Gremlins Page #5

Synopsis: Minature green monsters tear through the small town of Kingston Falls. Hijinks ensue as a mild-mannered bank teller releases these hideous loonies after gaining a new pet and violating two of three simple rules: No water (violated), no food after midnight (violated), and no bright light. Hilarious mayhem and destruction in a town straight out of Norman Rockwell. So, when your washing machine blows up or your TV goes on the fritz, before you call the repair man, turn on all the lights and look under all the beds. 'Cause you never can tell, there just might be a gremlin in your house.

I'd like to...

...give you this small token.

There's one other one.

This is an invention of mine.

Smokeless Ashtray.

How did you know?

Man at gas station tried to sell me.

Latest word in technology.

Very generous of you.

I'm sure it will come in handy.

Well, that's the story.

So if your air conditioner goes on the

fritz, your washing machine blows up...

...or your video recorder conks out...

...before you call the repairman...

...turn on the lights,

check the closets and cupboards...

...look under all the beds.

Because you never can tell.

There just might be

a gremlin in your house.
