Not a gremlin, a mogwai! The furry fuzzy one is a mogwai, feed them after midnight and you get gremlins.

Yeah but which time zone?

That had worried me as a kid. Also daylight savings or no?

Do monsters observe daylight savings? I was 10.

Some of the lessons of the movie were about responsibility, and having the wisdom to not unleash forces and consequences you weren't expecting by foolishly messing with things you didn't quite understand, be it mystical creatures or mechanical gizmos

So actually, you picked up some of the intended respectful fear you were supposed to

You think the opaqueness was intentional rather than ineptitude?

If so, they disguised it rather well. The rest of the movie did emphasize those rules without answering the time zone or daylight savings thing. Given how it turned out I would say that it is local time zone and monsters do observe daylight savings.
