That explains why the Shriekers multiply after eating enough food, more Shriekers means more Assblasters and more Assblasters mean more Graboids and the cycle continues on and on.
I agree with you on that . They are still my favorite to. Because they always keep you. Wondering whare they will come from. Under the ground , on land , or from the sky you never know.
In fairness 30 years ago we thought they were just giant worms. We learned the full life cycle 20 years ago. But agree, have loved this franchise for 30 years. The original is one of the great 90s films
Gotta say, I liked the CGI remodels of the Graboids, though I still love the original Graboid worm. The redesign makes them look a lot more vicious, and maybe even more armored around the head.
I love this franchise. I used to watch the first one when i was young and renting the second movie, watching it over and over. Although the quality of the later movies don't hold up to the originals quality, i still enjoy the franchise as a whole. From some additional potential threats fro. mixmaster in the series and evolution deviations of other graboids, you could potentially run a horror theme Call of Cthulu game off these beasts. And who doesn't love to see a naked Michael Gross? .... Nobody? Just me? Ok.
The old design is obviously superior, but I'm starting to come around on the African Graboid, all in all it's not a bad design and it makes sense that there would be different species of Graboid.
It's probably a rights thing. They own the franchise, but not the designs. They probably don't own the shriekers at all, since I haven't seen them in any of the new movies.
I have no problems with the newer designs. Historically they are just evolved versions of the originals and never meant as replacements of the main line. They pointed this out a bit in the last 2 movies of the African and Artic strains being a newer version of the originals. If we consider that evolution work with the Graboids as well the Original oldest strain is the American Graboids. They have a fairly decent working design evolved various ways to expand the species to spread to new feeding area's for the Graboids. The original was always the worm but perhaps they were locked in a place that had difficult terrian for the worm to navigate and also prey that figured out rocks or mountains were safe places. Thus the worms evolved the shrieker thus a creature was able to navigate the difficult terrain the worm couldn't allowing it to spread out. The flying ass-blaster was probably created for the same purpose to cover terrain faster to target fast game the shreiker couldn't but also to probably fly above larger mountains or hills allowing them to spread out much farther.. At some point a Ass-blaster ended up in the Africa we don't know when but likely perhaps a more recent epoch, and unlike its original homeland the Graboids in Africa faced fierce competition. Now there is some evidence this was already taking place with the ass-blasters appearance being more intimidating than its shreiker form from its beak. So its likely the ass-blaster was not originally evolved to hunt prey but was to avoid being prey to another creature and to protect the egg. Given the bird like appearance its likely the worms copied what would have likely been the favored prey item, small to medium sized dinosaurs or reptiles, we know Dinosaurs existed around 230 million years starting out so its likely the Graboids convergent evolved the bipedal shrieker to hunt down faster game and to outrun dangerous ones and when dinosaurs got big and or faster they took the next step. Now fast forward to mammals the graboids design worked for it and needed little evolutionary change so eventually a strain heads to Africa either by floating rafts of trees or objects or crossed by land brigdes or took a very long flight. Once in Africa the strain follows its original MO until it eventually encounters something that makes it difficult for its to reproduce. likely a predator that is able to kill graboids or hurt them enough, another unknown graboid species never encountered yet. A predator that has no problems taking out graboid shreikers, or ass-blasters likely being intelligent enough to kill them or raid nest sites. Even the original Graboid bodies now face prey items or animals that are extremely dangerous for a Graboid to attack or smart enough to avoid Graboids thus the much fiercer appearance in its main form and the ass-blaster form, add to increase aggression and thus you have a powerful more intimidating life form that isn't going to take shit from other animals and more willing to take risk to take down difficult prey. Its likely the species like any others would adapt accordingly to its environment. The Sahara for example may have Graboids that did away with the ass-blaster cycle due to the vast expanse of desert allowing the creature to freely roam with little to no obstructions in its way, the same for the Gobi Desert and may look less intimidating and favoring the older style of predation the North American strain had.
