Ghoulies

Luca Bercovici, 1985,

Ghoulies always felt like a glaring omission in my personal horror canon because it was one of the most memorable VHS boxes on display in the video store that was my second home in the late ’80s and early ’90s. And somehow I never noticed until now that the little green guy on that box is wearing an adorable half shirt and tiny red suspenders! Unfortunately he doesn’t wear them in the movie, so that’s a point deduction, and while the titular Ghoulies make me smile every time they show up onscreen, that doesn’t happen nearly often enough.
