Overview

The pint-sized, toilet-dwelling terrors are back in Ghoulies II, this time hitching a ride to an ailing carnival where they take up residence in the 'Satan's Den' haunted house attraction. Carnival workers Larry and Uncle Ned are initially delighted when the ghoulish newcomers draw crowds and boost business, but the funhouse turns fatal when guests begin disappearing. With their trademark blend of mischief and menace, the ghoulies unleash chaos across the fairgrounds, feasting on unsuspecting patrons. This sequel serves up a campy blend of creature antics, carnival kitsch, and 1980s horror-comedy energy, as the line between staged scares and real danger vanishes under the big top.
