Description

We remember loving this movie, and what's not to love? It has all the Classic Monsters. Dracula? Check. Wolfman? Check. Frankenstein? Check. A Mummy? Check. That Lizard thing from a Lagoon? Check. Throw in a bunch of kids trying to fight to save a town that doesn't believe in monsters, as stranger and stranger things keep happening all around them. Now that is a recipe for a fun Halloween movie. Or it is a totally lame 80s movie that bombed for a reason.
