The Monster Squad Finally Comes To 4K Blu-ray In November

Finally, after years of waiting, The Monster Squad is coming to 4K Blu-ray and it is a loaded release. It will come out in November.

The Monster Squad is the best group-of-kids-adventure film of the '80s, and for years now, we have been waiting for a 4K Blu-ray release. Finally, Kino Lorber will release it on November 28th. The film gets a brand new transfer straight from the original negative and will feature two feature-length commentaries. What's more, there are many special features, including 15 minutes of deleted scenes, a bunch of making of docs, and a third disc with the awesome making-of doc Wolfman's Got Nards. Below, you can see the cover for the release and the complete list of features on what is sure to be a disc on every horror fan's holiday gift list.

The Monster Squad Is Better Than Goonies. I Said What I Said.

You know who to call when you have ghosts, but who do you call about monsters? The Monster Squad—a group of young kids devoted to protecting their suburban neighborhood from strange things that go bump in the night. They ain't afraid of no ghouls! Count Dracula (Duncan Regehr) escapes Van Helsing (Jack Gwillim) and adjourns to modern-day Earth in search of an ancient amulet that will grant him final control over the delicate balance between good and evil in the world. To help him, the creepy Count calls on some old friends: the weird Wolfman (Carl Thibault), grotesque Gill-Man (Tom Woodruff Jr.), mildewed Mummy (Michael MacKay), and freaky Frankenstein (Tom Noonan). Standing in their way—The Monster Squad! Produced by Peter Hyams (Running Scared), written by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon) and Fred Dekker (Night of the Creeps), and directed by Dekker, the cult smash Monster Squad makes ghost-busting look like child's play!
