Over the weekend I was scanning our vast 5 channel selection in the studio and came across a jewel of a lost 80's classic, "The Monster Squad". Since I haven't seen this movie in probably 15 years or more it was quite amusing and yes I still knew alot of the dialogue. It's about a group of teenagers who try to stop monsters from invading the modern world (or the 80's). Think monster movie meets the kids of the Goonies. And when I say monsters I mean the classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, the Mummy, and the Sea Creature thing. So with that being said think about if they did invade the modern world can you see Dracula running the blood bank? The Mummy working at the Hospital? The Sea Creature as a main attraction at Sea World? or the Wolfman working at a dog pound? and Frank at a daycare taking care of kids? Interesting thought right? .......Wait I got distracted now back to the movie.The Monster Squad has to stop these creatures from taking over modern civilization by offering up (catch this) a virgin to read an ancioent chant of sorts from the days of Van Helsing..Now if you are looking for any serious content here then you might want to look somewhere else. This movie is lame to the core but funny and entertaining and fairly safe for the family with exception to some language. So if you time to kill and want to relive those cherish moments of the 80's with a lost classic and smile. Then go NETFLIX it and give me your thoughts.
