However, when the little monster’s spawn destroy the town and ruin Christmas, the gift turns out to be as disappointing as his Dad and his lousy inventions.

Joelle - "The Gremlins scare me more than serial killers."

Parry - "(In Ralph Parker voice) I don’t think Gremlins make a very good Christmas gift."
