    Slightly better than the original!

    This was more like a Gremlins movie, with little slimey Ghoulies causing havoc at an amusement park. Not too bad, actually.

    This movie scared me so much as a kid. For ma...( read more)ny years I wondered what the scary movie was that scared me alot. I remember a scene with a women looking for her kitten and then this cat like creature slits her throat in a big dark room, Until I brought the Ghoulies 1/2 double feature DVD set I finaly found out what it was from. I remember it being alot more realistic and scary as a little kid.. now its just silly! Moving on, this film is alot more entertaining and funnier then the first movie, the ghoulies look awsome in this film and not as cheap as Ghoulies 1, All the cast ive seen in another cult or classic sci-fi/horror flick, so alot of familiar faces. There is alot of funny scenes which actually made me laugh out loud in this movie! Although this film is whacky as hell, there are a few sad scenes mostly based around Phil Fondacaro's character (which were similar to the ones on Troll). John Carl Buechler, my favourite Creature effect artist who did effects for loads of my favourite flicks, is to credit for creating the great ghoulies! This film is great, what else can you ask for? an 80's carnival theme with a bunch of little monsters causing trouble, killing clowns, spooking the visitors, playing around on the entertainments and screwing around with rides! This film also features THE best ghoulies momment, the unforgetable toilet scene, I seriously couldnt go to the toilet for months after I watched this movie! But my favourite scenes have got to be the little rat ghoulies spewing up its guts on people and of course the giant ghoulie going around and killing and eating the other creatures, until he finaly eats a molotov cocktail and blowing himself down to Hell. The stop motion in this movie is so hilariously beautiful its awsome! No Horror/Cult fan should be without the Ghoulies series in their DvD library!
    NOTE: I OWN THIS ON DVD
