” party — only because she was too young and found it too scary. But when she grew older and was reintroduced to the movie, she thought “it was the greatest thing ever.”

The series is an origin story that gives a partial explanation as to how Gizmo ends up in a Chinatown antique store at the beginning of 1984’s “Gremlins.” To add a Chinese element to the score, Chung used bamboo flutes, but the meat of the score came from the erhu, a two-stringed bowed musical instrument sometimes referred to as the “Chinese violin.”

As for creating character motifs and cues, when it came to Matthew Rhys’ antagonist Riley Greene, a man who seeks Gizmo for his own selfish purposes, Chung says, “I played him as big as he thinks he is. He’s so full of himself. But, he’s also a fearsome character and the epitome of a villain.”