I love all of the movies. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I especially love the African variants and the Alaskan variant. It makes them more vicious looking and more evolved than their Northern American counterparts
The 3d model of the OG ass blaster looks pretty good. Please bring back the older designs and mix them with some good cgi going forward in this franchise .
I think they have to if they want to do films set in America since their own films stated there are different versions of graboid dependent on the region so the African one for example
i watched the first incursion of the tremors movies 186 times and the second 116 the third 68 times the 4th 102 times and the 5th 7 times and finally the 6th 3 times i love the tremors series alot.
30 foot worms transform to walking Shriekers to shed its skin to become a flying Monster with major gas problems out of their ass to hatch a egg that send them back in the ground and oh they give birth by throwing up their Newborns. Dear god who came up with this haha
I'm hoping they have a movie where they basically tunnel underground to fight the Graboids on their turf. People keep wanting Tremors 7 to be in Space, I'm all up for Tremors: Center of the Earth.
The question comes down to lifespan. According to most sources, it's about nine months for a Graboid to develop Shriekers, and twelve hours to form Assblasters. Full lifespan of an Assblaster is unknown, however the one from the Tremors series seemed to be living rather well. This leads to another interesting factor, the life span of a Graboid. El Blanco is unable to produce offspring so just keeps on living. In general, about nine-month life span, however under the right circumstance a Graboid could live much longer.
I might be the only one but hearing a Graboid wail like they did in tremors 2 when birthing shreikers, made me feel both terrified and really sad for them, poor wormy bastards
Considering the extreme dormancy and resilience of the natural elements these things can take i believe they're a Split Evolution of a Tartegran (water bear)
This list is inaccurate, the dirt dragons are the first stage of the graboid life cycle and not the fifth... they hatch from eggs into dirt dragons, grow into graboids, split into shriekers, and then molt into A.Bs. The A.Bs then fly out and lay new eggs that lie dormant for a time and then hatch into dirt dragons and start the whole process over again.
There is a few problems with the life cycle. When we find out about the shriekers originally there were only three, in the third movie they refer to them as having six Breakers come out of a graboid. In the movies 5 and number 6 they completely skip the shriekers part of the life cycle.
Best guess is the exact number of shriekers varies by graboid, and in 5 and 6 the groups just happened to be in the stage of the cycle where the latest graboids hadn't spawned shriekers yet?
They really do feel like creatures delivered from the Predator's homeworld or something. I'd love to see a team up whether it be in comic form or what with Bert teaming up with Ash Williams from the Evil Dead series. A Deadite Graboid would be sick! Or heck maybe even a xenomorph Graboid would be super crazy.
5 and 6 have me worried for the series But i do hope they can make at least one more with an actual new stage of the graboid. But more importantly I hope we get to figure out what happened to el blanco.
You know it’s weird isn’t it for graboid there are the hardest to kill because they can take a whole lot of damage shrieker well his entire body is brittle and then you got the ass blaster who has an armoured head and spines and the ability to glide through the air and then you got the dirt dragons who are fast and have a very hard beak Honestly the hardest to kill or the graboids the weakest to kill are the shriekers
That... makes me question something. The Grabboids, they turn into shriekers they say. My question is, is this like a cocoon thing, with the 3 tongue snakes being the actual brains? Or is it like the Aliens thing, where the Face Hugger is the child, and the alien queen is actually the grandma to the chestbursters/aliens?
I think the graboid live as long as it can and how ever long it lives depends on the amount of shriekers come out of it cause in the 2nd movie Burt Sayed 3 and then in the 3rd he Sayed 6 so I think it depends on how long it would love through the pain of the shriekers. Aka they live for 300 years and the director says fuck it let put in 3 to 6 anyone give me a random number and that's what we'll deal with.
It's really simple. The first 3 stages evolve by consuming enough food til they're ready to lay eggs in the 4th stage. Stage 4 is the end unless they live longer and grow arms. But since they keep getting killed they don't have a chance.
When I 1st saw tremors 2 and that part with Burt checks the map we see he's surrounded by shriekers and I thought that they'd got Burt it would been great to see how he survived them.
