Young kids form a club that is devoted to monsters, but soon get more than they bargained for when Count Dracula adjourns to Earth, accompanied by Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and the Gillman. The uglies are in search of a powerful amulet that will grant them power to rule the world. Our heroes - the Monster Squad are the only ones daring to stand in their way.
Rating:9/10
This is still an entertaining movie that brings back some great memories. This is a fun movie that the whole family can actually enjoy. The monsters do appear to be a bit corny, but it is cool to have five horror icons battling a bunch of pre teen kids. The kids are all prety good actors especially the two youngest. That actually suprised me. The other thing that suprised me was how funny the jokes were. "Wolfman gots nards!" Hilarious. The effects were actually pretty good for a movie of this caliber, and still looks good today. I'm suprised that this movie is still not that well known as this is what I would consider a monster classic of the eighties.
