The Monster Squad


The Monster Squad




This film was a childhood classic of mine and it was my choice to view with our chat group. It went very well as they enjoyed the hell out of it and it holds up pretty well.

The universal monsters are in town and are looking for an emulate to destroy so that evil can roam the world freely, forever. Only a small group of kids who call themselves The Monster Squad can stop them.

Really great monster effects, especially on the creature from the black lagoon. A pretty scary Dracula performance and a creepy mummy all make this film extremely memorable. Let's not forget the wolf man, a creature that can survive TNT because it wasn't a silver bullet.

Complete with an 80's montage, Monster Squad is a great throwback film that any fan of the decade/genre will enjoy. People call it a ripoff of The Goonies but I disagree.