I just wanted to say what's the odds. That this video pops up . Just after I get done watching Tremors 5 lol. I like how they still use practical effects as . Much as they can in the Tremors movies. They don't completely rely on computer effects or green screens.
Which is how Movies and TV should be... all the extra added shit is just hurting the eyes, and looks so bad anymore... kinda why I don't watch anything on TV anymore. That and how can any of the "Acting" be called that, when you, as an actor/actress, standing infront of a Green Screen just say a line or two and move on? Wheras, in movies from the 70s, we had real good looking facial features these actors/actresses would put on while delivering lines on REAL set locations, like these people are who their characters are (in most movies, and quite often too). I'm not a movie or TV buff either, I just know this from watching what I did, from both eras of Television.
Feels like it lacks some more data as well as some proper terminology. I'm just gonna weave a bit of a coherent life cycle of the US breed with a bit of hypothesis added in. The Graboids hatch from an egg in the ecosystem with it commonly being in soft ground. They grow enough to become the Dirt Dragon with them moving as a pack and leaping from the ground to disorient there prey while taking them down and if needed. The rest will join in with bringing there prey underground to feast on. Once they reach there mature state and developed there parasite like tongs to do the dragging for them, the Graboid's themselves move away from each other to find there own prey unless they are being picked off in which they find and kill the predator that's been killing them. As they consume there prey, the tongs also receive the nutrients from the digesting which when full will start to metamorphosis inside of the Graboid causing it to surface from constant stomach pains. Upon reaching a developed state the 3 Shriekers pop out and attack anything that's produce heat. There diet is more bigger than just eating meat, they also have been shown to eat Grain or Rice as well as other non-meat based edibles. They try to do this in order to multiply there numbers asexually (and become a pack) before there internal clock has reached 12 hours in which they cocoon themselves to turn into Assblasters. Assblasters primary purpose is to locate a new nesting ground in which they lay the egg and just live til something takes them out and the cycle continues. At least that's how it goes for the US breed how it's depicted or so. The African breed on the other hand cuts out the Shriker part and fuses it with the Assblaster or so. A African Graboid can still live without it's parasite tongs living inside it as it's still is able to leap out of the ground like it's US Dirt Dragon counterpart (and could possibly dig through more denser ground than the US Graboid). The tongs themselves could possibly evolve into the African Assblaster when in the African Graboid for a period of time before exiting to start eating and multiplying the African Graboid species again.... This is why the African version isn't as great since there's too many holes in there life cycle compared to the US version. Well this is all off the top of my head on how there cycle fully works and don't know if there is something that goes into full detail about this, but i wanted to type this out for the heck of it if there was no actual explanation to them (not caring if there is a origin to them). If anyone reads this have fun knowing this possible nutshell of there life cycle.
I love Graboids and family, they are mythical (in my opinion they are aliens not from the Precambrian) Graboids are monstrously hungry, the Shriekers are beings "all for one and one for all" finally the Ass-Blaster is perfect hybrid between a hawk and a jet. (when eaten too spicy)
I get the feeling that either people didn't like the shriekers too much or the producers of these movies didn't because the shriekers are only seen in the second movie and a few seconds of the third movie and not at all in either the fourth fifth or sixth movies
I do love the movies especially 1 to 4 (not sure and the 5 and 6) But I sometimes wish they didn't name those monster's since there kinda hell bent on wiping out humanity So maybe just name them the same name as the movie title like a code instead
Hellbent on wiping out humanity? I don’t know about that i mean yeah they’ll eat at many of us as they can but they don’t have any plans of wiping out the entire species or anything like that. They’re animals, monstrous predatory ones but animals all the same, and an animal ought to be named.
