Vermin. Rats with fluffy tails.
Noel, Bruno, Mirage, and Bailey (a ling line of dogs) have all considered them a scourge, and If you’ve ever had them nesting in YOUR attic, you’ll agree.
My aunts visiting from Australia and stopping in awe to take picture after picture. For that one day, I saw squirrels through their eyes, and they were awesome.
BluechaoS- couldn’t be any worse than Ice Spiders, which was totally a SciFi Channel Movie which I totally caught part of (on The Soup, but still). We should start that script right now….
The Bloody Munchkin- I know. I watched it. The whole thing. It was actually fairly decent as SciFi Originals go. Every so often they will bust one out that’s so bad even I wouldn’t have watched it had I but known. But I didn’t know, so I did watch it.
This is the original plot description for Attack of the Angry Mutant Squirrels:
“Bruce Campbell (who else?) stars as a bitter factory worker who for years has turned a blind eye to the improper chemical disposal the company he works for engages in. Finally, fed up with his job, he decides to squeal to the EPA (the fictional EPA who actually gives a crap). Bruce is about to get fired for his whistle-blowing ways when the Angry Mutant Squirrels (caused by the chemical dumping, obviously) attack!
Meanwhile, the EPA has sent a jaded, but highly-principled agent (played by Sean Patrick Flanery) to investigate. When he gets to the factory, the Angry Mutant Squirrels have overrun the place, and just when it seems like he is doomed to be eaten alive by Angry Mutant Squirrels, Bruce Campbell appears to save him (utilizing various factory implements and tools).
Together, they will face the horde of Angry Mutant Squirrels, and they will be awesome. And also gay. Hey, it’s my movie– besides, I can’t stray too far from the formula here. There’s usually either the established couple whose relationship is put to the test, or the new couple that forms based on shared near-death experiences. What better place for romance than amidst the onslaught of Angry Mutant Squirrels?”
Actually, I forgot about the exes/couple on the outs that get back together by the end of the movie option in that description, but that’s not entirely relevant, so…
Bruce The Chin Campbell! Who else! Awesome. And the Campbell/Flannery relationship! Awesome. I couldn’t ask for much more in a movie. Except for angry mutant squirrels…. Which…. Let’s get this greenlit!!!!

Secret Squirrel. Both the cartoon and the theme song by Marcy Playground, which I will now have in my head all day long.

Wait, Nik – they don’t have squirrels in Australia?

Attack of the Angry Mutant Squirrels which is my half-joking, half-serious idea for a SciFi Channel Original Movie.

Rats in cuter outfits. One of SATC’s better lines.

Squirrelly. (sp?) I can think of nothing worse than to be squirrel like.
