Update on Monster Squad DVD
(Thu 05/10/2007 08:08pm)
When I ventured to New Jersey for Monster Mania 7 back in February, 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 (The film is now slated for July 24, 2007 and can be preodered all ready on various sites). 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.
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.
