| • | Tremors are a series of films (followed by a television series) about a group of people from a small town fighting precambrian subterranean creatures called Graboids. Tremors was originally conceived by the writer S.S. Wilson, who also directed the second and fourth films, the original Tremors was directed by Ron Underwood.
Perfection is a small desert town with usually less than 15 residents. Superficially, Perfection seems to be comprised of hired hands, a paranoid gun-toting survivalist, a hardware store owner, and a few nuclear families. It was once a mining town, and the series established that after the mines ran out a military biological research was established there for a while using old mine shafts. The research lab was shut down decades ago and it subsequently served as a supply center for a number of local ranches.
Perfection is also home to giant, prehistoric, burrowing monsters with three snake-like tongues that have been termed "Graboids" by the locals (specifically Walter Chang, who named them shortly before being eaten by one). The Graboids undergo a series of metamorphosese during their short biological life cycle, showing variants including the "Shrieker" and the "Ass-Blaster." Perfection's only stable income (a small town store called Walter Chang's Market) is offset by increasing tourism caused by the wide national coverage of the first documented Graboid attack in 1990 (the very first attack occurred in 1889, documented in the fourth movie, but was subsequently covered up). By the continuity established in the television series, Perfection has become a somewhat popular tourist and big-game hunter destination.
At the center of each and every Graboid assault is paranoid conspiracy theorist, Burt Gummer (Michael Gross). Burt and the rest of the town killed three Graboids in 1990. Fellow Perfection survivor Earl Basset was contracted by Mexican oil concerns to exterminate approximately fifty in Mexico in 1996 and invited Burt along to assist. Burt then encountered several more back in Perfection in 2001. This time around government officials complicated Gummer's agenda, stating that Graboids were an endangered species a
