Subject: Gremlin Rules
Hey there!! I am unfortunately unable to get a copy of either of these films, but I desperately need the rules for keeping gremlins.
I remember it's something to do with don't get them wet, don't feed them after midnight, and don't let them hear Joe Cocker or something.
Can anyone help? Email would be appreciated. Thanks!

It was "keep them out of bright light" I can remember them going, "Bright Light! Bright Light!" I loved those movies.
LOL about Joe Cocker!

So it was the bright light! I couldn't be sure if it was or not, but a friend confirmed it the same time as I got your reply, so all is good!
Joe Cocker...I don't know WHAT brought that on!
Subject: Re: Ah! Yes it was!!
Glad to have been some help! Now I have the urge to see the Gremlin movies again! Wonder what the chances are that I'll find them at the video store? Probably slim to none!
Don't know where the Joe Cocker joke came from...maybe so, but it sure gave me a chuckle!
Have a great day, Ninja!

My memory is a bit imperfect, but what I can recall is:
1)keep them away from bright light
2)never get them wet
3)and never, never, no matter how much they beg, NEVER feed them after midnight.
We used to use those rules as a joke handbook for dealing with the local slimeball/weirdo.
