“The Monster Squad: Who You Gonna Call?” It’s a 4K delight.

We know who to call when we have ghosts but what about monsters. Who you gonna call? The Monster Squad of course. Rats, bats and things that go bump in the night … ancient figures wrapped in cloth and creatures from the depths. It’s their specialty.

Things to expect lots of humor and it offsets those bone chilling scares, there quite a few…. remember Wolfman’s got nards!!!! Hearses driving through police cars, Vampire brides, special effects by the great Stan Winston, matte shots… and yes no digital-all practical effects with amazing sets. A script and story by Shane Black & Fred Dekker. Add in Fred as director.

Above- Monsters are not real-we don’t know that sir…. you tell them Sean.

A goofy principle who says I dig monsters, but science is real…. a cat-like teacher, a bully courtesy of actor Jason Hervey (Wonder Years) and my favorite the clubhouse-where the Monster Club hangs out with the latest issue of Famous Monsters ****I was an avid reader-sometimes riding miles to get my latest copy****. No girls allowed…sorry Phoebes.

The opening oh about 100 years ago. From circa ‘80s.
