What’s the use in ANY remake? That’s right. To re do the story for a new audience.

And while we are at it, why cant the legend be that these monsters resurface every 20 years? Where is it written that it has to be 100?

There are a lot of movies I would think would be difficult to remake, but this isn’t one of them.

IF thers gonna be a remake anytime soon about this flick (wich i wouldn’t recommend btw) could take place 100 years after this one in a much futuristic era…since the story revolves on monsters coming back every 100 years…whats the use in recreate the original..?

In regards to Slushie Man’s complaints on the inperfectness (is that a word?) of Monster Squard. Yes, it has major flaws but thats what makes it so 80’s good. Its like saying Big Trouble in Little China has flaws, yes, but it still kicks ass! and thats what Jack Burton says!

In complete agreement with gutpunch… This movie was fucking awesome… But a remake wouldn’t be PC enough for the assholes out there that think kids shooting shit and swearing doesn’t happen. I probably will see it though if it is remade, but the original is a classic and doesn’t need it

There is no way a remake would be able to get away with what they did back then. Kids swearing like sailors, using guns, shooting shit and holocaust references. Doubt it.

If this gets made I will never see it. Ever.
Fuck this and fuck all that think it’s OK to remake.

Monster Squad is pretty much my favorite 80’s-movie. My friends and I still quote it regularly, and it’s soo good. Not really a horror-movie, but very exciting for a kid, and still funny for an adult. I would definetly watch the remake, if it seems true to the quality of the original. AWESOME!

In principle, I’m against the notion of remaking movies that were made in my lifetime. It makes me feel old.

Yes, that means the longer I live, the longer the moratorium becomes, but that’s just the way it has to be. Sorry, Hollywood.

Oh, and I’ve never seen “The Monster Squad,” but I know a lot of people who swear by it. Maybe we should check it out, John.

i think i read somewhere, im not sure where, that they had to redesign the monsters because universal owned the rights of frankenstein, dracula, etc, now if universal has the rights of the movie maybe theyre planning to do something special. just by keeping the main idea would be enough.

According to John’s rules:

1. Has it been 20 or more years since the original? Yes.
2. Is it a movie most people in the general public has yet to see? Yes.
3. Could it benefit from having a remake? Yes. The old effects were horrid, the acting just as bad, the script was a mess and left many things unresolved or open.

Look, I’m the hugest Monster Squad fan you’ll ever find, but I’m also not delusional. The original movie had some major problems, that could easily be fixed by a remake.

Mother of God dude you’ve never seen the Mother F-ing Monster Squad??? Your film geek credentials should be revoked. Oh, by the way, hell friggin no to a remake cause there really ain’t a damn thing wrong with the original that needs to be updated.
