FINALLY!!! .......2007-07-04

I can't thank Lionsgate and the cast and crew enough for bringing back my favorite childhood movie. This movie has so much character!! I bought the VHS a few years ago on ebay but was disappointed with the conditon it was in. Now I can't wait to get my hands on the 20th anniversary edition. yippie!!!

AND GREAT MUSIC !!!.......2007-07-03

Yes, this is a great fun picture, but the added extra is the bombastic and emtionally-charged orchestral score composed and conducted by Bruce Broughton (Silverado, Young Sherlock Holmes, etc.). Can't wait to hear it finally on DVD.

Monster Squad Has Nards!.......2007-06-30

When I look back on the decade that I grew up in {The 1980s} afew things come to mind.Bad Hair Styles and Great Movies.
I know most people who think of 80s movies usually think E.T.,Gremlins,Ghost Busters,Back to Future,John Hughes and Nightmare on Elm Street.Myself being one of them...but ontop of all those I think MONSTER SQUAD!!
The MS came out when I was 12 years old {pretty much the same age as the squad themselves} and it instantly became apart of my childhood that I will always cherish.The film just has Movie Magic,it has memorable kids,funny lines,good special effects and all the classic universal monsters,what more could a kid ask for in a fun adventure movie.
Its too bad this movie never got the respect that the goonies got,it does have its core audience though,but I rarely hear anybody say MS is one of there favorite 80s films.
Welp since I never hear it Im here to say it:THE MONSTER SQUAD IS NOT ONLY ONE OF MY FAVORTIE 80S FILMS,ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS EVER AND this DvD is a blessing.TMS Kicks alot of Monster Butt!!

Easily one of my favorite movies...finally on DVD! "My name...is Horace!".......2007-06-28

Everybody has favorite movies from their childhood. I grew up in the 80s (was born right in 1980 to be exact), and that decade produced some of the best pop culture phenomenons of all time. The Monster Squad is a rare, often completely overlooked gem from that decade which, to those who have seen it, is just as wonderful as the more "popular" Goonies, Ghostbusters, and Gremlins (to name a few) movies. Simply stated, I adore this film.

The film holds up remarkably well: it's funny because it's well-written, not because it's corny and dated. The kid stars, none of whom are really famous now, were all excellent and deliver their lines with great comic timing. This is not a "so bad it's good" type of movie: this is the real deal; genuinely funny, scary, and complete with excellent makeup effects by Stan Winston. I also love this movie because not everyone's seen it, like some of the aforementioned 80s films, and it's great to be able to recommend a film from this time period that a large cult following considers a classic to friends.

I have a VHS tape of THe Monster Squad (a prized possession), purchased probably in 1988 or 89, and the video is extremely faded from countless multiple viewings. In fact, it may be my single
"most watched" movie, and I can quote it almost line by line.

I don't remember ever seeing any behind the scenes specials on the film, so I'm looking forward to those the most, not to mention a remastered digital version of the greatest "kids vs. monsters" movie of all time!

"It's a spider, with a human head. It eats dogs, and cats...and rabbits..."

So many quotes, so little time. Go out, find your "Stephen King Rules" shirt, make sure there's no Mummy in your closet, guard your twinkie from the Creature, and watch The Monster Squad on July 24th. You will NOT be disappointed.

"Frankenstein's my friend!".......2007-06-28

I am SO excited that this movie is being rereleased! It was hands down my favorite childhood movie. My brother and I rented it every chance we got from about the age of 8 to 13. Since it's a movie about kids fighting and defeating monsters, it really is a kid's movie - not at all scary. Other reviewers have given a description of the movie, so I'm just going to say that it is a fun, exciting movie that makes kids the heros! Every kid loves that kind of movie!

The hit Broadway musical by Peter Stone and Sherman Edwards became the basis for this 1972 film about America's first congress and the nation's declaration of independence from Britain. Most of the original cast members are aboard, including William Daniels as John Adams. The film is a little stodgy and moves stiffly from scene to scene--the adaptation to the screen is not a smooth success. But it is nonetheless captivating, considering that so few films have dealt directly with America's birth. Directed by Peter H. Hunt. --Tom Keogh

Great Movie to share with your preteen children near July 4th.......2007-06-24

This is one of my favorite musicals, which was unavailable on VHS for many years. I remember seeing this movie in Philadelphia during a class trip with my 6th grade class in June 1976, during the bicential celebration. It is a wonderful movie for young and old, a great movie to share with your older children around July 4th so that they can appreciate Independence Day and the struggles of our Founding Fathers to vote for Independence~