For a moment of thought I have a couple ideas besides evolution for the new ones. Remember the sites before movie 4 where they where found in the American version. Nevada original, 3, 4 Mexico 2 Argentina 3 Egypt tv series episode named shriek and destroy other U.S. locations, tv series several episodes. New version Africa Canada Now here is the idea. If you remember mixmaster the compound that mixes dna from flora and fauna of all nonhuman origin. Is it possible that what was believed from movie 5 as a fossilized graboid could instead be just a graboid husk and not fossilized at all? Thus changing its appearance and creating this new being
I more assume that mixmaster was based off of Graboid DNA since it's a large creature that can evolve into a completely different form. Would somewhat explain why the first movie had full blown Graboids and not Dirt Dragons.
I disagree with you somewhat. If I had to rank them, it would turn out like this. 1: Tremors. The film does a good job building up to the Graboids and the fact they are intelligent makes the characters' victory over them far more satisfying. 2: Tremors 4. Watching Michael Gross playing a character who started out as an antithesis to Burt that eventually grew as character was entertaining and the Western tone fits well with the spirit of the franchise. 3: Tremors 3. To be honest, I need to re-watch this to form a better opinion. 4: Tremors 2. This film leans a bit much on comedy and the Graboids were basically nerfed just to make the Shriekers more menacing. It also makes the film kinda boring in that regard as we have to wait over half of the run time for decent conflict. I won't list 5 & 6 as they are garbage and not canon.
Domestic Weirdo you know thinking about it now you’re right about the comedy in Tremors 2 they could’ve toned that back a little bit but goddamn the shriekers were fucking terrifying. At least when they were first introduced the chilling sounds the graboid made while it died, and the music they played when they find the Graboid split open and just the dark environment made for an awesome reveal.
Now I do agree full heartedly but for a moment of thought I have a couple ideas besides evolution for the new ones. Remember the sites before movie 4 where they where found in the American version. Nevada original, 3, 4 Mexico 2 Argentina 3 Egypt tv series episode named shriek and destroy other U.S. locations, tv series several episodes. New version Africa Canada Now here is the idea.

Is it possible that what was believed from movie 5 as a fossilized graboid could instead be just a graboid husk and not fossilized at all? Thus changing its appearance and creating this new being
Problem with this theory though, is that in the 2nd film, we clearly see one of the shriekers spitting up another of its kind; its own offspring, not one of those ass blasting burdie turds. Sooo....The first two movies are gold. After that... *shrugs *
0:15 just when u thought when a graboid would just burst it’s head now it jumps out of the grounds scary bit wouldn’t mess with a shrieker nor an ass blaster since they can see body heat.
I like the redesign in the way that it's an African variant. Like the North American graboid is a grizzly bear and the African graboid is a polar bear.
Was it ever explained in the Shrieker metamorphosis whether or not the exponential population growth is just a 1 to 1? Whether or not a single Shrieker only produces a single offspring? Or can one well-fed Shrieker keep producing offspring?
For the love of god please get the old directors back for one last movie. I just want to see Earl, Val, and Burt together again. I appreciate the new movies and love that they have their own new style, but i miss the charm and more calm feel of the original Tremors and Tremors II
That explains why the Shriekers multiply after eating enough food, more Shriekers means more Assblasters and more Assblasters mean more Graboids and the cycle continues on and on.
Yep you got it right
They aren't breeding to stay alive, they're breeding to take over.

The Graboid one of the most deadly worm as ever seen on earth

Which is how Movies and TV should be... all the extra added shit is just hurting the eyes, and looks so bad anymore... kinda why I don't watch anything on TV anymore. That and how can any of the "Acting" be called that, when you, as an actor/actress, standing infront of a Green Screen just say a line or two and move on? Wheras, in movies from the 70s, we had real good looking facial features these actors/actresses would put on while delivering lines on REAL set locations, like these people are who their characters are (in most movies, and quite often too). I'm not a movie or TV buff either, I just know this from watching what I did, from both eras of Television.
Knowing their origins would be informative.
Yep now Burt doesn't need the, critical, need to know, information
Love these shows
Watched the hell out of these movies growing up
They already had a awesome tv series but no one watched it lasted 10 episode s
Feels like it lacks some more data as well as some proper terminology.
