Monster Squad

Pros: Fun, entertaining monster movie.
Cons: Little corny at times.

Over the years, I have come to appreciate several older monster movies that I hope to eventually pick up on DVD. I have also started to watch more new monster movies as well with some of them being more entertaining than others. I recently read some ...

Pros: The film is just plain fun
Cons: It may not appeal as much to older (or humorless) audiences

I've got to count 1987's The Monster Squad as one of the movies that in some way epitomized my childhood.  At the time this film came out, I was a big fan of the endless stream of monster flicks that screened weekly on late-night cable, and ...

Pros:

A reasonably fun B-grade monster mash/juvenile fantasy given a deluxe DVD package.

Cons:

The movie has elements that seal its PG-13 rating and make it feel rather derivative.

As I'm writing up the latest in a string of horror movie reviews, eventually facing a five-day deadline to compose as many as I possibly can, I've been basically revisiting my childhood VHS library for inspiration. Every title thus far with the ...

Pros: Special effects by Stan Winston, good acting, good action.
Cons: None.

The Monster Squad by Fred Decker was a delightful romp through memory lane at least it is for me and other cult fans. It’s a great rarely talked about 1987 horror film that features four of the greatest horror beings from Universal Pictures: ...

Pros: The actors playing Dracula and the Frankenstein's Monster, the kids, the story
Cons: Some back stories for the various plot holes would have helped.

As a 80s child living in a house with both his mother and his grandparents, I grew up appreciating the Universal Studios horror creatures of the 30s and 40s. The Frankenstein Monster was always my favorite. I think because somehow I always understood ...

Pros: Almost bloodless and gore-free, some imaginative scenes.
Cons: Tame, slow at times, not geared for adults.

The title to my review is one of the most memorable things anyone has ever said to me. When I went to see "The Monster Squad" in the theater, back in 1987, I had just turned 30 years old. As I walked into the theater just after getting...

Pros: fun characters,funky story
Cons: not too many know about it

This is truly one of my favorite movies. While considered to be rare and unknown to most this movie is a lot of fun. The movie centers around a story about the forces of evil trying to take over the world. Every 100 years this battle culminates and the...

Pros: Scary and gory (even for PG-13), funny and the story keeps you intrigued
Cons: VERY '80'S!

I have loved the Monster Squad ever since I was young. I recently watched it after not seeing it for more than 10 years. I was afraid that it would not be as great now because it was an "'80's" movie and some movies are only meant to be seen in a...

Pros: Great for the whole family
Cons: none

.This is the cutest monster movie I've seen in a long time. The good part about it is it doesn't compromise its scariness for the cuteness. It has all the monsters that we grew up afraid of. Dracula, wolf man, the mummy and more. Seeing these guys in...

Pros: This movie is fun, different, and kids will love it.
Cons: The only con about this movie was the the girl in her bra.

I absolutely loved this movie when I was younger. I first saw it when I was 12. It is a very funny movie. Some parts were a tish scary, but otherwise very good. The basic gist of the movie is a bunch of kids have this "Monster Squad because they are...
