The Monster Squad is a 1987 American horror comedy film directed by Fred Dekker, and written by Dekker and Shane Black. Peter Hyams and Rob Cohen served as executive producers. It was released by TriStar Pictures on August 14, 1987. The film features pastiches of the Universal Monsters, led by Count Dracula. They are confronted by a group of savvy kids out to keep them from controlling the world. While being financially unsuccessful during its theatrical run and receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has gained a positive reception from audiences and has become a cult classic in the years since its release.

This film was huge among kids here in Brazil since aired on tv in the begining of the 90's. PS: Jason Harvey from The Wonder Years as a bully....

Happy Halloween everyone! Halloween is my favorite holiday. My grandpa lived a few doors down from the police station, which he used to be an officer. He had a huge house by the lake and would dress the house up every year for Halloween. Many many years later, my grandparents lost their house due to house loan that was really bad, while going through the house for them, found a bunch of old candy from the 80s in a back passage way leading to the upstairs. Some of it was still good lol.

@@workedfortheciawhenisoldrock My grandpa also dressed up as the Mall Santa as well. He was a very well known member of the community and owned an auto shop. He helped take care of families that didnt have alot of money to make sure their vehicles were on the road. Used to be a police officer prior to being a mechanic. He was a great guy.

Thank you for doing this. This is my favorite movie. I saw it in the theater twice in 1987 at the Plaza Theatre on Lyons Ave five minutes from the Stevenson Ranch location of the treehouse. It took me decades to realize it was that close to me but I always rode my bike through the streets and thought the trees sure did seem similar. Thank you so much for this detailed location scout. You are truly in the GD club!

@chrisharjo3875 7 ай бұрын

I remember those '80s fashions because I wore them. The acid washed jeans and Reebok Classics. That one kid wearing loafers is based on a James Dean photo where he has loafers on. I think Elvis Presley and other stars wore them too, and they were cool in the 1950s. By the '80s, though, only preppy dorks wore them. I didn't see this movie until I was an adult, but I rented it one night and found it entertaining. Some people absolutely adore it, and think it's better than Citizen Kane.

Monster Squad is just the best. It was Goonies for the adults. Probably the baddest and most merciless portrayal of Dracula in a film.

I just picked up on DVD for like eight dollars to watch over Halloween weekend with my kids but they want to watch the stupid five nights at Freddy movie instead, so I’m gonna make them watch it this coming weekend. And then I’m gonna make them watch this video

It’s amazing the things you see when watching old movies. At 13:45, that grill is an early Weber grill from the 50s or early 60s. Back when this movie was filmed it was just an old grill that became a movie prop, but today, that’s a collectors item with a value in the hundreds! There’s such a thing as Weber Kettle clubs around the world and at first glimpse I knew what that was.

🎉🎉😂 Thx my dude this is excellent, and YeS one of my more than favorite movies as an 70's/80's kid. I have this movie on several platforms, and I was basically the same age as the actors in the movie were when it hit the theaters back in da day. All the fun documentaries style shizz is what I am into as well plus more! Yeah the deleted scenes for this movie, the Goonies, an Gremlins are very 'eye popping' as well if y'all catch my drift. ha!. All these sites, landmarks, and 'explainers' of sorts are a big kick brotha! ..And yes everyone an all the other Biz bros skateboarded back in the day an still do. I didn't grow up in Cali so these are all a great experience for me keep up all the rad work! Longtime channel supporter. #bewell Rock'on ~DDJ.
