Published

on

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:

Capture

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?

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

Duncan Regehar further proves his great performance as Dracula by terrifying innocent little Pheobe.

Two words: Wolf. Dork.

Yup.

‘Nuff said.

How Does the Dog Get Up Here?

CaptureAfter 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!

‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3’ Is a Go with Enhanced Budget and New Characters

Published

on

Winnie the Pooh 3

Wow, they’re churning things out fast! The upcoming sequel “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3” is officially moving forward, promising an expanded narrative with a larger budget and the introduction of beloved characters from A.A. Milne’s original tales. As confirmed by Variety, the third installment in the horror franchise will welcome Rabbit, the heffalumps, and the woozles into its dark and twisted narrative.

This sequel is a part of an ambitious cinematic universe that reimagines children’s stories as horror tales. Alongside “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and its first sequel, the universe includes films such as “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”, “Bambi: The Reckoning,” and “Pinocchio Unstrung”. These movies are set to converge in the crossover event “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,” slated for a 2025 release.

Winnie the Pooh Poohniverse

The creation of these films was made possible when A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book “Winnie-the-Pooh” entered the public domain last year, allowing filmmakers to explore these cherished characters in unprecedented ways. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Jeffrey Chambers, of Jagged Edge Productions, have led the charge in this innovative endeavor.

The inclusion of Rabbit, heffalumps, and woozles in the upcoming sequel introduces a new layer to the franchise. In Milne’s original stories, heffalumps are imagined creatures resembling elephants, while woozles are known for their weasel-like characteristics and a penchant for stealing honey. Their roles in the narrative remain to be seen, but their addition promises to enrich the horror universe with deeper connections to the source material.
