Why don't they make movies like this anymore? Moster Squad is one of my all time favs and I still watch it once every couple of months. In the 80's there were so many more entertaining films - Monster Squad, Weird Science, even My Science Project. Even crap like Misfits of Science was fun, if technically piss poor in the FX, acting, plot department "Amelia!!!" Anyway, all awesome and fun films. |

I remember wanting to rent this when I was a kid but my dad said it might be too scary, and I remember thinking "when I have kids i'm going to let them do what they want."  Thanks for the recovered memory and awesome piece Mockery. |

That Sony clearly doesn't know what he/she is talking about. Monster Squad was a 1987 TriStar (Tri-Star) release) and that company is now owned by Sony Pictures. It's probably just not in their catalog of planned releases so they sent you a generic form letter. Still, there's more that can be done if Sony is ignoring the requests... You can apparently also send letters to Viacom via snail mail at: Mr. Sumner M. Redstone Viacom 1515 Broadway New York, NY 10036 AND/OR email them at: nonmanagementdirectors@viacom.com Please help and make your voice heard so we can get this movie finally released on DVD. |

Off the record and back on topic, I had an opportunity to buy the Monster Squad on VHS for three bucks a year ago, and I passed.

| MarioRPG | After seeing the review I agree that it should be on DVD. | |

That movie was the top of the list of reasons I wanted to work at Stan Winston's. I totally agree, best Creature from the Black Lagoon design. And the dude IN the suit went on to start his own FX company... bringing you such crap as the Alien dog (which is that, Alien 3?) and the Green Goblin. Ah, Mr. Woodruff... the FX equivilent of an actor deciding he wants to direct. I hope the petitioning effort pans out - it would be great to have it on DVD. When I had to track down a copy of the video for work it took over a week to find a copy that wasn't used. That should tell them something... |

Aye I remember this one fondly, I bought it from a garage sale back when I was like 9. I watched my old VHS copy to death. Great piece! |

| zeldasbiggestfan | I think I found a typo. "Instead, the amulet opens up a big swirling black vortex and before the girl is able to finish reading the passage which would presumably saving mankind, she gets sucked into the vortex" should be "Instead, the amulet opens up a big swirling black vortex and before the girl is able to finish reading the passage which would presumably save mankind, she gets sucked into the vortex." | |

This was a great movie to watch when you where 8. I seemed to have miss-remembered some parts of it though. Like, somehow I believed it was the wolfman, not entirely dead, but un-cursed, who wrestled with Dracula into the vortex. Well... again, I blame my age. This needs to be on DVD. |

NEW FEATURE: "THE MONSTER SQUAD!" Here's my biggest movie feature in quite a while; The Monster Squad is one of those forgotten 80's gems that everybody needs to see. It's simply great on so many levels that your life will be incomplete until you watch it. The movie features all of your favorite classic Universal monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Mummy. And they go head to head with a group of kids that give the Goonies a serious run for their money. I also included an extremely hard to find Monster Squad bonus at the end of the tribute. BOGUS!  NEW FEATURE: "THE MONSTER SQUAD!" http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/monster-squad Enjoy! |
