APRIL 19 FEATURED EVENT: Cinefamily’s FRIDAY NIGHT FRIGHTS Screens “Monster Squad” With Director Fred Dekker In Person!

Posted by Don Rose

Tonight, fearless fans, a Friday Fright Flashback! The Monster Squad returns to the big screen once again at Silent Movie Theatre, thanks to the wacky and wonderful Cinefamily. Here is the info, from the Cinefamily Facebook event page:

Today at 11:55pm

$12 / free for members

The Monster Squad was, is and always will be a waaaaay better kids’ adventure film than the glory-hogging Goonies, no matter what any ‘80s-nostalgia-loving film fan tells you. That’s because director Fred Dekker and co-writer Shane Black (creator of Lethal Weapon) know what kids really want — scary monsters! Dekker dusts off the Universal vaults for classic, yet fresh takes on Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Gill Man and the Wolf Man (who, it turns out, has nards!), and pits them all against a gang of wise-crackin’, foul-mouthed kids. Hilarity, hijinks and horror ensue, resulting in a delightfully spooky romp that’s well on its way to “unsung classic” status. Like The Wizard of Oz and It’s A Wonderful Life (yes, we’re going there), The Monster Squad was overlooked in its day, and until recently was only available on dusty old VHS. We’re putting those horrible days behind us by placing this monsterpiece back where it belongs — on the big screen. Director Fred Dekker in person! Dir. Fred Dekker, 1987, 35mm, 82 min.
