    • Trivia
      Originally planned to be filmed in 3D and actually begin production in 3D, the audience would put their glasses on every time the characters put their sunglasses on and the film would change from 2D to 3D. After two days of filming in 3D they changed their minds due to the complexity of filming in 2D and 3D. This is why there are so many scenes where characters are wearing sunglasses
    • Goofs
      Grizzel is shown holding the goblet before Jonathan sets it down for them to drink from it.
    • Quotes

      Dick: They call me Dick, but you can call me... Dick.

    "Ghoulies" belongs in the toilet
    I can't believe this movie grossed around $35 million! I felt like I was watching an extra long installment of "Friday The 13th: The Series". So, if you liked that TV-series, then you'd probably like Ghoulies, otherwise AVOID THIS MOVIE LIKE THE PLAGUE! It didn't even have so much to do with the Ghoulies themselves so much as it did this lame cult. I thought Ghoulies II was a lot better (but that's not saying much). I could have made a better movie, or at least written a better script.
