Munchies is a 1987 horror film starring Harvey Korman, Charles Stratton, and Nadine Van der Velde. Clearly inspired by the success of Gremlins, the film features a remarkably similar plot line. It spawned two sequels, Munchie and Munchie Strikes Back, which possess no relation to the original save the title. These two films dealt with an impish wish-granting creature named Munchie.

[edit] Plot summary
The protagonist, space archaeologist Simon Watterman, discovers a "Munchie" in a cave in Peru. His son and girlfriend name it Arnold. Cecil Watterman, Simon's evil twin brother and snack food entrepreneur, kidnap Arnold while Cindy and Paul are making out.
When Arnold is hurt by his kidnappers, it becomes aggressive and attacks Cecil's adopted son. Attempting to kill Arnold, they chop him in half, but instead of dying, Arnold multiplies into four munchies. The quartet of creatures develop a love of women, beer, attacking people, and junk food in the process.
