The second film was released in 1988, featuring the return of Scott Grimes as Bradley Brown (the main character from the first film). The terror starts when the creature's eggs are mistaken for Easter eggs; they quickly multiply after they hatch.
The third film, starring Leonardo Di Caprio in his film debut, begins when a family who has recently lost their mother move into an apartment, followed by the title creatures after hitching a ride in their truck.
The final film takes place many years later in space, where they try to wipe out the remaining species of Crites.
The series is often compared to the {{Gremlins}} series despite the script for the film having been before the film was released.
