The Monster Squad

So much nostalgia for this film ..however I first discovered this film back in the mid nineties. Funnily enough it was scrawled onto a label of my friends blank VHS tape which obviously they used to tape from regular TV with old adverts and all lol

Sidenote: one of the adverts was of a Marathon bar before it turned into snickers UK readers will remember the brand change lol

Anyhow I digress.

I was staying over at my friends house and I noticed this name Monster Squad because it sounded so silly and I said we should watch it later. ..obviously hoping it was going to be that type of movie that was ..so bad it was actually good.

Something strange happened we giggled at the premise and the B movie styled monster's but gradually became instantly hooked . If you have not seen this movie and loved The Goonies then you are in for a treat .

80s films have this timeless quality and over time this movie has almost surpassed The Goonies in my opinion.

The Monster's are a B Movie styled but it is intentionally done due to being a family film .

Embrace yourself in a time where it was a innocent time period where we played .. with freedom and adventure with our childhood friends and that feeling is encapsulated here.

Not going to win any awards but it's a cult film and needs to be remembered.
