Munchie!

I bet it’s gonna be pretty dead here the day after Independence Day, so I might as well put a stamp on it with a movie that none of you will watch!

Heeeeere’s Munchie!

Released in 1992, Munchie was the direct-to-video semi-sequel to 1987’s Munchies, which was a weird sort of Gremlins ripoff.

I call it a “semi-sequel” because Munchie has literally nothing at all to do with Munchies. (Honestly, Troll 2 has more to do with Troll.)

Whereas Munchies was a comedic horror movie, Munchie was straight-up family fare. Gone are the little punk monsters, replaced by one magical creature (the titular “Munchie”), who I guess was like a mix of ALF and the Great Gazoo?

(I’ve actually never seen this one, but I have seen its sequel, Munchie Strikes Back. Yes, this movie somehow spawned another one!)

Tonight’s survey:

Did you do anything fun over the extended holiday weekend?

Spill it, in the comments.

(Especially if it involved cool fireworks named after monsters.)

We unexpectedly ended up in Atlantic City. I lost at the casino and then lost worse trying to win a Bulbasaur doll from a crane machine. But we did get some really good sushi!
