As a kid I was
obsessed with the movie "Gremlins". I wore out my old VHS copy of the film watching it at least once a week for a span of god knows how many years. I couldn't get enough of those scaly, sharp-toothed, mischievous critters and this obsession probably explains a lot about why I turned out the way I did. And you better believe I had my butt in the theater when "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" was released the summer I was eight years old. Hell, I even bought all of the the accompanying toys and coloring books. While my enthusiasm has leveled off over the years, by love has never waned. In fact, I've still got a "Gizmo" figure sitting on my desk at home.
Anyway, that's a roundabout way of explaining exactly why I'm loving this impressive fan video, created by an industrious filmmaker by the name of Sacha Feiner. He's created a new version of the awesome sequence in the second movie where the film appeared to break and gremlins ran amock in the projection booth, inserting themselves into various TV shows and movies. Here, we get to see the gremlins making their own contributions to such classics as The Exorcist, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Batman. Enjoy.
