This week the boys come in like a goshdarn wrecking ball, learn black magic, and discuss sticker politics. Oh, and Ghoulies is spoken about too.

"Ghoulies" is a horror comedy film released in 1985, directed by Luca Bercovici. The movie follows a young man named Jonathan, who inherits an old mansion from his late father. Unbeknownst to him, the mansion is filled with supernatural creatures known as "Ghoulies." As Jonathan explores his new home, he unwittingly summons these mischievous creatures who wreak havoc on both him and his friends.

With its mix of horror and comedy elements, "Ghoulies" became a notable entry in the 1980s horror genre. The film showcases a variety of puppetry and practical effects to bring the Ghoulies to life. These small, grotesque creatures possess a mischievous nature, adding a touch of dark humor to the horror elements. While "Ghoulies" was not a critical success upon release, it has since gained a dedicated cult following due to its campy charm and memorable creature designs.

The success of "Ghoulies" led to several sequels, each expanding the lore and the antics of the Ghoulies. The franchise developed a reputation for its blend of horror, comedy, and supernatural creatures. Despite its modest origins, "Ghoulies" has endured as a cult classic, appealing to fans of 1980s horror and those who appreciate the campy and often comedic side of the genre.
