 Cute and Cuddly Gismo. Wus.
It was a horror film.
I know Spike laughed all the time, and he seemed to generally be goofing around at first. But that was only until he began killing anything that moved. And he didn't just kill, he killed with wild glee. He blew people up and lit them on fire. He even killed his evil Gremlin buddies and laughed about it.
And all Gismo could do about it was gurgle and look cute.
The movie stigmatized me. I was horrified beyond the norm. I expected to catch a movie filled with cute furry little animals and I got the complete opposite.
Gremlins gave me nightmares. At twelve years of age, I awoke in the middle of the night with a vision of my kittens exploding in the microwave. I immediately hopped in the bed with my kid sister. I couldn't sleep alone.
The Gremlins were in the house.
To this day, I have not lived down my Gremlins nightmares. Last week, I was downloading some classics for my two young nephews to watch, movies that I loved as a kid. E.T. and Goonies and other such films.
I told my sister what I was doing and she said one thing, "You didn't download Gremlins did you?" Then she laughed. Hard.
I blame Gremlins for everything wrong in my life. |
