Only Duncan Regehr (syndicated TV's Zorro) as the truly and unrelentingly evil Dracula is worth mentioning. This movie closely follows the the myths and folklore of popular monsters (only wooden stakes and garlic are effective on vampires even dynamite cannot stop the silver-prone werewolf etc.) The acting is somewhat lacking, but this is a kid's Saturday night drive-in type movie. The SFX are spectacular, and the make-up and costuming are very well-made.

Dracula has returned, and has re-animated Frankenstein's monster, and brought along a innocent, but tortured werewolf, the frightening, Creature of the Black Lagoon-esque Gill-Man, and a 2000-year old Mummy. Abraham Van Helsing (Dutch, not German, but forgivable). A group of young boys unearth an evil secret within the diary of vampire hunter, Dr. The Monster Squad is a terrific re-telling of the House of Frankenstein, set in the late 80s. Title (Brazil): 'Deu a Louca nos Monstros' ('The Monsters Have Gone Crazy') Note: On 24 July 2016, I saw this film again. There is a touching moment when the Scary German Guy tells to the kids that he has experience with monsters and we see a concentration camp number on his arm. This film is also a tribute to the Universal Monsters. Will they be successful in their intent? 'The Monster Squad' is a highly entertaining cult movie with a funny story that entwines adventure, dark comedy and horror. The unlike group brings Patrick's sister (Lisa Fuller), who claims that is virgin, to read the passage that sends the monsters to the limbo. Meanwhile Sean's little sister Phoebe (Ashley Bank), who is unsuccessfully trying to join the club, befriends Frankenstein's creature. So they asks for help from their weird neighbor that they call Scary German Guy (Leonardo Cimino) and they discover that they need to recover the amulet and a virgin to get rid off Dracula and the monsters. However the book is written in German and they are not able to translate it. When his son Sean (Andre Gower), who is a monster fan, learns the news, he joins his friends Patrick (Robby Kiger), Horace (Brent Chalem) and Rudy (Ryan Lambert) in his monster club to read a Van Helsing's journal that was given by his mother. Meanwhile a mummy vanishes from the local museum and police detective Del (Stephen Macht) is assigned to investigate the case. In the town, a man claims that he is the werewolf and goes to the police station to ask to be locked up in a cell. He summons the Werewolf, the Mummy, the Swamp Thing and Frankenstein's creature to help him to retrieve the amulet. In the present days, Dracula travels to the United States and arrives in a small town. Van Helsing and his men to his castle with a magical amulet. One hundred years ago, Dracula and other monsters survive to the attack of Dr. Great music, great cast (Andre Gower, Robby Kiger, Ryan Lambert, Stephen Macht, and Jon Gries), and great fun! Fans of obscure 80s movies are sure to add to the cult following. The kids are actually all pretty cool (especially Rudy, even though his wears his pants so tight, you can see what side he tucks on). This movie was great because, although the monsters may appear somewhat corny (not forgetting that it is technically a family horror film), it still has a heap of great qualities. When no one else believes the kids, or when no one else is powerful enough to stop them using traditional crime fighting methods (arresting the Wolfman didn't seem to work out), the Monster Squad (with the help of Scary German Guy and Frankenstein) takes things upon themselves to save the day. Drac is terrorizing the town, trying to locate a powerful amulet which has the potential for serious disaster. Little did they know that their enthusiasm in the genre would suddenly come in handy as their town in suddenly invaded by Dracula and a few other memorable horror villains in their classic form. The Monster Squad refers to a tree house club of five kids who are self-proclaimed horror fanatics. In my opinion, Monster Squad is a much more enjoyable movie than Night of the Creeps. Monster Squad follows in that tradition as the horror-comedy about a gang of young kids who save their town from Dracula and his goons. Prospective Monster Squad viewers may recognize the name Fred Dekkar, the director of another 80s cult classic, a zombie horror called Night of the Creeps.
