in the Interview he says they hope to release a blu-ray of Monster Squad and he mentions deleted scenes they missed and a crazy idea they have that will be exclusive to the blu-ray release

sounds awesome, I loved Monster Squad.

lnh_boy · 03-08-2009, 12:53 AM

I would re-purchase this title, especially if they can do the exclusives they mentioned in the video.

Did Monster Squad sell well on DVD?

GGX · 03-08-2009, 01:10 AM

I've never seen this movie. What is it about?

lnh_boy · 03-08-2009, 01:11 AM

80s flick.... think Goonies meet the Universal monsters. Kids v. Dracula, Wolf Man, "Gill Man" with help from Van Helsing and Frankenstein's monster.

Consideirng how long the movie was begged and pleaded for... I can't imagine that it sold badly on DVD.

Yeah, if you didn't grow up with it... it probably isn't quite as magical an experience.

"Wolfman's got nards!!"

deadhatetheliving · 03-08-2009, 01:21 AM

Don't forget the Mummy.

Fun flick. I have it on DVD and would love to upgrade.

I DID grow up with it (at least saw it in theaters the week it opened), and it wasn't a magical experience.

But, like just about any sci-fantasy film from '81-'87, gets a little too much nostalgia from showing up the right time...And frankly, I wasn't that impressed with the Goonies, either.

(And the interview doesn't say there WILL be a Blu, AFAIK--any director can hope for one--but at least Squad's owned by MGM now, unlike its years of bootleg-weasel exile...
Which is more than we can say for "Night of the Creeps".)

I'd much rather have a blu of NIGHT OF THE CREEPS!!

My bad. I also forgot about the brides of Dracula.

Sounds good to me. At least you can get Monster Squad on DVD.

paperthrower2000 · 03-08-2009, 01:17 PM

Gotta love the 80's

Batman1980 · 03-08-2009, 03:27 PM

LOL I barely remember the 80s but I think this movie is classic and campy enough to justify a purchase at some point, just not for more than $20.

md99 · 03-08-2009, 03:48 PM

Fun at the time but Jesus, I'd be so embarrassed to even admit now that I had watched it.

Remember the bit, a dumb kid writes a letter in Crayon asking the armed forces to show up in his town to kill monsters, and lo and behold they did!

I think the arrival of the armed forces had more to do with the city being destroyed than a kid writing a letter in crayon.
