Here's a flipped out flick for a Friday, one that I actually saw when it came out! The story's about a young man and his girlfriend who move into an old mansion, where he becomes possessed by a desire to control ancient demons. There are always a ton of second string actors in these eighties horror comedies!
When you're conjuring up ancient demons, wow, it really helps to have a cool flashy costume, props and a barred dungeon room to conjure the little buggers in!
BY THE POWER OF NUMB SKULL, I COMMAND YOU TO SHOW YOUR UGLY PUSS!!
The best part of the movie are the funny little Ghoulies doing their thing! Check out the hunk of gristle stuck in its teeth!
Hot... Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha, Mofo!!
Love all the drooling and runny noses on the little freaks! This one's called a Pig-Ghoulie!
Man, there's nothing better than two little Ghoulies hangin' out, just being themselves!!
This time, these little creeps only want to have a soak in a hot tub!
We'll end the show with this groovy model of this Ghoulie in one putrid toilet! So, check in again tomorrow when Eegah!! will have something special for you, til then...
After GREMLINS, everyone was making films about things more or less like these: not only did we have GHOULIES, but Roger Corman's company had THE MUNCHIES, there were several CRITTERS films, and most recently, Brett Piper made one called GHASTLIES (which I'd like to see for laughs, but it's an expensive dual DVD+Blu-Ray release). What the heck though, if they're fun and (relatively) harmless, why not?
