The Monster Squad (1987) - Official DVD

20 Years, it's taken 20 years for this flick to come out on dvd, for those that know nothing, a short synopsis:

quote:

12-year-old Sean Crenshaw and his best friend Patrick are die hard monster fanatics. Along with their friend Horace (nicknamed Fat Kid),junior high tough guy Rudy, Sean's kid sister Phoebe, and little Eugene they come together and talk monsters. But when Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Gill Man, and The Mummy come to their small town to get an amulet to control the world, Sean leads his friends into action to protect their town from the forces of evil.

Many people compare this to the film The Goonies, and rightfully so. A fan of 1980s cheese or just a general fun flick, this is the one to see. I've made it clear how much I love this movie in the past, this review is for the other fans, to see what you get on this official dvd release:

*Beautifully Remastered Sound & Video -- First time ever (even the HDTV aired & ripped, and chinese laserdisc widescreen had the wrong aspect ratio) to be seen in the correct 2.35:1 widescreen format, correctly cropped.

*Original trailer and TV Spot

*Deleted scenes

*Audio commentary with Fred Drekker, Andre Gower, Ryan Lambert and Ashley Bank.

*A brand new cover, the original cover still remains as an insert you can use if you perfer

*An extras disc containing: A rare interview with Tom Noonan still in makeup and acting in character, a five part retrospective with interviews of the cast now looking back on the film.

The dvd itself is stunning, after years of the fans being in direct contact with much of the cast through the internet we were finally about to get the movie shown how it deserves (there plans to be lots of promotion such as screenings around this also, one is definitely being held at Comic-Con in san diego, others are being planned).

I'm extremely biased, and this 2-disc dvd set deserves a 10/10.
They have left out nothing for the fans, Enjoy!
