Daniel Herbert presents a historical examination of New Line Cinema’s Critters (1986-Present) franchise. The essay looks at the role that home video early on played in the development of media franchises and also explains the centrality of Critters and other franchises to the development of New Line itself. The essay provides an example of franchise management from the industry’s margins.
