Horror’s answer to The Goonies, The Monster Squad follows a bunch of kids in a club based around, you guessed it, Monsters.
Unfortunately for the gang, whilst going about their daily, monster-obsessed, business, Dracula (Duncan Regehr) shows up for the 100th anniversary in which he can use an amulet, read an incantation and cast a shadow of darkness over the world. Not only that but he’s brought his friends along for the ride, The Wolfman, The Mummy, Frankenstein’s monster AKA Frank, even the creature from the black lagoon!
Fortunately for The Monster Squad, the amulet can also banish these evil beings. This movie has all the violence (#wolfmansgotnards), graphic content and bad language you’d generally find in an ’80s horror movie, all the while being carried through the medium of these innocently, hilarious protagonists, get involved.
Available on Amazon Prime.
