Retro Trailer For The 1987 Creature Feature Horror Comedy MUNCHIES
This week’s retro trailer is for the 1987 creature feature horror comedy Munchies. This is a low-budget film that attempts to capitalize on the success of Gremlins with its own brand of mischievous, pint-sized creatures. The movie was directed by Tina Hirsch, and the film follows an archaeologist, Simon Watterman, who discovers a small, seemingly harmless alien creature in Peru. He brings it home to the U.S., where his troublemaking son and the greedy villain, Cecil Watterman, get involved. When the creature, nicknamed Arnold, is mistreated and cut in half, each severed piece regenerates into a new, fully-formed monster. These newly spawned Munchies develop an insatiable appetite for destruction and chaos, turning the quiet town into their personal playground of mayhem.The film is a campy, tongue-in-cheek flick filled with slapstick humor, cheesy special effects, and a self-aware tone that leans heavily into its absurd premise. Unlike Gremlins, which balances horror and heart, Munchies is more focused on goofy antics and over-the-top situations.It’s a cult favorite among fans of schlocky B-movies, and I always enjoyed it’s low-budget charm.
