Can we just talk about how slimy and gross looking monsters from the 80’s movies looked? Honestly I love it! It makes them feel so scary and disgusting that you’d want to avoid one at any cost, either out of fear that you’d get dirty or they’d eat you

They used to play The Gate a lot on HBO when I was a kid, and nothing freaked me out as an 8 year old more than those little minions. Now I know why!

Damn it man. I can't speak highly enough about your content. This is some of the best commentary on the horror genre I've ever heard on YouTube. I really don't even have much to add to this discussion because you've said it all and more in the video, I just want to help your engagement stats because you deserve as much.

Gremlins is also very self-aware and tongue in cheek. Not to the extent of the sequel, but Dante's fingerprints are all over it. Right at the opening parallels are drawn between its protagonist Billy Peltzer, and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. It's a movie taking its place among classics, not just a sub-genre entry to be forgotten overnight.

The Gate was one of the very few horror movies that actually scared me, even as a kid. The false parents scene, and hte thing in the wall are just, BWUH... And the wild thing is, the sequel, while not great... is better than you might think it is! And unlike most budget horror dequels, is intimately tied with hte original.

Hey everybody, hope your'e having a great year so far, I am excited for some upcoming videos that I have in the works right now that should be coming out really soon. I have always been a really big fan of small monster movies since I was a young kid, I would love to know which ones are some of your favorites? Thank you for watching the video, and I hope you have a great day.

Bad Milo was definitely a modern breath of fresh air, not unlike Slither it had great humour but also the heart you mentioned is missing from so many others. Ace film.

Wait you mean to tell me that the dude who made “Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.” Was made by the dude who made “Troll.” Well, you learn something new everyday

I don't think the minions and the teens in The Gate are being filmed at the same time but rather are being filmed separately and then being composited in post. I say this because it seems to me like they're movement is sped up a little to better sell the effect.

The biggest impact of Gremlins is that it’s is the absolutely the best movie ever, it’s my favorite

Wow!! I never realized just how influential Gremlins was to the small creatures horror genre!! They have inspired so many homages!.i agree, it's time to bring back little monsters, to horror films. Speaking of Troll. That film scared me shitless, when I was 4 or 5, & begged my dad to rent it. I remember I got so terrified, that I then begged him to turn it off, which he did, lmao! I didn't even see the ending, until I was 21, lol!

The first Troll movie was both the best and scariest. It had an all-star cast, plus the iconic voice of Frank Welker.

Re: the forced perspective and the Ring in LOTR - one of my favorite uses of this effect is in Strangers On A Train, in which a murder is shown as it is reflected in the lens of a pair of glasses which the victim dropped on the ground. In fact the lens was about 4 feet across, in order for the reflection to properly capture the action. Another is in Top Secret, in which the foreground telephone rings, and when a man comes to answer it, it turns out to just be a giant phone, where it had appeared regular size to an audience that assumes it's simply really close to camera.
