GREMLINS IS WAY SCARIER THAN WE REMEMBERED! *REACTION*

The gremlins were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that chaos and bloodshed soon would be there...and it was! Hide your dogs, hide your valuables hide your Santa Daddy trauma-- we revisited Gremlins for the first time since childhood and were truly gagged at how darkly funny this twisted children's Christmas classic is! 🎄🩸🎁

100% you need to watch Gremlins 2:The New Batch. It's got a totally different feel to it and is completely off the rails. If you think Gremlins is camp then your mind will be blown by Gremlins 2. You can just tell that everyone on the entire team had a blast making it. It's nuts!

[@John_Locke_108]

Not only did I see this in the theater when I was 7, but a couple of years later we watched this in school before Christmas break started. This was a legitimate kids movie with monsters exploding in the microwave.

[@chrisofstars]

This why we all desensitized now

[@oneironaut420]

Kids were definitely watching this movie in the 80s. There was a ton of Gremlins merchandise. I had a Gizmo squeaking plush and a wonderfully sculpted Stripe figure. There were trading cards and read-along book-and-record sets, bed sheets, you name it. The script was actually much more graphic and scary but they toned it down and made it more kid-friendly.

[@MartinSmith156]

Gremlins 2 is even better it's a pure campfest from start to finish. It's insane

[@anjealousanaconda9692]

The mom scene is amazing 💅🏾❤️ also the sequel is honestly one of my top 5 favorite movies I can watch all the time 😂

[@GDeNofa]

Gremlins 2 is such a fun and chaotic crazy movie. 😂

[@amillan2004]

I love the second one

[@Nate6981]

I actually prefer Gremlins 2. It's just so wonderfully unhinged. It's hilarious. I love it!

[@oneironaut420]

"Green blood? How festive!" LOLOL

[@stevenstevenson5303]

So glad they kept her story about her dad in the movie. Watch this every christmas

[@staciemiller7465]

I was single digits when this one came out, and I LOVED it growing up. 80s kids were used to this kind of film. Even our Disney movies were dark as hell (Something Wicked This Way Comes, Witch Mountain, etc).

[@GDeNofa]

I was 8 when I saw it in the theater. Yup, the 80’s kids saw such bizarre flicks. The secret of nimh was my fav too.

[@staciemiller7465]

@sweetvegan74 oh, I love that one! 💜

[@JadedJada]

I desperately need y'all to do Gremlins 2, it is peak cinema and peak camp, you will love it.

[@thomasbaker2067]

I can`t wait to see your reaction to Gremlins 2: The New Batch .

[@agenttheater5]

24:44 Her last words "They've come for me! I'm not ready!"

[@chrisquinlan6527]

Gremlins is a MUST watch. Every year.

[@angiecoleman7479]

My mom took me to the theater when it came out I was like 5 or 6 and have been OBSESSED since.. definitely a Christmas classic in my family can’t wait till ya’ll watch the 2nd one also Christmasy ish

[@michaelschwartz8730]

Love it! If they ever make a Gremlins 3 it MUST include a sequence where one eats all the meds in the cabinet. 2023 and beyond demands it

[@keshanichele750]

This was my childhood! So nostalgic

[@GDeNofa]

Gremlins was actually darker and Steven Spielberg made the creators cut or change a few scenes. The needle in the teacher’s butt was originally a ton of needles in his face. And they delete a scene where we see the gremlin trying to pull the knife out of his chest in the kitchen. If you look over the mom’s shoulder, you can see it happening! 😮

[@anjealousanaconda9692]

Also if I’m not mistaken I believe Gremlins was originally intended as a sequel to E.T.

[@joseluisherreralepron9987]

I saw this theatrically in '84 when I was 14. Everyone was surprised by how dark it was; the Christmas Eve story was a real show stopper. There was TONS of merchandising and I still have a Gremlins pin I was given at the theater.

[@elijahbaker781]

Gremlins has been my childhood Christmas movie ever since I was 3.

[@JD43081]

I love the use of the Santa in the chimney urban legend

[@AvaricioDues]

This is my fave christmas movie, if you guys get a chance to watch Gremlins 2 you should cause it is pure camp

[@trevorschaffer9173]

Gremlins is a superb Christmas film.

[@NorthernHandle]

The sequels plays up the zaniness of the bar to a 10 but it’s sooo good! The practicals here are totally stellar but the sequels is up and beyond, it almost baffles me how they were able to pull off such effects.

[@Blenderrhodes]

Can't stop picturing the mom as Bernadette Peters thanks to your Into the Woods reference...

[@luvv_demi]

Wooh Chile… this movie gave me LIFE as a child ♥️

[@A.I.Friends]

My favorite is the father. "Fantastic ideas for a fantastic world, I make the illogical, logical."

