The Monster Squad

[Nobody]

Young kids form a club that is devoted to monsters, but soon get more than they bargained for when Count Dracula adjourns to Earth, accompanied by Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and the Gillman. The uglies are in search of a powerful amulet that will grant them power to rule the world. Our heroes - the Monster Squad are the only ones daring to stand in their way.

I dunno why I didn't love this more as a kid, actually yes I do there's 2 reasons.

1/ The local video stores had it in the comedy section, which granted it is but I rarely ventured outside the horror/action sections when hiring. and

2/ By the time it was released, I was looking for darker material (see second part of 1)

But watching it now, It's a really fun and enjoyable monster romp,that works in this day and age as not only a loving tribute to the monsters, but the 80's themselves.

It would make for an awesome double bill with Dekker's other film Night of the Creeps

I'd give it a high 3.

I got this on blu-ray for Christmas but haven't watched it yet.

This is a classic, I give it a four!
