I worked with the wonderful John Buechler on many films as a creature effects artist. He was very kind, and fun to work with and be around. I came in on Freddy’s Dead when we did Freddy effects on various victim characters, then worked on Demonic Toys, Carnosaur, Scanners the Showdown, and some other things. John Buechler died about a year ago, and he is greatly missed by many friends and family members.
Ghoulies is a fun film. I just love how cute the monsters are lol. I remember watching it and siding for the Ghoulies because they were more interesting than the main characters and so adorable.
@@2apocalypsex Creatures were designed by the same man who worked on Troll (1986) and Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, the late and great John Carl Buechler.
In the 80's when I was little and had the occasional trip to the video store there were some box covers that would cause me to trip out and stare at them. This was one of them, the fact that the monster was hanging out in a toilet would make me and my little brother laugh our asses off.
Ha ha yeah looking at the video boxes of all the movies we were to young for but tripping out on the great covers,oh the 80s i tell you kids dont know what they are missing out these days do they..nothing better than the video rental store back then..
Would that be the same universe where transformers was done by james cameron and terminator was a cult john waters movie? 😄 .......damn. Now i kinda want to see both of those.
When I was a kid in 1985, I had a babysitter that wanted to take me to see The Goonies. I didn't want to go because I thought she was taking me to see Ghoulies.
I remember “Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare” used that same gimmick - when the girl put on her 3-D glasses, the audience was meant to put theirs on as well.
This is one of the 80's vhs covers from my childhood that sticks in my mind the most. This and "Q" (Quetzelcoatl). I was 6 in 1987. But seeing the vhs cover never gave me nightmares. But "A Nightmare on Elm St. 2: Freddy's Revenge"? I had nightmares for over a year because of THAT fucker...
The only scene I remember. Bugger is, I thought it was from Critters. So I watched the Critters stuff... and no bog scene. Wasn't until this vid, I'm like "ahhh... ghoulies. I remember that. Ahhhhhh the bog scene"
Great video!! You are looking really well Minty!! Thanks for all your time, on FB, YT and online. Really enjoyed visiting your humanity whilst Covid has been on! You love films too, you post about them? Terrific!! Thanks!! Best wishes, from me and my Siberian (Storm R. Rothschild) in the UK. We watch your videos, van camping in the middle of nowhere, whilst out hiking!!! Best wishes to you, dear, fellow human and thanks for your time, really appreciated!! :)
Hey Minty, thanks for doing this video. That point about the sunglasses and 3D never even occurred to me. I just thought they were hamming it up for the quirkiness of the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie "back in the day" mainly because I was very interested in the Occult and real rituals and spell casting. The rituals and very accurate circles they used in so many of the scenes really did separate it from The Gremlins in my Teenage experience. I still think the first movie is a classic 80's Horror that deserves a little more respect.
When I was a kid it actually didn't scare me I absolutely loved it thirty-plus years later my three-year-old was totally into Jurassic Park when the dude got ripped off the toilet it didn't scare him yet that movie scared me as a teen
Minty! Only my second post ever... and both have gone to you! Good stuff you do! [6:34] had me, as an American, furrowing my brows. Further inspection was needed... and now I know! I learn more than just pop culture from you, sir! Cheers! To "crack the s*its" is to lose your temper. This can be a verbal outburst or other obvious display of bad mood. So if you've got the s*it's, and things/people keep provoking you, you will likely crack the s*its. Love it!
If you have an opportunity i'd like to see 10 things on "Rawhead Rex", "The Principal", "Beat Street", "Krush Groove", and "American Ninja". Thanks minty. 👍
Yess... Back to the nostalgic begi'nings of your awesome channel... I started following you because of your B horror movie orientated reviews... You are so much more self confident and much more awkwardly funny as back then... I love it
I've only seen the second movie. Was a fun watch as a kid. Also, I didn't know Howling 2 was a real film. I heard references to it and thought it was just an inside joke. Have you done a video on the Howling films? That would be interesting.
