Monster Squad. I really shouldn't have to say anything else. For those poor unfortunate souls that are not familiar with the movie, I shed a tear. I never thought I would see the day where I could own The Monster Squad on DVD. That day has come, on my birthday even.
It was with some trepidation that I slipped the DVD in the player, pushed play and sat back to view the movie once more. It had been a very long time since I had watched the movie, and I was afraid it would not live up to my wonderful remembrance. I'm glad to report that I needn't have worried. The film is still a great time for the monster lover and kid in me. With hindsight I can now see the great impact this one movie has had on me, my writing in particular and my preference for all things monster related. I have an unfinished movie script (problems with the third act) that I worked on just a couple of years ago and I can see how much of an homage it is to The Monster Squad.
Some people may tell you the effects are somewhat dated, the dialog in parts is silly and the story doesn't make much sense. I say that Dracula drives a black hearse with a silver skull hood ornament, Mummy's in my closet and Wolfman can survive being blown to bits by dynamite.
So, am I in the club or what?
