Mortcheva is the voice of Vendetta. All of the voice actors from the web cartoon reprise their roles for the TV series, with the addition of a new castmember and crewmember, Dave Wasson.
The series premiered with no promotion or press release. At one point, it was the highest rated original program on Nicktoons. The show was abruptly cancelled after airing six episodes.
The series aired reruns regularly from 2008 to 2012, but since 2014, the show usually airs on Nicktoons around Halloween.
Charlotte, a new girl at Vendetta's school, arrives determined to make a friend. An "impossibly cheery" optimist, Charlotte rapidly becomes the foil and tormentor of the morose and vindictive Vendetta, by insisting on befriending her.
Vendetta is a selfish little girl with the power to make fiends, "hideous things" which she has unleashed on her town to bring it under her reign of terror. The coastal town of Clamburg, once a thriving tourist destination, has become a grim, forbidding place, with stores shuttered and the populace cowed before the horror of Vendetta's watchful fiends.