I'm surprised you never mentioned the movie Troll also from the 80s. I always thought of Troll as a ripoff of Ghouleis. Although when I first heard of it I associated it more with House because the first movie took place in a creepy house as well.
Yep one of my 80s faves and i still have it on VHS but dont watch that anymore as i dont want to wear it out but do watch my Dvd copy of it all the time though..lol..
Those Ghoulies were some gross little beasties. Thanks for the video, Minty. Do you remember the "Groovy Ghoulies?" It was an animated Saturday morning show. A vampire, a werewolf, and a mummy were a rock n roll trio. Bizarre cartoon.......
It's been a while since I saw Ghoulies, but the sequel was one of my favorite creature films as a kid. The first two films are really fun in the way that Empire and Full Moon productions were known for, which happens to be my favorite kind of horror cheese. 😎👍
I have never seen the first Ghoulies movie. The sequel, however, I have seen several times. That bit where the big Ghoulie rampages around a carnival still makes me laugh.
Another great video Minty. When I was a kid a local video store had the Ghoulie on toilet crudely painted on the side of their building. You could return your videos in a slot between the toilet rim and Ghoulie stomach. It was the coolest thing to me as a kid.
Damn straight you would have been razzed over leaving her SVU role out. She's been starring in it since 1999, aside from a brief absence for her maturnity leave. Even met her husband on set. One of the highest paid actresses in a series. Even directed some episodes.
@@kariebossa4851 Yep that is true! I am a big fan of hers she has done some amazing work especially on SVU. The character of Benson is one of the most iconic TV police officers of all time
That would be Peter Hermann, who played defense attorney Trevor Langhan. He should be razzed for calling it "Special Crimes Unit" instead of "Special Victims Unit" though.
I had 1, 2 and Go to College on VHS, wish I still had them mainly for display purposes, loved the box art, movies were pretty fun too 😁 Good content Minty as always pal!
I really hope for some of these movies that you're not forced to actually go back and watch them to build up the material because I would have to feel sorry for you
Never saw this movie but the cover of this VHS terrified me for years every time I went into a rental store! I was actually afraid to go to the bathroom alone for awhile 😂😂😂😂 Who wants a creature biting their butt when they sit down???
There was another “little monster “ type movie. I think it was called Munchies. The cover art had a little monster dude looking up a lady’s skirt. I think it was 80’s?? Anyone remember that?
Oh god yes. I recall renting that out from Spar in Cockermouth, Cumbria back in 1988. As far as I can recall it sucked pretty much about the same amount of ass as "Ghoulies" (from my perspective anyroad).
Saw Ghoulies in the theater when was only 8. Scared me then. But I’ve seen it several times since then. I still love this ridiculous movie. And being a Law & Order SVU fan, I love that it has Mariska Hargitay.
Well done. Never seen Ghoulies (though i do remeber the poster as a kid) and most likely never will. But, the comentary was wildly entertaining. Well done Minty!
If you're looking for future suggestions, maybe try 1987's The Hidden or 1999's Ravenous. I'm pretty sure you haven't done those, and they are both criminally underrated. Either way, we love you Minty! Keep doing what you do.
I know it's dumb, but acknowledging that I might already know these facts actually makes me feel better about the whole process. Thanks for everything you do for us, Minty !
My family by accident took me to a yearly screening of "evil dead", instead of home alone 2. i was terrified and shat bricks. We were only there for 12 minutes and was already like half an hour in.
Maybe I was a bit too old to become genuinely scared by the poster with the Ghoulie popping out of the can, but I can sure tell you that it was memorable! THAT is the key to a good movie poster - making everyone remember it! Strangely enough, as intrigued as I was as a 10 or 11 year old kid, I've still never watched this film. Though tonight, I'm going to remedy that...
The marketing for Ghoulies was indeed infamous, but those were the good old days where low budget B films played in theaters. I wasn't confused on who the Ghoulies were, as opposed to Gremlins or Critters. Seen 'em all! But that poster gave my parents some pause. Looks like crap, they'd say. :) But hey, it was a PG-13 film...so they let me see it.
