I am looking forward to this. I remember the original made for TV movie. I watched it's premier when I was just a kid-'Sally, Sally, Sally'! One of the only movies I'll see at the theater. |

They make for great goblins… the old fairy-tale variety. |

No Guillermo del Toro should do remakes of "Gargoyles" and "Devil Dog: Hound of Hell." I'm joking about the 2nd one, but "Gargoyles" would make for an excellent re-make in del Toro's hands. CC-what about using Khurasan's imps as stand-ins? They don't really look like the goblins, but maybe adding a pointed head might work. |

They look like long limbed rats to me…which in 15 would be 1mm or less…but if you are thinking of boosting the size to 15mm human standard, then I would look to a rat to start with. You get a decent look in this clip YouTube link |

Hmmm… do they have tails? In that clip they do look like rats… but in others I've seen they look like spidery-limbed humanoids. |

I would like Guillermo del Toro to take a shot at the classic film, The Raven imdb.com/title/tt0057449 *****
There have been a bunch of "the raven" films though unrelated to the subject at hand, including one coming out next year, so another title would need to be set…but the potential is there. ***** (wiki clip)
In this tongue-in-cheek movie inspired by Poe's poem, Dr. Craven is the son of a great sorcerer (now dead) who was once himself quite skilled at that profession, but has since abandoned it. One evening, a cowardly fool of a magician named Bedlo comes to Craven for help- the evil Scarabus has turned him into a raven and he needs someone to change him back. He also tells the reluctant wizard that Craven's long-lost wife Lenore, whom he loved greatly and thought dead, is living with the despised Scarabus. ***** Casting…casting is the rub. To keep the comedic flow but still having the range for the horror aspect. Maybe Guillermo is not the best choice here…dare I say that this may be right up Tim Burton's alley. |

"Hmmm… do they have tails? In that clip they do look like rats… but in others I've seen they look like spidery-limbed humanoids." Doesn't look like tails…but spidery armed rat bodied little humanoids seems accurate at this point :) |

Rvandusen, The 1972 film Gargoyles was awesome: TMP link I don't know if a modern CGI-riddled remake would have the same impact though. Dan |

Interesting faces, on those DBAOTD (2011) "rats":
And their hands do look more humanoid than rodent, though you can't really see that in this pic:
The second they cut the power you can see their faces a bit more clearly, but you really have to stop the trailer just in time (at 1:18, I think): YouTube link Dan |

This movie scared the crap out of me as a kid! I found it on YouTube awhile back,as well as Gargoyles. |

Anyone found any other stills? Dan |

The more I look at pictures of them, the more the critters from the 2011 version really look like mini-Morlocks or something along those lines: link

Now, if they were sculpted to just under the height of a 15mm human, to make them represent something 4 or 5 ft tall or so, that would be so cool. Dan
