REUNION SCREENINGS OF THE MONSTER SQUAD SOLD OUT NATIONWIDE. Call your local arthouse theatre and beg them to get on board. Better yet--tell them you want André and the cast in person.

20th anniversary TWO-DISC DVD edition with tons of special features released 7/24/07! A documentary, trailers, interviews with the cast today, commentaries, and more await you if you can find the dvd--it sold out nationwide 15 minute after release.

Released August 14, 1987, The Monster Squad premiered in 1,280 theatres nationwide, pulling in $4,000,000 at the box office during just a two-week run ($286K/day). Once the movie hit video and cable, fans rabidly clung to beat-up and brand new copies of the movie, watching them so many times that today fans still complain that their copies are completely worn out. Few movies have such a dedicated following 20 years later.

Want a famous SKR t-shirt like André wears in the movie? Go to the STORE and get yours.

  Til now, fans satiated their Monster Squad fix by purchasing old copies  on Amazon.com and Ebay, where bidding usually drives the price to $70 and beyond. Others have viewed various Monster Squad clips online at places like YouTube over 100,000 times.  And of course, there are the bootleg copies, which also fetch top dollar.
  Much like Office Space--which was not given enough time to find its audience during a short box-office run only to become a top-selling DVD with the same kind of dedicated following Monster Squad has always enjoyed--the DVD release of The Monster Squad is expected to find its way into the hands of the original diehard generation of fans, their friends, & children today.
