It will depend on if, and how, any version of a new Tremors goes forward. As of Sept 2025, there is “interest” but only time will tell if that leads to something.

We were writing in opposition to the stereotypes seen in the B monster movies we grew up with, so a smart strong female character was a given. Similarly, Val and Earl are not the experts you usually see in those movies. So yes, Tremors is probably woke by today’s standards, partly by design and partly by a desire to do something fresh.

It’s entirely up to Universal studios and what they think will make them money. And they don’t inform us. We were unaware that they were doing Tremors 2 until Arrow contacted S. S. Wilson about adding commentary.

Well, that’s the age-old question for all life forms really, famously asked of chickens. Graboids must have evolved from an earlier creature, perhaps one first relying only on metamorphosis, but over time established the 3-phase cycle that included the egg-laying ABs.

We are getting this question a lot now and certainly appreciate the enthusiasm and love for Tremors. First, there is no new Tremors yet, but we are hoping there will be. Second, if we are so lucky, we’ll need traditional experienced movie crew. We can’t randomly invite outsiders to work on set, even if they want to do it for free.

We always appreciate these sincere queries. And we know fans would pitch in where ever they could. But really our fates our in the hands of financiers (whether studio or other sources) and, sadly, they often don’t even care what fans think. If we do manage to get something new out there — buy tickets! Support streaming! They respect that.

We get many versions of this question. What creatures will there be? What characters will be back? Many include suggestions (like even how to “explain” Tremors 5, 6 and 7, which we have no desire to reference.) And some ask what Universal can still do on their own. Now that we have the rights to our first script, we are trying to figure all that out. But there’s no point in fantasizing or speculating unless/until someone is willing to finance something. We aren’t there yet [July 2025]. We can say that if we get the opportunity we will push for using practical effects over computer-generated.

Our feeling is they poop underground, like sea creatures poop in the sea. They are inherently streamlined and leave it straight behind them as they go their merry way. It wouldn’t make sense to surface and advertise their presence to animals that are their prey. If you were unlucky enough to encounter some, it would undoubtedly smell at least as bad as the graboids themselves. Larry’s finding of the key was perhaps an anomaly.

Least favorite is easy: it’s the night of the sinking car what wouldn’t sink. There are many fun moments, though, so it’s hard to choose. Maybe the graboid bursting through the wall in Burt’s basement, as the shot worked exactly as we hoped and planned. Being there when actors made lines even better than we thought, or did fun surprise adlibs (like Val punching the graboid tentacle in Rhonda’s truck). Many! Working on Tremors was fun!

We do not have the rights to the graboid likeness. Yes, the word “graboid” appears in our script but just the word. The creatures were designed, built and paid for by Universal during production. They own what you are asking about.