I'm just gonna weave a bit of a coherent life cycle of the US breed with a bit of hypothesis added in. The Graboids hatch from an egg in the ecosystem with it commonly being in soft ground. They grow enough to become the Dirt Dragon with them moving as a pack and leaping from the ground to disorient there prey while taking them down and if needed. The rest will join in with bringing there prey underground to feast on. Once they reach there mature state and developed there parasite like tongs to do the dragging for them, the Graboid's themselves move away from each other to find there own prey unless they are being picked off in which they find and kill the predator that's been killing them. As they consume there prey, the tongs also receive the nutrients from the digesting which when full will start to metamorphosis inside of the Graboid causing it to surface from constant stomach pains. Upon reaching a developed state the 3 Shriekers pop out and attack anything that's produce heat. There diet is more bigger than just eating meat, they also have been shown to eat Grain or Rice as well as other non-meat based edibles. They try to do this in order to multiply there numbers asexually (and become a pack) before there internal clock has reached 12 hours in which they cocoon themselves to turn into Assblasters. Assblasters primary purpose is to locate a new nesting ground in which they lay the egg and just live til something takes them out and the cycle continues. At least that's how it goes for the US breed how it's depicted or so.
The African breed on the other hand cuts out the Shriker part and fuses it with the Assblaster or so. A African Graboid can still live without it's parasite tongs living inside it as it's still is able to leap out of the ground like it's US Dirt Dragon counterpart (and could possibly dig through more denser ground than the US Graboid). The tongs themselves could possibly evolve into the African Assblaster when in the African Graboid for a period of time before exiting to start eating and multiplying the African Graboid species again.... This is why the African version isn't as great since there's too many holes in there life cycle compared to the US version.
Well this is all off the top of my head on how there cycle fully works and don't know if there is something that goes into full detail about this, but i wanted to type this out for the heck of it if there was no actual explanation to them (not caring if there is a origin to them). If anyone reads this have fun knowing this possible nutshell of there life cycle.
R.i.p Miguel 😭
I realized the graboids are my favorite movie monsters from Tremors
i just wached the first one for the 3 time and i went here and looked it up (btw iv seen all of em about 2-3 times)
I love Graboids and family, they are mythical (in my opinion they are aliens not from the Precambrian)
Graboids are monstrously hungry,
the Shriekers are beings "all for one and one for all"
finally the Ass-Blaster is perfect hybrid between a hawk and a jet. (when eaten too spicy)
The graboid is based partly on the Mongolian death worm. The concept was by the original writer called land shark. But yea it's a mongolian death worm
I get the feeling that either people didn't like the shriekers too much or the producers of these movies didn't because the shriekers are only seen in the second movie and a few seconds of the third movie and not at all in either the fourth fifth or sixth movies
Me whe the lil shrieker first appears
"I dunno i think its kinda cute"
Shrieker: "Screeeeeeeee!!!"
Tremors is my favorite horror series
I Love those monster
I do love the movies especially 1 to 4 (not sure and the 5 and 6)
But I sometimes wish they didn't name those monster's since there kinda hell bent on wiping out humanity
So maybe just name them the same name as the movie title like a code instead
Hellbent on wiping out humanity? I don’t know about that i mean yeah they’ll eat at many of us as they can but they don’t have any plans of wiping out the entire species or anything like that. They’re animals, monstrous predatory ones but animals all the same, and an animal ought to be named.
For a moment of thought I have a couple ideas besides evolution for the new ones. Remember the sites before movie 4 where they where found in the
American version.
Nevada original, 3, 4
Mexico 2
Argentina 3
Egypt tv series episode named shriek and destroy
other U.S. locations, tv series several episodes.
New version
Africa
Canada
Now here is the idea. If you remember mixmaster the compound that mixes dna from flora and fauna of all nonhuman origin. Is it possible that what was believed from movie 5 as a fossilized graboid could instead be just a graboid husk and not fossilized at all? Thus changing its appearance and creating this new being
I more assume that mixmaster was based off of Graboid DNA since it's a large creature that can evolve into a completely different form. Would somewhat explain why the first movie had full blown Graboids and not Dirt Dragons.
