You could do the same thing with pixies, ghosts, fairies, too. Sounds good.
Nickeris86:
well the gremlins were an epic fail, just couldn't get the tone right for the plot and it just became slapstick which was not what i was going for. so they have been scrubed for now might use them again later for some comic effect.
so now i am left with a modern day necromancer good guy with a very slim introduction that takes place in at a funeral for one of his clients. he hates funerals and falls asleep in one of the pue's and gets woken up by a freaky dream that is not a dream. that's all i got so far.

one word ladies and gentlemen: Gremlins.
more accurately trying to remove gremlins from your tv or stereo with out blowing it up.

You might want to check out the TV movie - CAST A DEADLY SPELL. It's Mike Hammer meets HP Lovecraft. Actually quite good.
In it, someone is dealing, not too well, with Gremlins. (At least I think they're Gremlins) Fat little obscene winged critters that moon you and chew on wires. Also fart a lot.
Nickeris86:
hmm sounds interesting where could i get that show.
shades of grey:
Dead Like Me also uses gremlins fairly successfully.
