Movie: Gremlins

Join us for Gremlins, the second of three Saturday morning Scary but Funny movies!

1985; Starring Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, Polly Holliday, and Frances Lee McCain; Rated PG; 106 minutes

Billy Peltzer's father buys him a new cudly pet. But heed these three

warnings: Don't ever get him wet. Keep him away from bright light. And

the most important thing, the one thing you must never forget: no matter

how much her cries, no matter how much he begs...never, never feed him

after midnight.

This series is hosted by Dan Kimmel, professional film critic and past

president of the Boston Society of Film Critics. Dan will offer brief

introductory remarks before each film, and

there will also be time afterwards for and comments, questions, and

discussion.
