What is it about this misfit monster film that gets misfit Monster Kids eager to join the Monster Squad? Grab your stakes, silver bullets, and some dynamite, just to be safe, because it’s time to chow down on some garlic-covered pizza and hunt for the amulet that is… The Monster Squad! Fast food: 1. The story of The Monster Squad is overwhelmingly one of misfit Monster Kids who discover the film either on their own or via fellow misfit Monster Kids and take it upon themselves to continue the tradition and induct others into the club… That sounds familiar… I’ve pulled out my DVD to show friends and family, I’ve brought friends to screenings, I lent my DVD to my friend, Dean, who texted me while he watched it for the first time to call out things he enjoyed, I watched it virtually with another friend when the COVID-19 pandemic kept us apart, and, of course, here I am writing about it… for the second time. I’ve definitely done my part since my own discovery of the film through my interest in Svengoolie and resulting interest in the Universal Monsters. Maybe a friend or family member showed it to them on TV, VHS, DVD, or even on the big screen at a special screening. The Monster Squad (1987) falls under that odd category of “hidden film people love.” Out of the many stories I’ve encountered of people who’ve seen this movie, the ones I recall describe seeing it after its theatrical release.

Sean Crenshaw, the leader of “The Monster Squad,” once said I’m… well, I’ll let you read it…īefore we get started, The Monster Squad is available to stream for free (and legally!) on Pluto TV, IMDb TV, and Crackle! Yes, he was joking (I’m pretty sure), but for anyone who doubts my credentials here, André Gower, a.k.a. I’ll never forget riding a train long ago wearing my “Monster Squad” baseball cap and having a grown man stop me and yell, “Hey! You’re too young to know that movie!”
