The Monster Squad (1987)
from Everything Actioncast Hosted by Zach Sheets
This week on the Everything Actioncast, with The Bride! hitting theaters and bringing some of the classic monsters into the 1930s, Zach and Chris discuss 1987's The Monster Squad, which brought the likes of Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster into the 80s. Directed by Fred Dekker and written by Dekker and Shane Black, The Monster Squad sees a group of kids obsessed with monster movies having to take on monsters for real when Dracula (Duncan Regehr) arrives in their town looking to destroy a magical amulet that would shift the balance of the world to evil and let him and his fellow monsters rule. Zach and Chris discuss the awesome, legally distinct Stan Winston creature designs, the late Tom Noonan's heartwarming portrayal of Frankenstein's Monster, how Rudy (Ryan Lambert) is doing 90% of the work for the Squad, the fantastic Michael Sembello soundtrack songs, and more. You can watch The Monster Squad on Prime Video or on YouTube for free. Next week, we're making an Executive Decision and talking about the 90s action thriller for its 30th anniversary.
