If some graboid ends up on a solid surface like a concrete floor would it be able to move itself forward like a caterpillar? Or maybe its tentacles have enough strength to drag the graboid forward if they grab onto some anchor? Or this poor worm will be completely helpless out of its lovely dirt?

We actually got into this question in T-1. I wanted to show that, as you suggest, the graboid in Burt and Heather’s basement was partially helpless, not completely. We had shots of its spikes slipping on the linoleum floor but the director and editor decided not to use them. Love the idea of a graboid pulling itself forward with its tentacles. Wish we’d thought of it! BTW, the rig we built to shoot the spike shots will be featured in an upcoming Tremors: The Lost Tapes episode on S.S.Wilson’s youtube channel.
