Gremlins (1984)

FRIGHT NITE FRIDAY WITH FRITZ!

While Fritz the Nite Owl will not be on-site for the screening, audiences can still return to the days of Nite Owl Theatre as Mike McGraner leads a special Fright Nite Friday presentation of Gremlins (1984). Fans will enjoy a full episode of Nite Owl Theatre complete with Fritz’s signature breaks loaded with trivia-tastic tomfoolery and campy special effects.

About the film: When Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) gets Gizmo, a cute furball called a mogwai, for an early Christmas present, he learns it comes with very specific rules: never get it wet, keep it out of the light, and never feed it after midnight. One by one, Billy learns what happens when those rules are broken. First, he spills some water on Gizmo, causing him to spontaneously reproduce. Later, he accidentally feeds them after midnight, setting their final evolution to chaotic creatures that escape and create mayhem across the entire town of Kingston Falls. As Billy, his friend Kate (Phoebe Cates), and other townspeople try to battle the Gremlins, the third rule comes in handy, since bright light frightens and ultimately kills the creatures.

Cast: Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton
