The Monster Squad is definitely a sub-par movie, but it has certain things worth watching.  Throughout all the monster movies, we always hear what can kill them, but nobody ever tries another way.  Well, thanks to TMS, we find out what happens when you shove a stick of dynamite down a Wolf Man's pants.  He'll blow the fuck up, but he's going to fully regenerate as if nothing ever happened.  And Gillman never looked more badass. 

 

 

Great work done by Stan Winston and co. 

 

It's also the only film to have ever featured all five classic monsters, even if only Dracula was necessary to the plot.  The movie's cheesy as hell in a lot of parts, but I like it because it reminds me of my childhood where my love of horror began.
