The Monster Squad, the ultimate ’80s kids-on-a-mission flick, is about to hit our screens in glorious 4K Blu-ray! It’s been a longer wait than a kid in a candy store line, but Kino Lorber is dropping this gem on November 28th, and it’s going to be epic.
This movie is getting a repackage makeover so fancy, that even Dracula would be envious. They’re pulling out all the stops with a new transfer straight from the original negative, not to mention not one, but two feature-length commentaries. Count ’em – that’s double the fun!
It’s like a Halloween treat bag bursting with goodies. You’ll be treated to a spooky 15 minutes of deleted scenes, a collection of behind-the-scenes documentaries that’ll have you howling with laughter and fear, and a third disc featuring the amazing making-of documentary, ‘Wolfman’s Got Nards.’
The Monster Squad release is nested between Halloween and Christmas, add this to your holiday wish list because it’s going to be a must-have for every horror fan. Treat yourself early before you get on Santa’s naughty list. Get your garlic and silver bullets ready – The Monster Squad is coming to haunt your living room in style!
You know who to call when you have ghosts, but who do you call about monsters? The Monster Squad—a group of young kids devoted to protecting their suburban neighborhood from strange things that go bump in the night. They ain’t afraid of no ghouls!
Count Dracula (Duncan Regehr) escapes Van Helsing (Jack Gwillim) and adjourns to modern-day Earth in search of an ancient amulet that will grant him final control over the delicate balance between good and evil in the world. To help him, the creepy Count calls on some old friends: the weird Wolfman (Carl Thibault), grotesque Gill-Man (Tom Woodruff Jr.), mildewed Mummy (Michael MacKay), and freaky Frankenstein (Tom Noonan). Standing in their way—The Monster Squad!
Produced by Peter Hyams (Running Scared), written by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon) and Fred Dekker (Night of the Creeps), and directed by Dekker, the cult smash Monster Squad makes ghost-busting look like child’s play!
