I rembered this movie when my son and I were looking for movies at the video store and found Goonies. Loved it back then...still good for me but for him it was great just like it was for me back then.

If you remember this movie from your childhood buy the DVD NOW!!!

I am amazed that this two disc set is priced so low. It is worth every penny at this price. If you remember it from your childhood as I do, then it is a priceless movie and at under 10 bucks you just can't beat it! This is everything I wanted in a movie growing up, it was funny, fun, scary, predictable and an all around perfect watch. The monsters are done with prosthetics and makeup and the movie is shot on location and on movie sets. Right before the great filmakers decided to go lazy there were movies like The Monster Squad. That's right, no green screens and CGI here! The disc full of extras is worth more than the price of the movie alone, and watching the actors reminisce and hearing some of the stories like the fact that Liam Neeson was passed over to play Dracula is just awesome! And not to mention how well the DVD was remastered. I remember watching this on HBO a countless number of times, but it never looked this good! Bravo Lion's Gate for putting out this 20th anniversary edition, and if you made it this far reading this review, stop reading and click the round "add to shopping cart" button. This is the best 8 bucks you will spend all week!!!

Absolutely worthless
Added 7/9/2009
I got this movie for my youngest son and I to watch. We like the old Universal monster movies and I thought this would be a nice, modern version for us to enjoy (and finally a monster movie in color!). Boy was I wrong. There are scant few seconds of neat moments when all the major monsters are together, but those moments are surrounded by bad 80's filmmaking at its worst.
This film resides in that 80's neverland world of rude kids, clueless adults, and toilet humor. Like the rest of the world I never saw Monster Squad when it was released but I do remember the ads they played for it with that line about Wolfman's "nards." While lame, I figured they wanted to stay away from actual bad language; wrong again. The only curse word not found in this movie is the dreaded F- - - word. This flick is wall-to-wall filthy language, so right off my son couldn't watch it.
It's not scary at all, although whenever a female vampire dies it's usually bloody. Not one of the kids has any charisma whatsoever and I found myself not caring if they survived or not; kind of like the "adult" horror film teenagers. And why does the amulet spawned vortex that is supposed to eradicate evil suck up anything in its path, even beagles??
People can't claim nostalgia for liking this mess, because as I said, no one saw this thing. This was a great idea but a horrible execution. Too vulgar to be a kids movie, too juvenile for "most" adults, the Monster Squad is absolutely worthless.
