The Monster Squad OFFICIAL dvd: "It's Coming"

I got out my projector and watched this with the kids tonight. They have never seen this before (it's probably been about 15 years since I last watched it) and they absolutely loved it. The movie still holds up very well. They don't make films like this anymore.

 

I watched this recently for the first time since I was a kid. A great movie from start to finish, and I was especially surprised at all of the non-PC scenes with the kids. One of the best DVD releases of the year.

 

Since nobody replied... :lol:

By the way, little thing I noticed... Am I crazy or is the music in the beginning of the trailer for Monster Squad the same music from Fright Night??

 

I thought the same thing. I really enjoyed watching this. BTW, the music was terrible, but added to the charm. :lol:

 

I thought the very same thing when I watched it. That of course does not mean we aren't both crazy.

I really enjoyed watching it again. It's a great movie with a great dvd. It's nice to wait so long and get a DVD worthy of the movie for a change.

 

I picked it up at Sam's Club for 12.88, best in store price I have seen.

 

I also hadnt watched in many years and still found it great. I wish movies still used the music montage like in this and revenge of the nerds etc....

 

This is one of those films I never saw as a kid. I remember not being interested in it at because it looked "childish". I did like "Night of the Creeps" (only saw it recently) but I'm curious about the cult fever that "The Monster Squad" seems to have inspired. I haven't seen any copies for sale, but I might pick it up if I ever do.

 

For those who still haven't got enough of The Squad:

from www.deadpit.com :

 

did you get a reply back from lions gate? i tried e-mailing them but it wouldn't go through. but if they are sending you one, i will def. keep trying, from another computer or e-mail or something.

 

I finally got around to watching my dvd of this and it's every bit as good as I remembered it.

 

Anybody from Canada who's DVD was missing the insert e-mail Lionsgate about getting another one? I have tried several times and none of my e-mails will go through, so just wondering if anyone ended up getting a replacement and if it's worth it?

 

i have had no luck either

 

...I got it for $1.99 at GAMESTOP in excellent condition with slipcover and insert:banana:

 

There's a store around here that sells everything from DVD's to video games. They had a bunch of Monster Squad DVDs sealed in the package for $7, plus it was buy 2 get one free. Needless to say all my friends own copies on Monster Squad now. I'm guessing they must have fallen off a truck or something.

 

I watched this the other night for the first time in about 12 years!!! And it still holds up, in fact i was almost tearing up by the end when Frankenstein went through the portal.... WTF is happening to me??

 

You were just touched by an honestly tender scene

 

Van Helsing is awesome when he gives that maniacal, Heston-esque thumbs-up at the end as he's been sucked into some black hole, Elysian field of vampire killing. It's the universal hand gesture.

 

Monster Squad is dirt cheap now pretty much everywhere, $7.50-$9. And yet I still haven't bought it.

 

I don't know if you guys know about this, but I think Intrada released the soundtrack album to coincide with the DVD release.

Broughton's score kicks ass, so if you love the music, you can order it at Intrada's official website.
