They go on from there to causing their own special kind of mayhem at a college in the third film until finally being practically excised from their own film in Ghoulies 4 which perplexingly replaces the slimy little monstrous puppets with two midgets dressed in bad troll costumes.
The Ghoulies are Hell spawn summoned by the usual unwise tinkerings with pentagrams and black magic. Slightly more unusual however is the fact that for some reason they use toilet bowls as the mystical conduit by which they reach this plane. This is never explained or justified but it does mean that the promotional art can feature the almost iconic image of the little green ghoulie rising from a toilet – probably the main reason these films.
Aside from the toilet dwelling green baldy there are several other ghoulies including a cat-like thing, a bat shaped thing and a sort of goat type thing. All of them are thoroughly evil and all of them are thoroughly unconvincing puppets.
That’s not a knife…
Though equipped with all the usual claws and fangs you would expect from a demon (albeit one that is the size of a cabbage patch doll) these guys use anything at their disposal which for some reason always seems to be horrifically violent things they just happen to fins lying around like scythes, flick knives, straight razors and umm…a barrel of industrial strength acid. You know, just normal stuff.
