Thanks for finally giving us Monster Squad fans something to cheer about. I can't recommend the disc highly enough. And The Monster Squad is still just as fun today as it was when you were a kid. As Fred Dekker also says in his excellent little insert essay, Wolfman does, indeed, still have nards. If you've been waiting since 1998, when you picked up your first DVD player, to find out if Wolfman's still got nards, well you'll have your answer pretty much as soon as you open the case. So you want me to bottom line it for you? You want to know if The Monster Squad: Two-Disc 20th Anniversary Edition is not only worth picking up on DVD but worth all the year's of waiting? My answer for you is a resounding YES. And, really, what more could you ask for from a film? It's a mix of so many things genre fans love with a little bit of heart, and a whole lot of nostalgia. It's pure '80s entertainment at its very best. People have called it the 'poor-man's Goonies,' but I think it's so much more than that. The Monster Squad is one of those films that my sister and I watched over and over until we wore out the VHS tape. I could sit and tell you about the plot of the film (but chances are you already know it), about how fun, funny, silly, hilarious, classic, etc, etc the film is (but chances are you've already heard it), about how many times I watched it as a kid (but you probably did too), and how much it means to finally have it on DVD (but you, more likely than not, feel the same way). If you're a fan of The Monster Squad from way back (like me), you're going to have a great time just wading through the second disc of this DVD set.

We have a few deleted scenes, animated storyboards, the original theatrical trailer and TV spot, and A Conversation with Frankenstein. The hour-and-a-half long documentary is the real prize here, but there's so much quality material here to dig into, any Monster Squad will be in genre bliss. Not only does he appear in both commentary tracks (which are engaging, informative, and a heck of a lot of fun), but he also takes part in the feature-length five-part retrospective documentary Monster Squad Forever!, and even writes a poignant little insert for the DVD.

It's clear that Writer/Director Fred Dekker has had a hand in the proceedings because he's all over this disc. Not to mention the well-balanced and engaging Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track (yes, the original stereo audio is included as well for the purists).Р”В«ut what really makes The Monster Squad: Two-Disc 20th Anniversary Edition a must-have DVD are the excellent special features. But it easily surpasses every previous transfer you may have seen. We're talking about a fairly low-budget, 20-year-old film here so reference quality this disc is not. Not only do we finally get to see the film in its 2.35:1 widescreen glory, but it's also the best the film has ever looked in my opinion. I know everyone's all upset that Lionsgate didn't use the original cover art for the DVD, but if you put that fact aside for a moment, you can see just how excellent this little package really is. Sure, it may not be the perfect disc that every fan has been begging to have since 1998, but it's pretty darn close (and probably the most complete disc on the film you're ever likely to see). The Monster Squad: Two-Disc 20th Anniversary Edition is, without a doubt, worth all the years of waiting. While Francis Rizzo III should have a more complete look at the long-awaited disc, and its contents, up on the site soon, I wanted to give everyone a little taste of what they can expect from one of most requested DVDs of all time. If you've been keeping up with the DVD Stalk Blog, you know that this past weekend we finally got a copy of The Monster Squad: Two-Disc 20th Anniversary Edition DVD in our hands and we even did a couple fun, unboxing videos (which you can also see below).

Horror fans everywhere have been waiting for this for a VERY long time. THE MONSTER SQUAD: TWO-DISC 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION DVD.
