The Tremors rights are back in the hands of Stampede Entertainment (www.joblo.com)

The copyright to the original Tremors screenplay is now back in the hands of its creators at Stampede Entertainment

In short, Stampede created Tremors, it's three sequels and the 13 episode television series. They wrote a script for a fifth film, but Universal decided that it didn't want any help from the creators.

Universal went ahead with its own ideas and created films 5, 6 & 7, which are frankly crap. Now Stampede has the rights back to the original film, they can make their own sequels with graboids and characters from that first story. They can't use anyone, or creatures from the rest of the film series. That's a bit of a shame as I really like the Shriekers from Tremors 2.

We used to watch the part in Tremors 2 where Julio gets chomped in slow motion over and over.

The scene where the truck's headlights in the distance come to a stop in the night used to scare the absolute shit out of me as a kid. I don't know why it was so horrifying. Left a lot to the imagination, I guess. Then you see the aftermath.

Is that when Pedro gets it? I need to rewatch now, it’s been like 20 years.

It might be. It's hard to remember. Two characters are waiting on supplies somewhere and they see the headlights way off suddenly come complete stop. After a while they know something's up and they go to investigate, and wind up finding the truck half destroyed, with the driver's hands still gripping the wheel and the rest of his body devoured by the little zergling guys. I feel like you might get to see a flashback from the driver's perspective too, but again, it's been so many years.

(looked it up and this is the Pedro scene)
