When Stranger Things became a hit, producers wanted to tap into that 80s nostalgia that has become very popular today in the Radcore movement. Turns out, one property that producers were interested in adapting as a TV series was the classic 80s hit The Monster Squad!
The film’s director Fred Dekker recently revealed that in an interview with Moviefone, he was approached to bring Monster Squad to the small screen. The is certainly something that I would have been interested in seeing! I love the concept of a group of kids coming together to face off with a team of legendary monsters. It had such a cool and perfect blend of comedy and horror.
While it would have been pretty rad to see the franchise revived, Dekker ended up turning down the opportunity. He explained:
"I'll be completely honest, Shane Black and I have both been approached about adapting The Monster Squad for television.
