I’m not sure if I really should have included Gremlins in the list. Not counting the movie and the Twilight Zone Episode they don’t feel particularly Halloweeny… (though I’m sure a pilot would disagree with me.) But on the other hand I find them interesting since they are one of the few examples of modern fairy lore. How much of that is fun tall tails or actual superstition I do not know… I’d be very interested to know how much they exist in current folklore in a “I don’t believe in them, but…” kind of way.
