Fans of The Monster Squad will be delighted with the treatment it has received on this double-disc set from Lionsgate. The film benefits from a crisp anamorphic transfer that shows off the film's carefully-lensed scope photography in all its multitextured glory. The lovely transfer is complemented by a strong audio presence, with the film presented in both 2.0 and 5.1 stereo sound mixes. Those with a good stereo system will want to opt for the latter as it adds extra heft to the music and some key sound effects. This set also includes a barrage of extras created with the hardcore fan in mind. The first disc contains two commentary tracks, the first pairing director Fred Dekker with actors Andre Gower, Ryan Lambert, and Ashley Bank and the second pairing Dekker with cinematographer Bradford May. The first track is more lighthearted and the second track is more technical in nature but both are worth a listen for fans and offer plenty of interesting anecdotes about the shoot. The fun continues on the second disc, which offers deleted scenes, trailers, an extensive image gallery, an amusing on-set interview with actor Tom Noonan staying in character as Frankenstein and an animated storyboard feature depicting the Squad's battle with the Mummy. However, the true centerpiece of the second disc is "Monster Squad Forever," an 88-minute documentary produced by Michael Felsher for this set. It covers all angles of the film from conception to reception via interviews with several cast and crew members and is an entertaining, well-assembled piece of work. Simply put, the combination of an excellent transfer and copious, lovingly-crafted extras makes this special edition of The Monster Squad a must for fans of the film and anyone who enjoys classic horror (especially that of the 1980's variety).

This movie was good for the time it was created in. The acting in the movie was outstanding and incredible, and the costumes that the monsters were in were very believeable, and I think the whole movie, including the costumes were ahead of it's time.
I would recommend this to a friend!
