T: The googlies are the newest hottest franchise in the “little creatures” subgenre of horror! They’re summoned from an old book that a cool teen guy finds during a house party! Hey stop horsing around Rick!! Next thing you know these ghoulies are getting him to do stuff and they’re flying around, hiding in trees, etc. This franchise really follows the pattern of the first movie being kind of serious and scary, the second being sillier, and the third one coming completely off the rails.
K: I wouldn’t go so far as to call this movie “serious,” it’s tongue in cheek but not in an obnoxious looking at the camera and winking way. Jonathan (whose name is NOT Rick...) inherits a big creepy mansion much to the dismay of his girlfriend, Rebecca because he decides to quit college and commit all his time to fixing up the place. He accidentally summons the Ghoulies who are sooooo cute and bad mannered and he immediately just becomes satanic and crazy, which I love. Rebecca also becomes weird and demon-y pretty quickly and then they’re just in there with Ghoulies wreaking havoc and killing their friends. What I love about this movie is the plot just gets right to it and goes really over the top, and there’s no real explanation for anything other than yeah, they’re demons and they’re running around, so…? And the Ghoulies look great, way cooler than Gremlins and each one is different!! Please refer to the chart below for the Ghoulies present in this film:
