Your home for all things Gremlins
Category Archives: Website Updates
Starting 2007 off with a bang!
Another year has come and another has gone, and it is amazing to think that it will soon have been 23 years ago that Gremlins first graced the silver screen…how time flies.
One of our readers, Vince (aka SteVin89) got into the holiday spirit recently with a fantastic Gremlins music video!
This is definitely one of the best Gremlins music videos so far, with a lot of polish and talent showing through.
He has some more videos on his youtube profile, so check them out! http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=SteVin89
While I am not a big fan of Mariah Carey, she did a rather decent rendition of Christmas (Baby please come home), which is featured in this video. It is kinda funny, when growing up watching Gremlins over and over…and over….and over…the quality of the sound was nowhere near the digital standards of today, and as Christmas (Baby please come home) plays during the opening titles, my young brain associated the title GREMLINS with the chorus of “Christmas” and for quite a few years I thought that they were singing “GREMLINS” (not “Christmas”). I am really not sure when I figured out that it wasn’t Gremlins being said, but Christmas…..
Nonetheless, the song has a special place within me, as it is the song that makes me think back to hours sitting on the couch curled up with a gremlins coloring book or sticker book and trying my damnedest to keep my feet away from that gap between the couch and the floor…..cause you never can tell….there just might be a gremlin in your house.
The hectic holidays are finally dying down, and now I will personally have some more time to devote to the site, so keep those videos, pictures, and comments coming!
Did you find any gremlins? Did you get any pictures of some delicious gremlins cookies? Send them on in, and I will throw them right up on the site. Jypsy27@gmail.com
Merry Christmas!
Santa Gremlin has come early this year, with some big updates!
First, and most notably, we now have a Wallpaper section! I have gotten quite a few request to have some of the most memorable scenes in Gremlins and Gremlins 2 available for your computer background, and here is the first batch.
11 fantastic wallpapers of fanart and Gremlins 1 for you! If you look in the sidebar, you will see thumbnails of the most recent wallpapers appear there, so check them out if you see any you might like to stare at all day!
If that isn’t enough to knock your socks off, check out the new “Lost Games” section, dedicated to the never-released Playstation 2 and Gamecube Gremlins Games!
Wowzers!
I hope everyone has a great holiday and get ready for a ton more gremliny fun in 2007.
How to Gremlinize your holidays!
After having my yearly Christmastime viewing of Gremlins, (a traditon I have had since I was a young tater tot) I realized that many people may not have any ideas on how to incorporate Gremlins into their holdiay merriment.
Note: If you are like Kate, and don’t celebrate christmas, well then just think of these as fun ways to spend this wintery season…
1. Watch Gremlins. (Preferrably with someone who hasn’t seen it, or with family)
This one is a no-brainer. It has everything you could want in a christmas movie, Scroogey Mrs Deagle, eggnog addicted cops, Snowplows crashing through WWII Vet’s homes, and santa with a Gremlin on his back!
Ok, well maybe those aren’t the greatest examples of why Gremlins is an uplifting holiday film, but the movie really reminds us that we should be thankful for what we have, and remember each day is a gift. Things could change with a drop of water, a scrap of food, or a wrong move while coming down a chimney on Christmas eve.
If you don’t own Gremlins yet, rent it, or better yet, buy it! The special edition can be found all over fora reasonable price, and is well worth it!
2. Make Gremlins or Mogwai Cookies!
Find an elf cookie cutter,and modify it slightly, (stars work well for the triangle-like ears.)
Make your favorite type of cookies, cut them out, and then add green or brown icing, and cinnamon drops for eyes 🙂
(More ideas after the break!)

The Super Secret Rare Kotobukiya Gizmo Figure!
(Quick site update: The video game section has been updated with some more information and stay tuned….new section coming THIS WEEK, I assure you! Meanwhile Fan Art Friday is going to be slowing down a bit, so I can focus on the other sections of the site. Fear not, there will be more fan art coming your way!)
A few weeks back I reported on a series of Japanese gremlins figures that were releasing soon that had fantastic detail and made me go all geeky.
Well now I have gone even geekier!
Apparently these figures have released and there is a secret one to be found in the boxes.
Ladies, Gentlemen, Mogwai, and Gremlins, allow me to introduce you to the most fantastic gremlins toy in the multiverse…..
Gizmo on dartboard!
Most people that know me, know that I really am not one of Gizmo’s biggest fans. I feel that he gets entirely too much merchandising when the gremlins get overlooked when it comes to awesomeness like toys or video games. Heck one of the reasons gremlins was so popular was the GREMLINS, sure gizmo was cute and marketable, but the Gremlins were the technical marvels of the 80’s, real enough to traumatize and fascinate a generation of fans.

Fan Art Friday #5
Well it has been hectic around here but never fear, Fan Art Friday is here!
I have some great news and some not so great news.
First of all the not so great news. This week was supposed to be all about gremlins tatoos but there were some technical problems that prevented me from putting them on the site. Hopefully they will be up in the near future.
Now the great news.
We have two new artists for Fan Art Friday beginning today, and both of them are a welcome addition to our gallery, and they have some really special works to show you, so you had better go check it out…..
After all, you never can tell, there just might be a gremlin in your house.
More information on what is coming to the site soon after the break!