I liked gremlins and critters, my kid even had a gizmo furby. Well until it ticked his Tom cat off. However of the 3 movies I've watched Ghoulies way more. With critters coming in second. Having an adolescent interest in the occult it was funny. And let's face it Mariska Hargitay was absolutely beautiful as Donna. Personally it's got some good moral lessons in it. Probably by accident but they're there. Overall I love the movie and now I wonder if it's why my son was afraid of the toilet when he was 1 🤔 Thanks for the video. It was good work and now I want to watch the movie again. 👍
Freddy's Dead (A Nightmare on Elm Street 6) had that partial 3-D feature, I remember putting on my special 3-D sunnies for the final battle of the movie.
I was just about the point out how similar this movie looks to some of those puppetmaster movies and then you go and mention Charles Band while displaying and sitting with a lot of the puppets from puuppetmaster! I knew I was spot on with the similarities in the environment and little creatures attaching people in one location setting! The first puppet master movie I saw appeared on the Syfy channel and it took place at a ocean side hotel! I was a kid so I just remember worrying about the flamethrower puppet coming through my bedroom door and lighting the bed on fire while I'm sleeping! I also worried about the drill head puppet! I never did like puppets and animatronics!
Funny story: When I was younger at around 8 years old, I heard my parents say they were going to watch "The Goonies 2". I got excited and snuck around the corner to watch it (I was supposed to be in bed), and was really confused to see that that movie had nothing to do with the goonies. It turns out I just misunderstood them and thought they said The Goonies 2.🤣
Actually one of the green Ghoulies creatures looks like the creature that was used in the tv miniseries V. Where the girl was giving birth to a baby and the other baby was a green alien freaky.
that darn poster had me afraid to take a dump on the toilet for 2 years.... my mother let me watch House 2 which gave me nightmares but wouldnt let me rent Ghoulies.... she was afraid I'd just poop on the floor from then on or something LOL.
I love how Benson faced off with ghoulies AND Freddy Krueger in one of my favorite episodes of Freddy's Nightmares:):) Yeah, Minty, you forgot to mention Freddy's Tricks and Treats;) She'd be PERFECT for a Nightmare remake as the lead parent/cop where Freddy actually goes after the LAW ENFORCEMENT who killed him and their kids have to rescue them or at the very least destroy HIM in a Monster Squad kind of way! Those ghoulies are ADORABLE, their round bald heads, especially in that little T-shirt and suspenders on the poster, just like MAC wearing his red T-shirt:):)
Just saw ur Rocky IV video. This film Rocky IV messed with kids heads like Return to Oz. Vince Dicola's music was like a mix of The Terminator and Nightmare on Elm Street 3. When Creed gets killed in the ring, my 4 year old self had nightmares but I love this movie so much and a director's cut is on its way. He's cutting out the robot

Detective Olivia Benson sure had crazy college days. Going to parties at old castles and avoiding Ghoulies.
Wrong detective. You meant Olivia Benson. :)
Ha ha! She sure did!
In an alternative universe, this movie is called Beasties and the rap group is called the Ghoulie Boys
That's the version made in Beetlejuice's Netherworld
Would that be the same universe where transformers was done by james cameron and terminator was a cult john waters movie? 😄
.......damn. Now i kinda want to see both of those.
That’s actually funny 😄

Lol 😂

I think we need a "10 things we didn't know about Minty" post.
#1 , hes hung like a fucking horse.
#3 Some of his fans like to speculate about the size of his penis.
You fucking weirdos.
4 the oversize sunglasses make him look like charlie brown on heroine
Hes not Australian
He presents every episode actually sat on a toilet
Hey Minty, that "Law & Order" series you mentioned that Mariska Hargitay is in is actually titled "Special Victims Unit"
Ghoulies is still a brilliant 80's horror movie. 😀👍
Almost as good as Ghoulies 2: Ghoulies in Paradise.
