I searched for another topic mentioning this but didn't see one.

Monster Squad 20th Anniversary Edition (http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Squad-Two-Disc-20th-Anniversary/dp/B000Q6GUKM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-6558303-4910513?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1184114343&sr=8-1)

Anyway for all the people who grew up the same time I did and have seen this movie, you already know of the pure awesomeness Monster Squad excretes. If you're like me and haven't seen this movie in ten years, do yourself a favor and preorder this bad boy. It's being released in two weeks.

Is this that movie where the girl throws the teddy bear to frankenstein at the end? I hated that movie when I was a kid.

I'm glad somebody else is excited about this too. I saw it when I was scanning through DVDs during the DD sale and preordered from Amazon.

Wow, I would have cared about this 3 years ago. When is the HD-DVD or BluRay release?

I dont know why people on here have to say that this movie (is for children). this movie was not made for kids obviously hence the (PG-13) it has a couple of mild language parts in the humor but its mainly PG-13 due to violence.
I'm glad that wasn't my mom.

Oh, and remember...Wolfman's got 'nards.

I was just going to mention that LOL

I always thought he said "Wolfman's got gnarls?".... I guess I've been very wrong all these years.

good news though

Holee ... crap.

I loved this movie. Wolfman gets blown apart by dynamite and reforms? The Creature from the Black Lagoon sucks a shotgun blast and keels over, sans fanfare? Yeah, this had some good stuff, kicks to the nards and arrows tied to bandages not withstanding.

Ive known this was coming for a while (this and the re-release of Flash Gordon are the 2 Im really wanting)... that it is a 2 disc SE makes it all the more sweet

Good thing about it is Im ebaying my older copy of Flash Gordon to finance the purchase of these 2 movies

Hahahaha the fat kid, Brent Chalem, was a friend of mine/drinking buddy up at Cal. Obviously this movie was a poor man's Goonies, but it's still entertaining.

I came in to peek on this thread for the obligatory "Wolfman's got nards" quote

I saw this movie in the theater. I made out with 2 chicks the same day. That's the reason I remeber it.

And the Wolfman quote.

Thre reason you didnt see a topic is because this isnt a OMG! type board its a DVD deal board and the announcement (back in April by the way so welcome to 3 months ago) is not related to this board.

You must not have had HBO growing up, because it was on the channel ALL the time... the wolfman nards scene is classic

Little Monsters and Monster Squad (as a kid) were always movies my friends mentioned. I'd seen Little Monsters, but never Monster Squad.

I guess I can finally pick up MS now. ;-)

Yeah, what the hell was up with that? I went into the closest Best Buy around 1 pm and they were completely sold out. What, did each store only get 2 copies or something???

Bastards.

The better have some copies when I go back with that 15 dollar GC from Guitar Hero...

Strange. I happened into my younger brother this afternoon as I went to pick up Guitar Hero, and he couldn't find a copy at all; however, there wasn't even an empty shelf where it once was (the one that taunts you and says "too late, fucker!" - you know the one).

Oh, they had empty slots ALL OVER the place at my store. One in the New releases that had the name removed but said $14.99, and they had an official Monster Squad tag for $14.99 in the Horror section. Empty all around.

I even searched the store for dropped copies. Nope.

If I had any glitter on me, it would have been all over the place after I unleashed my primal fury.

OH MY GOD. I can't believe it. I had to verify on IMDB...that is just sad. I partied with the guy at Cal. Damn. He was such a nice guy, too.

I had a very hard time finding this locally. None at Circuit City, none at Best Buy, etc. I finally found a ton of copies at WalMart for about $14. So if anyone else is having trouble finding Monster Squad, check your local WalMart.

I just said shaq-fu it and ordered it from Amazon along with 300 on BRD ($20). It was $14 or $15, no tax, free shipping (with the combined packaging). I'll have to wait a week or so to get them, but oh well, the pricing was right.

This and Trolls 2, probably my favorite worst movie of all time. It's weird because HBO STILL shows Trolls 2 today...I seriously don't get it, someone on scheduling must really like that movie.

But I believe my favorite part is the, "Rock Until You Drop," montage.

WalMarts must've got most of the initial shipment, because after checking 4 BB's and a few CC's... I find it today at the first WalMart I check, they had about 7 or 8 copies

I wasnt able to find it in any stores so I went on bn.com and ordered it for $12 bucks. It was a good deal for me since I purchased something else to bring the total to $25 so I could get free shipping. Should be recieving it Monday. :D

Hmmm wonder if its in-store too. Got that Backstage pass, might as well get use of it.

Looks like amazon/Lions Gate dropped the price on Monster Squad already, it's only $10.99 now!

Forgive me if this has already been covered.

BB & CC for some reason don't regularly stock it. I checked at one of the most popular BB in the area of Boston and majority of the stores don't carry it for whatever reason.

The BJs club nearby sells this for $9.99 and thats where I bought mine :)

Bought it last week and watched it last night. I must have missed then when I was younger, I did not remember seeing it before.
