The Monster Squad

after long time watching again monster squad 🧛🦇

Trailer—The Monster Squad

I'd seen "the Monster Squad" several times as a kid, but (and this is unusual) the only thing I remember is one line: "Kick him in the nards!" That's it. I'm as prone to nostalgia fog as the next guy, but I carried no warm memories of this. I figure that's why it didn't do much for me as an adult. The kids seem well cast and I think the makeup and creature effects are fantastic (Stan Winston and Richard Edlund FTW). Not only that but it stands as a relic of a very different age of kids movies. Some of the language involved, and the fat kid actually being named Fat Kid? It just doesn't work like that in 2016. I've seen the comparison to "The Goonies" made often, but I'll take that one instead. This is very '80s, but also a huge shrug.

I'll just say this... It is without a doubt one of the best kids Halloween night movies EVER! Most of the CLASSIC MONSTERS are here...Dracula, The Creature, Wolfman and Frankenstein (well his creation anyway! everyone calls it this) along with the Brides and the supernatural effects it's just a whole lot of fun. The Kids are FANTASTIC (thanks Gang...I know your all grown up now but you should be proud) It's really a PG rated Horror version of 'THE GOONIES' another film I LOVE. The story for this kinda of film is clever and a good one with some lines your kids will be repeating for ages...The Wolfman's got .... An endearing, enchanting Kids Horror film from the 1980's (WOW that was a good era for movies) ENJOY 10/10

This is one of those movies where all the details come together to make something a lot more fun than it should be. A great late-night popcorn seller. The monsters are done well, the dialogue is funny, the F/X are competent, and the mood of the film is consistently creepy-yet-upbeat. I don't understand comparisons to "The Goonies" . . . about the only similarity is that both movies revolve around a group of "outsider" kids, which is hardly a concept new to Hollywood. Another film that just screams for a DVD release.

Oddly enough it's not really a kids horror movie nor is it an adult horror movie. And although "Hollywood" may advertise alot of movies with the tagline " Fun For the Whole Family". This actually delivers on all fronts. It's a great homage to the universal monsters. And its got a very sandlot, stand by me/goonies vibe. If your a fan of horror in general or a fan of quality 80s action adventure then this won't disappoint.

This is a great and imaginative kids adventure film. Well acted, well written and the monsters look great. I'm sure that many parents would be conserned by the cursing in this film done by 12 year olds (most likely the reason this gem hasn't hit DVD yet) but I have never understood how some people think that cussing will destroy your kids brain and turn him into a drug addict. It's good wholesome fun for everyone.

Great movie. This is the #1 all time best family/horror flick you can see. When I was in preschool I use to watch this movie all the time. Over, and Over. And I blame this one single movie for my great taste in cheesy, violant, Slasher/or not, horror movies. I'm now starting to wach more and more horror B- movies (anything by Troma team video I highly recommend). But back to the monster squad its all about these kids who are really into the whole idea of monsters and stuff. So, they start this Monster club(Hence the name "monster squad"). But the craziest thing happens, Dracula, Frankienstien, The Mummy, The Wolfman, and a swamp creature, all come back to life. With the help of the school tough guy, Rudy they challenge these classic monsters to the death. FUNNY. 10 OUT OF 10

This movie brings back childhood memories of watching TV all day long during the summer vacation. This movie was, and still is, one of my favorite movies of all times. Just watching it makes me happy. So what if the acting is not top-caliber. It has a great story and the characters are all fun to watch. It is a highly amusing film that you should watch if you've never seen it.