Perfect and legandry vidio
0:39 me when i need to poop so badly then i say "im superman!!! i belive i can flyyyy!!!!"
Semi-rigid structure, story of my life.
Good job
Love you Burt gummer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We cant we lost burt may he rest in peace
They should've shown the eggs in the first movie,then continued with a sequel in Perfection.
8:17 That's actually kind of cute. :)
You better have these animals in a zoo instead of just killing them.
The 1st and 2nd ones were amazing. 3 and 4 were mediocre. 5 and 6 are not canon.
Like if you agree
There is a series too!
I disagree with you somewhat. If I had to rank them, it would turn out like this.
1: Tremors. The film does a good job building up to the Graboids and the fact they are intelligent makes the characters' victory over them far more satisfying.
2: Tremors 4. Watching Michael Gross playing a character who started out as an antithesis to Burt that eventually grew as character was entertaining and the Western tone fits well with the spirit of the franchise.
3: Tremors 3. To be honest, I need to re-watch this to form a better opinion.
4: Tremors 2. This film leans a bit much on comedy and the Graboids were basically nerfed just to make the Shriekers more menacing. It also makes the film kinda boring in that regard as we have to wait over half of the run time for decent conflict.
I won't list 5 & 6 as they are garbage and not canon.
Domestic Weirdo you know thinking about it now you’re right about the comedy in Tremors 2 they could’ve toned that back a little bit but goddamn the shriekers were fucking terrifying. At least when they were first introduced the chilling sounds the graboid made while it died, and the music they played when they find the Graboid split open and just the dark environment made for an awesome reveal.
Now I do agree full heartedly but for a moment of thought I have a couple ideas besides evolution for the new ones. Remember the sites before movie 4 where they where found in the
American version.

5 n 6 completely left out the Shreikers.
The cycle of graboids is great
Problem with this theory though, is that in the 2nd film, we clearly see one of the shriekers spitting up another of its kind; its own offspring, not one of those ass blasting burdie turds. Sooo....The first two movies are gold. After that... *shrugs *
Um... yeah. Just... just like in the video. Your point?
PLUS PLUs PLUS, it always irked me that they could go through dry, pretty dense desert ground, but that bit of cement killed em. Fairs fair though lol
This is so cool
Heck yeah
7:14 me when I eat taco bell
0:15 just when u thought when a graboid would just burst it’s head now it jumps out of the grounds scary bit wouldn’t mess with a shrieker nor an ass blaster since they can see body heat.
I had a stroke reading this comment
They should make a video game for PS4 and PS5 on Steam Nintendo switch
I watched this channel on my other account and I'll watch it here too
Nifty!
0:33 I like to call them rocket dragons
I want Tremors 7 original Graboid back. I don’t like different Graboid
I like the redesign in the way that it's an African variant. Like the North American graboid is a grizzly bear and the African graboid is a polar bear.
I loved the original design so much more than the new one. It was more scary and the practical effects made it real.
i definitely didn't expect you here laufield, was quite a surprise to see you outside inkbunny coincidentally XD
Was it ever explained in the Shrieker metamorphosis whether or not the exponential population growth is just a 1 to 1? Whether or not a single Shrieker only produces a single offspring? Or can one well-fed Shrieker keep producing offspring?
Shooter-Graboid-Shrieker-AssBlaster-Egg, And Shooter again
For the love of god please get the old directors back for one last movie. I just want to see Earl, Val, and Burt together again. I appreciate the new movies and love that they have their own new style, but i miss the charm and more calm feel of the original Tremors and Tremors II
Everything after the first 2 is trash lol
Very nice
i love you gummer
Cool
This is in tremors 5
Is he in front of a green screen in the opening shot?lol
The practical effects look bette later on but the cgi in the early part was great
They where actually called tua meaning dirt dragon but close enough
I liked the movies..
We don’t talk about the last one
How does the shrieker give birth to another shrieker when that isnt a part of the life cycle?
Out of these 3 creatures I like the shriekers.
