It is one of the best movies of the 80s in that catagory of Non-John-Hughes. The acting is awkward but it was the 80s... I'm 17 and I first watched it when I was a little kid, it was one of my first favorites, my other being Weekend at Bernie's... I had an interesting childhood.

23 eh? '86 baby perhaps? Me too, and I have been watching this movie since before I can remember...we're an interesting and strange breed...we're the oldest-youngest people to actually have a couple memories in the '80s but we're not '80s kids but we rode around on Big Wheels, carried around Transformers and Cabbage Patch Kids, played house with a My Buddy/Kid Sister, and Glo Worms lit up our crib/big kid bed...what I'm saying is, because we came to the '80s a little late, it's a hit-or-miss with us with movies/tv/music...

Haha like your post lforst... I was born in '85 so I know exactly what you're talking about. I had 3 older siblings so I was able to enjoy many aspects of the 80s including a lot of great movies/TV. The Monster Squad was one of my many favorites. Freaked out when I saw the DVD because I hadn't seen it in a while. It's great to reminisce with childhood memories.
shareI'm 26 and never heard of this movie until this year, until I saw something about online nonetheless. I've seen The Goonies a ton myself and this was pretty good too, but Goonies 4 life for me.
Central to Unit 27. Jean-Claude Van Damme's robbing a post office. I need back-up.
25 here, 1984. Huge fan of 80's movies but I had never heard of or seen this movie until about 1 year ago when I caught the last 15 minutes of it on tv. I still want to see the whole thing through. I may just buy it on blu.
shareIt's freakin' awesome as a kid's movie/adventure and I haven't seen it in ages but I remember it well. Plus, it tickled me that the bad guy playing Dracula also played the good guy Zorro in the Zorro series from the same time.
Sokka: My first girlfriend turned into the moon.
Zuko: That's rough, buddy.
Hope you enjoyed Monster Squad change your life lol.. Atleast the last song at the end...

The Monster Squad is a comedy/horror film written by Shane Black and Nicholas Hill and directed by Fred Dekker (who also wrote/directed Night of the Creeps). It was released by Tri-Star Pictures on August 14, 1987. The film features the classic monsters (re-imagined by a team of special effects artists including Stan Winston), led by Dracula (Duncan Regehr).
A 20th Anniversary Reunion of The Monster Squad was held with cast members and Director Fred Dekker in attendance in April 2006 in Austin, Texas at the Alamo Drafthouse. This reunion was put together by the staff at Ain't It Cool News, who were longtime fans of the film and on a whim decided to reach out and try to connect the cast for a special screening. Two shows were held at the theatre; both sold out with lines formed around the block; some audience members flew from as far as California to watch the film. It was at this screening that Dekker had urged any interested fans to write the copyright holders via snail-mail.[1]. Ain't It Cool News also broke the news of the DVD release in January, 2007. Michael Felsher of Red Shirt Pictures approached Lionsgate Studios to produce and release the 20th anniversary edition.
I'm 24 and I grew up on this movie...how have you never seen it?! You must see it immediately, it's a classic
shareI'm 28 and I had this on VHS and I would watch it at least 3 times a week.
