"Unbridled fun for every kid who ever daydreamed about kicking monster ass." - Kieth Breese, filmcritic.com
The Monster Squad is an '80s classic that should be traditionally watched every Halloween. It's basically The Goonies meets 1950's horror, what's not to love about that? There's rumors about a remake but I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't happen.
Sean and Patrick are best friends. The reason they are so close is because they share one thing in common; monsters. They enjoy the subject so much they have meetings with their friends in their club house. Little do they know Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Gill Man, and The Wolf Man are coming to their town to receive and amulet to control the world. Sean and his gang team up to battle the forces of evil and protect their small town.
ROTTEN TOMATOES RATING: 53%
The Monster Squad may not have done well in the box office or among most critics, but it certainly has a cult following. Pretty much anyone who was born before 1990 or appreciates the horror genre will have a good time with this movie. Monsters, a decent old school horror soundtrack, and fall weather is a great combination for Wednesday October night.
