Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante, written by Chris Columbus and starring Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, Polly Holliday and Frances Lee McCain, with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo, the main mogwai character. It draws on legends of folkloric mischievous creatures that cause malfunctions—”gremlins”—in the British Royal Air Force going back to World War II. The story follows young man Billy Peltzer, who receives a strange creature as a pet, which then spawns other creatures that transform into aggressive, imp-like monsters that wreak havoc on Billy’s hometown during Christmas Eve.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! What's your favorite Christmas movies?
The following are the musings of a Salty SEAGULL named EARL who just shows up in my posts whenever he feels like it!
[EARL the Salty SEAGULL:] "15:11 – "Imagine if she had actually thrown the water at them! It would have basically made more of them to terrorize her!" 15:41 – "I really am surprised they didn't create a Gremlin model with a visible penis! Still I guess it does make sense for them not to have genitals given they can reproduce asexually by just getting splashed with water!" 18:23 – "Classic NC! Couldn't resist a jab at Disney's stupid CGI with live action remake of Snow White!" 18:41 – "KATE your not HELPING! May you should just stand around telling oddly comedic yet tramatic for you stories from your childhood! Seriously its like 80s films were allergic to any female other than the final girl in a slasher film, Ellen Ripley, or Sarah Conner being useful!"
You've got a new studio and Bill in this video? Merry Christmas to you all!!!!!!!!!
Glorious
This has been the absolute year from Hell for me, also. I got in an at-fault car accident back in March, suffered a ruptured appendix, sepsis, and a blood clot in my leg in April, plus a long, painful recovery, got an infection in the stomach incision and had to have it drained, so another hospital stay, went into diabetic ketoacidosis over Thanksgiving when my insulin pump crapped out 1,500 miles from home and they couldn't overnight me a new one because of the holiday, so I spent the last half of my Florida vacation in the hospital, and I just spent Christmas eve in absolute misery, waiting in an insanely crowded ER for 12 hours with severe nausea and on no sleep waiting for treatment and now we think I may have gastroperesis…
So yeah, I can 1000% relate. But we had our postponed Christmas get-together earlier this evening, where I was surrounded by the people who I couldn't have made it through any of this past year without, the people who loved me enough to stick it all out with me, and it just made me stop and realize that, at the very least, I didn't go through all that Hell alone, and that counts for more than I could ever fully articulate in words.
Happy holidays, everyone ❤
Critters wasn't a knockoff. It was being written before Gremlins and even had its script edited to avoid potential similarities and comparisons
Well at least they’re not playing “daddy would you like some sausage” in the extended section of hell in the basement.
Merry Christmas, Doug.
I had a wonderful year. But even I have bad years, too.
So Merry Christmas! 🎄
The scene with your brother at the door. Legit one of the funniest things you've ever done 😂
You the goat channel.
How did I not notice until now that the car in the opening scene was an AMC Gremlin?
I understand 2024 being an awful year and this holiday season just sucking. Spent my last xmas alone in the family house before selling it to a new family. As of writing this I am now homeless, in a motel. Just rotten luck from a god awful year. 2025 better be better and soon
Seen it.
I love that the town square is the one used in Back to the Future. You can tell in the title shot where you can see the town hall/clock tower. Hard to see with all the snow but the movie theatre they blow all the Gremlins up in is the one Marty drive Deleoron into after going back to the future.
Of course Gremlins is a Christmas film, who TF says it isn't??
The Danish nerdy news program, Troldspejlet ("The Magic Mirror"), uses the theme from Gremlins as their theme song.
Fun fact, the Flashdance reference features an original song by Michael Sembello, called Mega Madness. Sembello also did Maniac from Flashdance.
Thank you❤ merry Christmas!
"It's Illinois, we don't need a reason."
Same in PA 🤣
Oh yeah… AVGN and Nostalgia Critic both reviewed the Wizard back in the day. 😂
gremlins is just furby less evil… you will do the sequel …the female gremlin is weird
Merry Christmas channel awesome!! Hope 2025 gets better!
Gremlins use to scare the crap outta me as a kid but now it’s one of my favorite Christmas movies 😂
"…And it's at times like this, when you think nobody's there for you, you could just dissapear and not even leave an impact." *Exit stage left.
Comedy gold.
Classic.. but I've always loved the sequel more..
Ok where is Tamara ??
"Louder. :D"
Phoebe Cates was adorable. In the sequel she helped usher in my awakening to short haired girls wearing business suits.
We believe in Santa Christ!
Im disappointed you never brought up my favorite line in this movie, that woman who was about to throw water on the carolers saying, "they've come for me!"
Merry Christmas. Awesome review.
Ok so I little theory I have on this and the sequel, Billy’s dad inadvertently killed the Chinese shop owner. He gave the guy a smokeless ash tray as a gift and we see that it doesn’t work and in fact increases the amount of smoke if anything, we even see a guy use one and fall into a coughing fit. In the sequel the owner is coughing up a storm and dies really quickly, I imagine the smokeless ash tray may have given him some form of smoke inhalation and slowly killed him
Ooo Jim looking good with a little salt n pepper
I think Doug needs a Christmas hug 🫂☃️🎄
5:03 I never realized — put two buns on Phoebe Cates' head, and she looks like she's in Chun-Li cosplay! 😅
Everything is going to be alright
