Gangie is a horror film produced by Maeby Fünke and Mort Meyers or Tantamount Studios. The film floundered through production, with Maeby struggling to find a realistic and frightening "blood sucker" monster. (One version of the monster was reported to look like Alf.) After running into a recently chemical-peeled "Gangie" (a pet name the Bluth family uses to refer to their matriarch Lucille Bluth) Maeby snapped a photo with her cameraphone. After test audiences responded in horror to the image, Mort and Maeby decided to start production on Gangie 2. ("Making a Stand")
