The Monster Squad
Count Dracula adjourns to Earth, accompanied by Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and the Gillman. The uglies are in search of a powerful amulet that will grant them power to rule the world. Our heroes - the Monster Squad are the only ones daring to stand in their way.
The Monster Squad (1987), directed by Fred Dekker, Lion's Gate 20th Anniversary remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including 5.1 remaster, original theatrical stereo, two commentary tracks, and subtitles in English and Spanish.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093560/
Video encoded in two-pass 12.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available.
Subtitles converted to SRT/VobSub and repositioned.
Note : A classic teen horror comedy from the 80s here, along the lines of Fright Night, but maybe a bit more comedy-oriented. Written by Shane Black, most famous for being the nerd in the original Predator, it's a fast-paced, smart-assed story with a whole bunch of classic monsters in the Universal mold vs. what's basically The Goonies. Not many well-known actors, or even who went on to be famous later (although there is Stephen Macht, and the great Tom Noonan makes an almost unrecognizable appearance as Frankenstein's monster), but the performances are solid, the gags amusing, and it doesn't outstay its welcome. Classic Halloween fare.
A group of horror movie fan kids come into possession of Abraham Van Helsing's diary, and recruit their elderly neighbor, "Scary German Guy", actually a concentration camp survivor, to translate it from German, just in time to discover a once-a-century energy confluence or whatever MacGuffin that will permit evil monsters led by Count Dracula to take over the world. They must set out to recover a mystical amulet, facing Dracula and his monster army of a mummy, a werewolf, and a gill-man, with some reluctant help from Frankenstein's creature.
This remaster isn't very new, but it looks pretty decent, with reasonable grain and detail, good contrast and color, and it's quite clean. The 5.1 track and the stereo track both sound good, and the two commentary tracks are fun.
