summary: "The Tremors film series is a cult classic collection of horror-comedy movies that began with the release of the original \"Tremors\" in 1990. Set in the isolated desert town of Perfection, Nevada, the film follows a group of locals, led by handymen Val McKee (Kevin Bacon) and Earl Bassett (Fred Ward), as they battle giant, worm-like creatures called Graboids. These subterranean monsters hunt their prey by sensing vibrations in the ground, making it nearly impossible for the townspeople to escape. The film's unique blend of horror, humor, and creature-feature elements, along with its memorable characters, made it a fan favorite and spawned a successful franchise.

The Tremors series continued with several sequels, each introducing new types of creatures and expanding the mythology of the Graboids. In \"Tremors 2: Aftershocks\" (1996), Earl Bassett returns to battle a new generation of Graboids, which have evolved into smaller, faster creatures called Shriekers. \"Tremors 3: Back to Perfection\" (2001) sees the return of Michael Gross as survivalist Burt Gummer, who must defend his hometown from a new threat: the Ass-Blasters, flying creatures that are yet another stage in the Graboid life cycle. The franchise continued with \"Tremors 4: The Legend Begins\" (2004), a prequel set in the Old West, and two more sequels, \"Tremors 5: Bloodlines\" (2015) and \"Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell\" (2018), both featuring Burt Gummer as the main protagonist.
