Stars:Plot:
You know who to call when you have ghosts, but who do you call about monsters? Whether it's a bat in your belfry or a mummy in your microwave, THE MONSTER SQUAD ain't afraid of no ghouls!

Count Dracula has until midnight to retrieve an ancient amulet that will give him final control over the delicate balance between good and evil in the world. To help him, the creepy count calls on some old friends: the weird Wolfman, grotesque Gill-Man, mildewed Mummy and freaky Frankenstein. As the ghoulish group gets closer to the amulet, it's up to THE MONSTER SQUAD, headquartered in the local tree house, to pool its questionable resources and stop the monster mayhem!

My Thoughts:
This is the 4th time I watched Moster Squad since I bought it almost 3 years ago. It is an old favorite of mine. Always good for a few laughs... the lines "the Wolfman has nards!" and "Well there is Steve but he doesn't count!" gets me laughing every time I watch this movie. I like how they have all the classic monsters in this movie. They made the story fun and interesting at the same time. This movie would make a good introduction for kids that are curios about horror movies. If by chance you never seen this movie I would definitely recommend it to all.

The Good Old Days TV Thread, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts:
I decided to watch the first episode of season 2 today... as I always preferred the episodes that took place in the '70 over those in the first season that took place during World War II. It was a lot of fun watching this episode again. For the most part the effects they use in this show is fine. But I do have to laugh whenever they show the invisible jet from a distance. It is so extremely obvious it is a Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor dolls in a model. But that one minor thing... that is seldomly seen is forgivable.

My Rating:
