Tremors opens in U.S. theaters (1990). The Tremors movie series began in 1990 with a pastiche of traditional monster movies. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward starred as a pair of handymen living in the small, remote town of Perfection, Nevada, who discover that several giant, wormlike creatures have risen from the depths of the Earth and are preying on the local people and their livestock. Later, the SCI FI Channel aired Tremors: The Series (2003), putting Tremors alumnus Michael Gross together with an all-new cast.
