This 1987 horror comedy stars Harvey Korman, Charlie Stratton and Nadine Van der Velde. This begins with archaeologist, Simon (Korman) and his
son, Paul (Stratton) finding a mysterious, alien creature that likes junk food. Paul names it Arnold and lets him eat snacks in the house. Simon's twin brother, Cecil (Also played by Korman) tries to steal Arnold, but Arnold multiplies a batch of hungry, mischievous creatures, "Munchies" and the only way to stop them is by means of electricity. Van der Velde (Critters) plays Paul's girlfriend, Cindy, Robert Picardo (The Howling), Wendy Schaal (The 'Burbs) and Paul Bartel (Chopping Mall) also appear. This is an ok creature feature that obviously follows the footsteps of "Gremlins," Ghoulies" and "Critters," but with dumb-founded/cheesy humor. Korman is amusing in it though and I'd still give it a try at least once.
