Monster Squad DVD October 2007!
(Sun 02/18/2007 12:08pm)
Having recently ventured to New Jersey for Monster Mania 7, I was looking forward to my first Horror Convention. Having visited numerous Sci-Fi and Comic book conventions, I thought this would be an interesting departure.
The main lure or hook was that the Monster Squad was going to be there. Now the film has long escaped a re-release on DVD and survives only as a bootleg on EBay or as a battered VHS copy. So with a recent screening in Austin Texas at the Draft House which had a small reunion of the Monster Squad (the kids only) a resurgence of the film began to grow. The creators and planners of Monster Mania stepped it up a notch bringing together many of the kids once again but this time they brought: Dracula (Duncan Regehr), Frankenstein (Tom Noonan), and the Gillman (Tom Woodruff Jr.) to the convention scene.
The first question out of the gate at the Q&A panel was to director Fred Dekker, “When are we going to see a DVD?”, Fred happily responded that Lions Gate has picked up the film and will distribute it with a special edition to be released in October. Fred later informed the extremely crowded room that they were all now being filmed for a special part of the DVD known as the Monster Squad at Monster Mania.
Release dates are not set yet but what an incredible Halloween treat to look forward to. Now a whole new generation of fans that were raised on Harry Potter and the Goosebumps can discover this classic film.
