The Monster Squad(1987) - "My Name....Is Horace!"
A few people have described it as "The Goonies Meet The Universal Monsters." A young boy(Andre Gower) and his friends have to save their small town, and the world, when it is overrun by Dracula and his gang og fiends - Wolfman, The Mummy, Creature From The Black Lagoon, and Frankenstein. It was directed by Fred Dekker, who also directed "Night Of The Creeps", another 80's cult classic. Like The Goonies, I thought The Monster Squad had a bit more of an edge, with some surprising kiddie talk, for a family adventure film. That's one of the reasons I, and so many others, liked it. Lol. It was a fun and entertaining film that didn't get the justice it deserved at the box office, but soon made up for it on video and now, thankfully, on DVD.

I know Im glad they release the dvd as well. I like the scene where Frankenstein sees the little girl and later on, she shows him to the boys and they freak out.

The sneakers scene was gross where they tried to get the big kid to eat the candy bar from the ground but than the bully eats it instead.

Such a great movie. Sadly, it's getting the remake treatment from Michael Bay's production company, who have done the remakes for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, Friday The 13th, and the upcoming Elm Street re-make. Make it stop!.
I've spruced up the first post a little. Added another picture and the trailer. I plan to do more. __________________

The producers of the remake, the same ones behind the Elm Street re-boot, are already talking about possibly changing and having different monsters in the remake. My headaches are beginning to manifest. Lol.

I honestly had never even heard of this one until I saw the dvd and bought it on impulse. It was a good purchase.
