The Gogans

The Gogans are the secondary villains from the film Pete's Dragon. Lena Gogan, the matriarch, is played the late Shelley Winters. Her husband, Merle, is played by Charles Tyner. And their sons, Grover and Willie, are played by Gary Morgan and Jeff Conaway, respectively.

History
They're Pete's foster family (having a bill of sale to prove it) but they are abusive to him, so Elliott found him and they ran away. The Gogans go after him. They just keep looking for Pete because Lena, the matriarch, had paid $50 plus legal for Pete, and had no more of that left. They eventually team up with Doc Terminus and Hoagy to catch Pete and Elliot. In the end, Elliot saves Pete, burns the Gogans' bill of sale, and throws them into tar before having the Gogans give up on Pete. After Elliot scares the Gogans' horse, the Gogans go after him.
