“Kick him in the nards, kick him in the nards!” “He doesn’t have any!” “DO IT! DO IT!” “Wolfman’s got nards!”…. One of the best dialogues from a classic I grew up with. And in case you have not seen this movie, I am talking about Monster Squad. OMG what a fun wonderful edge-of-your-seat movie. It had just the right amount of spook and fun so you could watch it as a kid and not feel like you were going to get nightmares for a week. Scenes that made you laugh hard and others that had you covering your eyes…. Yes, this was a great kid monster movie.
And now they are talking about a sequel…. *EEEEEEK!!!* I will be ready to watch this. I just hope they don’t ruin it by super sizing the special effects and making it scarier and less fun. Jason Black who co-wrote the original (which came out in 1987) is thinking that a sequel 30 years later could be good. The kids from the first movie all grown up, with kids of their own, and facing the horrors again.
Black goes on to say that the original movie wasn’t even that big of a deal when it first came out. In fact it plunged in the box office department until years later. He had no idea it became a big deal when it did. The original movie has a group of kiddos who are up against some of the most popular monsters known to man kind. They are the only ones who can defeat them and are all earth has…. (love the 80s)
If you have not seen this, I suggest you get out there and do so. The sequel is not going to make any sense if you don’t. Plus dude come on, it’s Monster Squad, an 80s classic, just like the Explorers, Stand By Me, The Goonies, and others. I may have to re-watch this again today… ^_^
