Podcast 013 : Ghoulies 2

Dear Lord help us! We’ve gone back to the well already! It seemed like a good moment to go back to a simpler time when you could make a movie about little creatures terrorizing a small time traveling carnival and expect to make a tidy profit at the box office… or else we’re replacing you with ladies mud wrestling! Find out if we found this entertaining…

What a bunch of garbage ass trash apples, these little guys are, real stinkers. They really ignore all that fantastic lore that they built up in the first one and just lean right into the gremlins rip off status.

But Gremlins was fun right? Well what if we slashed the budget and gave it to someone much less talented? Probably still good right? Well… I got news for you bud… sort of?

Ghoulies II

(1)

In the second installment, unrelated to the first movie, the Ghoulies hitch a ride with a carnival and end up hiding in an amusement park funhouse called "Satan's Den" which becomes a smash hit when visitors believe the little demons are part of the attraction – that is, until people start falling victim to the evil creatures. The film stars Damon Martin, Dale Wyatt, Royal DanoPhil Fondacaro and J. Downing.

The film was again produced by Empire Pictures and directed by Charles Band's father Albert Band. It was also the last entry to have any involvement from Charles Band, as he sold the rights to Vestron Pictures to save Empire Pictures, which was struggling financially at the time. Ghoulies and Ghoulies II were released as a double feature DVD from MGM Home Entertainment in 2003 and as a double feature Blu-ray from Scream Factory in 2015. While both releases include theatrical trailers, the Blu-ray special features include commentaries, interviews, and still galleries. In 2017 Austrian company NSM Records released Ghoulies II on Blu-ray in a fully uncut R-rated version, marking the first time the movie had been released uncut since the original cast and crew premiere.