[@oneearrabbit]

“Were kids actually watching this movie in 84?” They showed this movie in my kindergarten class if that gives you any indication.

[@yournamehere6002]

Written by Chris Columbus, who directed HOME ALONE and MRS. DOUBTFIRE!

[@darreylhenderson702]

In the original script, the dog does get eaten by the Gremlins, also, Billy's mother gets killed by them, and when Billy comes home, her head bounces down the stairs. Also, Gizmo was supposed to change into Stripe.

[@staciemiller7465]

Just found out that Darlene Love was Roger's wife in Lethal Weapon! 💜

[@9tailed1]

Fun small fact. According to the dvd commentary, Barney the dog was responsible for destroying a large number of gizmos on the set. That dog hated the puppets and freaked out 90% of the time he was around them.

[@oneironaut420]

The town square is the same one used in the Back to the Future movies. It's at Universal Studios Hollywood.

[@dylanaxel2723]

I watched this movie on repeat when I was a kid and when I got my dog I named him Gizmo just because of this movie

[@jeffreymatthews6051]

This movie came out when I was a junior in high school. I remember going to see it, we loved it then and now. Check this out mean Mrs Deagle was the goat of mothers back in the day. She was Flo the waitress at Mel’s diner On a tv sitcom called Alice. “Kiss my grits” lol. Awesome reaction again. Love seeing you post can’t wait for the next one love and prayers

[@mandyb2245]

There's a show of this? I've never heard anyone say this isn't a Christmas movie, because it literally is. This movie gave me nightmares when I was little, though I can't quite remember what I dreamed. YES, watch the second one! It's so much fun! :D

[@PettyPumpkins]

Yes, there’s an animated version! (Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai) on Prime, Max, or KZbin!

[@LadyKagero]

IF the Gremlins come out of Gizmo already mean and bad, I can imagine what the old guy did to make Gizmo so calm and nice and would love to see a Gizmo origin story. I always thought about this as a kid, Gremlins 2 the new batch is my favorite movie too.

[@Paul77ozee]

I remember when this came out in Australia. I was around 8-9 years old and a 7/11 opened up near me and they had a green lime slurpee to coincide with the movie release. Plus you got a cool sticker of a gremlin and they put gremlin foot prints all around the floor of the store.

[@jessielallier9483]

The flannel is flanneling!

[@calandraantonelli8939]

Yessss. Watch the second one too.

[@ColinTedford]

Stop blowing smoke, gramps - nothing we've seen suggests Billy will ever be ready to tend a Mogwai, and you know it!

[@TrismegistusMx]

Gremlins is good, but Gremlins 2 is one of the best movies of the 80s.

[@MartinSmith156]

It's so campy and self aware, they even make fun of the first film in the sequel

[@TrismegistusMx]

@@MartinSmith156 President's Day!

[@Jprager]

It technically came out 1990’

[@DanJackson1977]

I was 6 / 7 in 84... and this was my Star Wars. I saw it 13 times... at some point my dad would literally drop me off in the theater by myself and go watch another movie (80s parenting). Before it hit VHS I had memorised the movie.. and once acted out the whole thing for my grandmother. 😂 this was a Gateway horror film for so many of us... during the time when horror was at its absolute peak. Yes, see Gremlins 2... it's a meta camp classic.

[@squidboitoys]

Y’all should totally watch the show. It follows the old man at the beginning and end of this movie as a child and how he met gizmo. It’s not tooo scary but I only got to episode 2 but I do plan on finishing it.

[@lesheezy]

Billy is such a horrible pet owner. lol, I love this movie!

[@laticha402]

My favorite is the second one, I'll be waiting for your reaction, I know it'll be awesome

[@DocHikes]

Chey! I love that color on you btw. And great video as always!

[@shut_up_james]

AHHHH I’m watching this movie for the first time in 30 years this week, so after that, I can’t wait to immediately watch this reaction! 😍😍😍😍

[@AFireInsideASMR]

Batman Returns is another great Christmas movie! 🥰💚❤

[@tree6787]

I love this movie and yes it is a Christmas movie❤

[@agenttheater5]

20:20 Must be a descendant of a shield maiden or was a shield maiden in another life (norse warrior/viking women). Though someone pointed out that farm wives from then would've been really tough and more than capable fighters since they'd be protecting the property when their men were off raiding or exploring. Either way, she had shield and knife/sword ready to go

[@Ali-gb7mf]

You guys just made my Thursday.🐶

[@CrownlessKing88]

Mother was also Dewey and Tatum’s mom in Scream!

[@katwebbxo]

Loved this movie since I was a kid. Gizmo is so adorable. 💕

[@chrisofstars]

17:38 Sliced and with peanut butter.

[@Morgonna]

I really hope you watch Gremlins 2! Especially if you've never seen it.

