The Gate
Directed by Tibor Takács
When two boys accidentally dig up the the gates of Hell and summon an army of tiny demons, they have to work fast to stop the demons from turning them into human sacrifices, or a big bad demon king will soon be slithering through the gate to take over the world. Oh well, at least Mom won’t see what they’ve done to the house! Part of the Spielbergian kid-centric horror wave that included THE MONSTER SQUAD and THE LADY IN WHITE, THE GATE’s success led to a sequel and a spot on Esquire’s “50 Best ‘80s Horror Films” list. A very young Stephen Dorff (BLADE) stars.

A great way to end off Halloween with a hidden gem!
Classic
This movie is awesome Halloween fun! The monsters are amazingness! I just watched "Blade" again last night, which is already 25 years old. It's hilarious to see a 12 year old Stephen Dorff in "The Gate"! This movie is not scary, but it is definitely an exciting adventure. The Gate is probably one of numerous movies which inspires the recent wave of '70s/'80s kid-supernatual-adventures like "Stranger Things" and "Super8".
Loved this movie as a kid! It’s a great starter horror movie if you’re just letting your kids watch horror movies
Someone should remake this with a bigger budget. I can see sci-fi/fantasy horror going on
