Best Moments From The Monster Squad
28 years ago, Fred Dekker and Shane Black brought us on the adventure of a life time as a group of kids took on Dracula, The Mummy, Gill Man, Wolf Man, and Frankenstein’s monster to stop them from destroying the world. And they did this without infringing on Universal’s copyright of their imagery. The Monster Squad went on to become a beloved cult classic, capturing the innocence of childhood, the love of scary monsters, great make-up design by Stan Winston, and one-liners galore. To celebrate one of our favorite films being put on Netflix, we are picking some of the best moments in this classic. So grab your stakes, your silver bullets, and head to the clubhouse as we celebrate THE MONSTER SQUAD!!
Helsing Blew It:
This sets the tone of the film perfectly with three words.
Wolfman’s got nards:
Probably the most iconic line from the film, this scene perfectly captures the humor of the film.
Creature Stole my Twinkie:
Eugene is my favorite character in the entire film. Every time he shows up he steals the scene. This is his best line
Monster in the closet:
What would a film about children facing incredible be without adults who use sarcasm to convey how much they don’t believe the kids?
Dracula blowing up the clubhouse

This is one of the best version of Dracula on screen. He is terrifying, badass as all hell, and not afraid to use dynamite.
Dracula Calls Phoebe A Bitch

Duncan Regehar further proves his great performance as Dracula by terrifying innocent little Pheobe.
Two words: Wolf. Dork.
‘Nuff said.
How Does the Dog Get Up Here?
After a great declaration of the group being The Monster Squad and an all hands in Rudy asks the burning question “How does the dog get up here?”
MONTAGE!

I am pretty sure there was a law in the 80’s that required montages in every film. Outside of the Rocky films, this has to be one of the best. ROCK UNTIL YOU DROP!
Rudy Is In the club now.
Rudy is the ultimate cool, and what better proof than in the final battle when he does to confront Dracula’s brides stating “I’m in the goddamn club aren’t I?” Rudy is so cool.
My name is horace.
Fat kid ups the awesomeness when he takes on Gill Man giving us one of the most bad ass moments in the film.
Thumbs Up:
There is no higher form of approval for monster fight group than the approval of the legendary Abraham Van Helsing himself.
Now Sing it with me!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed
Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.
This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.
The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.
The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.
Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.
Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