[@PugQueen-cx1wn]

It’s not a Christmas movie- but in the new year would you consider reacting to Rocketman please? Taron Edgerton, Richard Madden, Jamie Bell- young Elton Johns life, so amazing! Also has a young Kit Connor in it!

[@darreylhenderson702]

It is

[@radioactive_moose]

That wasn't Gizmo Billy left at the school.

[@jang7675]

I mentioned this on another reaction, but this film was a PG feature. It scared so many kids and got so many complaints that it (along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) helped create the PG-13 rating. Both films were "too scary" for PG but not scary/horrifying enough to be rated R.

[@sharonellis8776]

Hi pumpkins, I love this movie and watch it every Xmas eve. Please watch part 2 as well xx

[@StarLord66X]

The best react channel, reacting to my childhood movie. What more could get better

[@Rosieq1197]

Not Chey in his 1989 cardigan ❤

[@neojc128]

I just LOVE your blue nails

[@PettyPumpkins]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@avengersfan949]

I need a Mogwai

[@lindapetersson4807]

I LOVE this movie!!

[@Owen_Minogue]

Yes, do a Gremlins 2 reaction!!

[@chelseabellamy6993]

Please do a watch of Gremlins 2: The new batch. Gizmo is serving. And there are some ICONIC gremlins I almost loved as much as Gizmo. And one gremlin that has sexy legs that make me ashamed of my own.

[@thatscrewedprude8717]

They were originally going to decapitate the mother

[@michelecaruso1313]

❤Gizmo❤️ my very favorite Christmas movie.

[@uniquelyme3581]

Classic! 😂😊

[@Pinupchemist]

Omg where did Che get the cardigan? I graduated hs in 1989 & I’ve been low-key looking for a letter jacket or sweater with a “D”. Blue 1989 sweater fits the mood too… I ‘m excited you’re doing this movie! My brother (2yrs. younger) & I used to rent it at least every month for a long time ‘til our, well, 9 years younger than the other brother got freaked out & my parents put an end to it. The younger one also heard my cousins & me talking about Candyman (still hasn’t seen it) & could not have a mirror in his bedroom for years. He had to have been 15 at the time. I always end up feeling bad for the gremlins. I have a litter of kittens that I call Grendel & the Gremlins. Grendel is the only identifiable one - the other ones I can’t tell apart. They all have little pointy gremlin/dragon faces. Grendel is the only boy, which is weird because they’re orange tabbies. I love all the gremlins!

[@xXxBeautifulChaosxXx]

We were dragged to a lot of movies that probably weren't the best for kids. The first movie i saw in the theaters was the original Ghostbusters when i was 5. The demon dogs scared me so bad lol

[@fcannistraro2878]

Yes revisit the 2nd movie! It’s campier and more comedic in my opinion.

[@Chris.frost1111]

I love this movie!! Please react to Gremlins 2 😅

[@amillan2004]

There is a Gremlins 2 you need to react to it

[@ColinTedford]

Yeah, watched this as a kid and it was way more scary and gross than expected - did not love it. I'm not sure I even finished it. I knew it wouldn't bother me so much as an adult but thought it would prolly not be my cup of tea, but I finally rewatched it around the same time you did and loved it.

[@rebeccavaldez9176]

Not you referencing Christina Ricci in Casper!!❤

[@sahar11111]

If you want a tragic beautiful love story watch " holding the man " i'd love to see you react to this beautiful movie

[@bananasaregood8655]

Gremlins has a higher age rating in the uk than it does in america. The sequel age rating has been bumped down tho, cus its much more a spoof cartoonish movie compared to the much darker original

[@JD43081]

I don’t think more of them popping out of gizmo was just reproduction but also the new ones possibly being different negative aspects of his personality

[@itswessums]

Gizz with the Rizz 💥

[@mozzer1981able]

Big boi is cute in the blue

[@bretalleman9352]

u guys remember alice ? the mean lady was flo kiss my grits lol

[@ScorpionStrike7]

Plz watch The New Batch!

[@sanchisan6997]

One of my tias had a yorkshire terrier named 'Gizmo'. He was cute but, such an absolute asshole of a dog. He. 👏🏾Did.👏🏾 Not.👏🏾 Like.👏🏾 Anyone.👏🏾 At.👏🏾👏🏾 All! Other than my tia, of course. And he lived for so long. We used to joke that he lived so long because he was a demon. Edited to say: I saw a far right advert after the end of your video. I wasnt expecting to see that in the petty pumpkin patch. 🤔

[@NCQ_Productions]

Watch the animated show it’s really good and hilarious

[@michelecaruso1313]

❤

[@speculativemusings3593]

A lot of people consider this as a movie that happens to take place on Christmas, not really a Christmas Movie.

[@darreylhenderson702]

A lot of people consider this a Christmas movie

[@Preston196]

Can u watch school of rock
