When those guys eat fried chicken shortly after midnight, they end up transforming into evil Gremlins, which go on to terrorize Billy's home town. Unfortunately, Billy isn't able to keep his Mogwai Gizmo dry, and he ends up spawning multiple other little fuzz balls. Mogwai are furry little creatures with a bit of a mischievous streak, and they carry a strict set of rules: Don't expose them to sunlight, don't get them wet, and never under any circumstances, EVER FEED THEM AFTER MIDNIGHT.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the film, Gremlins features the teenager Billy Peltzer, whose father purchases him a mystical creature called a Mogwai for Christmas.
It generated more than $150 million in box office revenue and the film's success resulted in a sequel - Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Gremlins is one of those films that remains a classic 30 years after it was released in theaters.
