Ghoulies (1985)  Now what can I say about this little 80′s gem?  This is the first of four films in the Ghoulies franchise, and it was a slumber party hit when I was 13.  The main character Johnathan (Peter Liapis) was almost a satanic sacrifice when he was baby.  Now all grown up he inherits a huge creepy property that gives him the desire to start using dark magic.  He summons the repulsive little ghoulies to do his bidding.  The ghoulies are pretty disgusting.  Bad skin, fuzzy hair (on some), all of them posess wicked teeth, and since they don’t have lips ghoulies tend to drool quite a bit.  Jonathan has his hands full between trying to hide his dark magic from his neurotic girlfriend, summoning dark stuff to do his bidding, and trying to get his friends together for a sacrifice.  Alas, Johnathan thinks he is in control of everything only to have someone from his past prove he isn’t as powerful as he believes.

Despite the corny dialogue and storyline full of holes, this film still entertains me.  The only really disappointing part is the poster with the ghoulie poking it’s head out of a toilet bowl with the tag line “They’ll get you in the end”.  Nobody gets attacked by a ghoulie coming out of the toilet…. until the sequel.
