With snazzy new packaging and a bunch of all-new bonus features, the ‘Gremlins: 30th Anniversary Diamond Luxe Edition‘ Blu-ray is the perfect gift for any fan of Joe Dante’s delightfully wicked black comedy. We’re giving away a copy this week. Don’t miss your chance to win!
In addition to all the features from the previous Blu-ray release, the Diamond Luxe Edition contains the following new content:
- From Gizmo to Gremlins: Creating the Creatures
- Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous: Making Gremlins
- Hangin’ with Hoyt on the Set of Gremlins
- Motion Comics of the 1984 Books “The Last Gremlin” and “Gremlins: The Gift of the Mogwai”
On top of that, this prize pack will also include a ‘Gremlins’ mini poster autographed by director Joe Dante and star Zach Galligan.
So, how do you win?
We all know the three simple rules for taking care of a Mogwai:
- Don’t expose him to bright light, especially sunlight.
- Don’t get him wet or give him water.
- Never feed him after midnight.
I want you to create new rules for Mogwai care and explain the consequences of what will happen if someone breaks each rule.
For example: Don’t let him listen to talk radio. He gets quite belligerent in his political beliefs, and you’ll never hear the end of how Obamacare denies coverage for post-transformation fur replacement treatments.
We have one copy of the Blu-ray to give away. The winner will be chosen at our own subjective discretion based on whichever responses we enjoy the most. Entries are limited to a maximum of 10 rules per person. That should give you plenty of opportunity to craft a good submission, but will also help us to avoid any potential appearance of awarding prizes based on volume rather than quality. (Please heed this limit. You will be taken out of consideration if you submit more than 10 entries.) All entries must be submitted in the Comments section of this blog post. Please do not attempt to email them to me.
This contest is only open to entrants from the domestic United States. We will not ship internationally (whether you’re a U.S. citizen or not). Employees of High-Def Digest or Internet Brands and their families are not eligible. Standard contest rules and conditions apply. People who have won any of our previous contests within the past one year are also not eligible to win, but may get Honorable Mentions.
The deadline for entry is Friday, December 12th. The winners will be announced the following week. Good luck!

A prize I’d love to win but can’t, I’m just entering for the fun of it….
1) Don’t go out to dinner with them. They will order more food than you do, then insist on splitting the bill evenly.
2) Don’t let them borrow your phone. They will send sexually harassing texts to all your contacts.
2) Don’t let them chew bubble gum. They always get it stuck in their fur.
3) Don’t let them pick which movie to rent. They always rent Matthew McConaughey romantic comedies.
4) Don’t let them consume dairy. They are lactose intolerant, and will get very gassy.
5) Don’t let them act as your cinematographer, as they tend to favor too much teal and orange.

6) Don’t let them borrow your car. They will return it with no gas, and littered with Burger King wrappers.
7) Don’t go to the bars with one as your wingman. They are too cute and will draw all the attention (unless they already transformed, then you become the ‘good looking’ one.)
8) Don’t give them a Bar-Mitzvah. They become men.
9) Don’t make a Gremlins reboot. They will become CGI.
10) Don’t leave them alone with Bill Cosby…

Sorry NJ, I just noticed your Cosby remark! You wrote it first, my mistake. I’m a terrible skimmer!
NJScorpio
It’s a rule worth repeating.

Don’t let them watch the news of grand jurey decisions, or else they may riot, set buildings on fire, loot and attack police.

Gold Jerry, GOLD!
Csm101
Damn you Alex!! I had a similar remark in mind. : )
Bill Aicher
I can’t even compete with this since Alex wins in my opinion with “Don’t let them double-dip Blu-Ray releases. They refuse to remaster the transfer.”
Chris M.
Never give them Tequila shots. They become amorous with anything.
Don’t give them cheese balls. They’ll leave orange fingerprints on the curtains.
Never let them vote after eating past midnight. They vote Republican.

Csm101
Rule # 6
Never trust packaging that reads Diamond Luxe or Sapphire Series. It can turn consumers into unpleasant little gremlins.
William Henley
Never let them read blu-ray.com – they will give all discs 4-5 star ratings without ever actually watching the disc
timcharger
Never let them borrow your Steelbooks. The Gremlins think they are STEALbooks.
Taylor Carlson
Don’t feed them after midnight. And for that matter, don’t feed them BEFORE midnight either. In fact, don’t feed them period.
Kyle
Don’t let them watch television after midnight. Otherwise, they will clean your house with OxyClean and a Shamwow, while riding atop a roomba and listening to eighties dance hits.
Javier Aleman
Don’t let them go to the convenience store by them selves after dark or they will be shot at by local pd
William Henley
Never let them watch David Lynch movies – they might like them.

Rule # 7
If given as a gift to an ex or horrible boss, make sure the only rule is feed them after midnight with plenty of water.
William Henley
Never sell them alcohol after 2AM. No good reason, that is just the rule
Csm101
Rule # 8
Don’t buy matching outfits for you and your mogwai. It makes both of you look like a couple of assholes.
Csm101
Rule # 9
Never spank your mogwai in public. Especially Wal-Mart parking lots.
Csm101
Rule # 10 THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF ALL!!
If you absolutely have to leave your mogwai alone with Bill Cosby, then make sure to plant a recording device somewhere under his fur.
Brian
Don’t trim the bush. The hair makes the mogwai.
Julian
Don’t let them listen to the Scottish band Mogwai. They might sue.
Don’t let them project movies in 1.85:1. They might feed the troll after midnight.
Don’t let them read the spec-script for ‘Gremlins 3’. They might faint at the prospect of CGI.
Don’t let them surf the web. They might find The Bonus View and enter this contest.
Don’t let them stay up late, swap manly stories and make waffles in the morning. They might make an ass of themselves.
Aaron Booth
Never let them work on Wall Street. They will become arrogant and look down on all us little people
Bernie Wallace
Don’t let them make sequels to their own movies. They might be critically panned and will be less successful at the box office.
Ryan M
Don’t let them take selfies, it will permanently freeze their mouths in the duckface pose.
