🎥 VHS Vault: Critters 2: The Main Course (1988)

"Bitchin'!"

When Easter rolls into Grover’s Bend, the town has no idea a different kind of egg hunt is about to begin. Hatched from mysterious alien pods, the Critters return in full force; hungrier, nastier, and even funnier than before. From giant Critter balls to shape-shifting bounty hunters, Critters 2: The Main Course delivers all the campy chaos a VHS-era horror fan could crave.

I saw this one at the movies on the opening Friday night...It was fun, but much better on video.

⏪ Rewind or Fast Forward?

If you love your creature features with a mix of gore, slapstick, and ’80s practical effects, this sequel is a rewind every time. It’s bigger, bloodier, and wilder than the original. Perfect for late-night VHS marathons.
