Do I watch them?

I just bought "Ghoulies" and "Humungous" at a yard sale.  (Who could resist "It's loose...It's angry...And it's getting hungry!")

Given that my likes and dislikes roughly parallel the reviews here, do I watch these two treasures, or do I toss them into the box going to tomorrow's charity yard sale?

Thanks in advance for (possibly) saving me some grief.

Ghoulies is a surprisingly decent Gremlins knock-off and it spawned three sequels. Definitely view it before you chuck it.

        Just watch them first,given the extreme rarity of these two 80s flicks that are now hard to find(especially "Humungous"). Personally,they're not the best flicks(nor either of my favorites),but they're worth being seen,and your own personal judgment.
         And whether you like them or not,then you can decide on what to do with them from there on.....

The way I see it, if I find a film with zombies/monsters/aliens/psycho killers/whatever, or at least if the movie in question can be classified as a B flick, I'll give it a shot. That's what being a B movie fan is all about: Straying from the beaten path, checking out stuff that wasn't released to mucho hype and boffo box office, and the risk of either seeing something unbelievably awful, hysterically awful, or a rare gem. Take pride in seeking out and viewing stuff people with more mainstream tastes would consider "cheesy", "gross" or "bad", at least you're not them, watching Julia Roberts movies and never going past the "NEW" section of the video store.

I seem to recall liking Humongous, I thought it was creepy.
