Grandpa Fred's show
"Grandpa Fred's House Of Horrors" is a children's show hosted by the character of Grandpa Fred replaying old horror movies. It airs on the CCN (Clamp Cable Network) made at Clamp Center and first appears in Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
History[]
The show didn't do so well at first, because of Mr. Clamp's wish for all movies to be in color even though the black-and-white horror movies were the scariest movies of all. Furthermore, the show didn't have much of a budget and had to rely on cheaper props (such as a cross eye puppet name Igor and a fake skeleton).
When the Gremlins swarmed the Clamp Center, many of the film director's and crew fled the building, leaving almost all the sets unattended. Grandpa Fred decided to broadcast the Gremlin attack within the building with a tourist called Mr. Katsuji who helped film him. While filming and avoiding the attention of the gremlis, Grandpa Fred narrated to the viewers about the gremlins, and speculated that maybe the gremlins were from another dimension or perhaps another universe. Soon, they came across the Brain Gremlin and decided to interview him, and they set up a talk show, during the interview Brain tells Fred how he wants himself and the rest of the Gremlins to be civilized. The talk ends abruptly once a Beanie Gremlin annoys the Brain, which ends with the Brain shooting the Beanie in the head with a revolver.
