Ghoulies Director/Co-Writer Luca Bercovici and Producer/Co-Writer Jefery Levy have obtained the domestic rights to their 1984 B-horror hit and are planning new films.
After a four-film run over a ten-year period and begins with a young man and his girlfriend moving into the man’s old mansion home, where he becomes possessed by a need to control ancient demons.
Ghoulies II picks up a short time after the first movie, a few of the little nasties stow away on an amusement park ride and bring big bucks to a dying fair. The creatures are mad after an attempt to kill them, so the creatures go on a rampage through the fairgrounds, ultimately leading to an explosive conclusion!
Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College sees a college teacher bring the little creatures back to his campus, where they proceed to terrorize the faculty and students. Then finally, Ghoulies IV saw the Ghoulies find their way through an open porthole and onto the streets of L.A., creating madness and mayhem as they search for a way to get back home. As the body count rises, it becomes an ultimate battle between a demonic killer, a rule-breaking cop, and our favorite creatures from the netherworld.

The Ghoulies series has held a place in my horror-loving heart ever since the VHS cover image of one of the creatures coming out of a toilet spawned very vivid nightmares (that didn’t involve toilets, thankfully) for me as a child. Didn’t end up liking the film, though, sadly, but I’m eager to see what the creators can do with a modern take on the slimy little creatures.
