Nardtastic!
I'm not going to write a review because I will be linking a page with a nice one. But here is my ode to one of my favorite childhood movies.
We, meaning myself and my childhood friend Louie, must have watched this movie any time we were awake. Louie lived across the street from the time I was 4 till I was six or so. Actually, I'm not really sure, I spent a lot of those years drunk. Louie owned this movie on VHS -- I know this because I do not own a copy of it -- we would watch it whenever we were at his house. Then he moved. But we went to visit, I think 3 or 4 times, and every time we watched this movie. Then we lost contact. The last I heard, back in 88', he was touring Vietnam with the Harlem Globe Trotters as their basketball.
Although I haven't seen Louie in about 19-20 years (damn I'm old), I believe we still have a connection. That connection? That movie that I mentioned above. That movie? MONSTER SQUAD!!! Monster Squad, from what I remember because I haven't seen it in a multitude of years, was awesome. From the creepy German guy to...other things in the movie (I told you I was drunk during those years), this movie had it all. But one particular thing sticks out, one scene from Monster Squad is burned into my gray matter of a hard-drive.
A video clip of that awesome scene and much more information (than I could ever provide) about Monster Squad can be found here. Enjoy.
