Trick or Treat Studios' 2024 catalog will be unveiled tomorrow, but I'm excited to exclusively reveal some of their upcoming products here on Broke Horror Fan.
Up first are Gremlins 2 mogwai replicas. Gizmo, Mohawk, Daffy, Lenny, and George will be released later this year.
As I often say, horror comedies are not easy to do. And for as cheap and quickly thrown together as this movie is, it manages to strike an almost perfect balance between the two. It never feels like they're trying to be funny, just being funny, delivering off-beat remarks in a deadpan fashion that would later be echoed in films like Airplane. If you're a fan of the musical version—or just the works of Roger Corman—this darker version of the story is defiantly something that will be worth checking out.
Fairly typical gothic horror, which of course means troubled spirits and buried secrets of the past in a decaying castle. Unfortunately, it also means that all of those things crawl along at a snail's pace. Also, at times it feels like they're just making things up as they go along, which for Roger Corman, is a distinct possibility. But if you want to see Jack Nicholson and Boris Karloff directed by Roger Corman and Francis Ford Coppola, this is that very specific thing.
