"They're clever. They're mischievous. They'll get into the kitchen, the basement, the garage. They'll get into anything. And once they get in... you're in for it!"

Welcome to this mini series: Monstrous Flesh Festive Frights!

Join your Monstrous hosts Megan Kenny and Clelia McElroy as they deep dive under the horrors of the season that lay hidden under the mistletoe...

In this first episode, we are joined by Emma Duncan, director of Fortune & Glory Film Club in Nottingham, to discuss the cult classic GREMLINS (Dante, 1984).

Get ready for some truly out there reading of this Christmas favourite... you'll never look at Gizmo the same way.

Beware, spoilers abound! If you haven't seen Gremlins before, make sure you do before sinking your teeth in this episode.