Never heard of it.
Jjjjeeeezzzzz....one of my top 5 worst movies ever.....even that movie about a evil fuckingire is better than this
Agreed
I remember “Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare” used that same gimmick - when the girl put on her 3-D glasses, the audience was meant to put theirs on as well.
Freddy’s dead was piss poor film though it would of been better being the last one
This is one of the 80's vhs covers from my childhood that sticks in my mind the most.
This and "Q" (Quetzelcoatl).
I was 6 in 1987. But seeing the vhs cover never gave me nightmares.
But "A Nightmare on Elm St. 2: Freddy's Revenge"?
I had nightmares for over a year because of THAT fucker...
Same age at the time and felt the same about the cover . Funny coincidence. But still like the movie .
@@feck2594 I enjoyed the movie also. It just wasn't one that gave me nightmares.
I thought the little gremlin coming out of the toilet was adorable!
I was absolutely scared to death to use the toilet as a little kid when this movie came out.

@@julieblair7472 THAT'S AWESOME! I LOVE THAT LINE. LOL
PLEASE do this one minty.
the toilet scene actually caused me to be scared of my toilet XD So each time I used the bathroom checked my toilet hahah. Psh being to scared
Same here I still check my toliet before I sit on it
As a kid, it caused me to check the toilet for years. Snakes are a real life possibility tho.
I had this reaction as a kid too. Was kind messed with me a bit.
Lol I thought I was the only one. Don't know if it was this film or before it I was sceared of the toilet.
Same dude. Same
I'll never forget that infamous vhs cover at Blockbusters! It never scared me but certainly made me look into the toilet bowl before sitting!

Part 2 is awesome!!

Funny story:
When I was younger at around 8 years old, I heard my parents say they were going to watch "The Goonies 2". I got excited and snuck around the corner to watch it (I was supposed to be in bed), and was really confused to see that that movie had nothing to do with the goonies. It turns out I just misunderstood them and thought they said The Goonies 2.🤣
How old are you now? And did you get caught and did the movie scare you?
@@stephanmckinnie8855 I'm 38 now, and no, didn't get caught. Lol. I saw the first guy get killed, and then I got out of there.
3 thing we did. 1, they itch. 2, they’re painful if you sit on them. 3, no one likes being kicked in them. 😂😂😂
Even as someone who was old enough to know better I was a little nervous about the toilet a few times just because of the commercial.
Great commentary as always, Minty! Now please, please review Razorback!
Actually one of the green Ghoulies creatures looks like the creature that was used in the tv miniseries V. Where the girl was giving birth to a baby and the other baby was a green alien freaky.
Hmmm never seen this one before, gonna add it in my watch list. 😊
that darn poster had me afraid to take a dump on the toilet for 2 years.... my mother let me watch House 2 which gave me nightmares but wouldnt let me rent Ghoulies.... she was afraid I'd just poop on the floor from then on or something LOL.
One of my favourite movies of all time!
I had the same experience in the video shop seeing this poster cover. Both my brother and I wouldn’t use the loo at night.
I love how Benson faced off with ghoulies AND Freddy Krueger in one of my favorite episodes of Freddy's Nightmares:):) Yeah, Minty, you forgot to mention Freddy's Tricks and Treats;) She'd be PERFECT for a Nightmare remake as the lead parent/cop where Freddy actually goes after the LAW ENFORCEMENT who killed him and their kids have to rescue them or at the very least destroy HIM in a Monster Squad kind of way! Those ghoulies are ADORABLE, their round bald heads, especially in that little T-shirt and suspenders on the poster, just like MAC wearing his red T-shirt:):)
Just saw ur Rocky IV video. This film Rocky IV messed with kids heads like Return to Oz. Vince Dicola's music was like a mix of The Terminator and Nightmare on Elm Street 3. When Creed gets killed in the ring, my 4 year old self had nightmares but I love this movie so much and a director's cut is on its way. He's cutting out the robot
It's actually Special Victims Unit. And it's a great show.
