Hobgoblins is a 1988 American low-budget independent comedy horror film directed, written, and produced by Rick Sloane, who also served as cinematographer and editor. The plot concerns small, often considered cheaply designed and made hobgoblins (small demon-like mythical and goblin-like creatures).

Often seen as a rip-off of "every small monster movie," but mainly Gremlins,^[1][2] the film is generally considered to be of exceptionally poor quality,^[3] and has come to be regarded as one of the worst films ever made. It has become a cult film because of its poor quality, and earned infamy after it was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.^[4]
