I love The Monster Squad. It was one of my favorite movies growing up. So when I saw that CineFix was dedicating one of their “Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know“ series to it, I simply had to share with you.

They’ve come up with seven fun facts about the movie you may or may not be aware of, ranging from writer/director contributions, connections to other movies, the difficulty of performing in full costume for some, and more.

You can check it out below.

You can find more “Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know” videos here if interested, and many more at CineFix’s YouTube channel as well.

If you’ve never seen The Monster Squad, you can and very much should grab a copy now with fall and the Halloween season fast approaching.

Oh, and while I love The Goonies…give me The Monster Squad over it any day of the week.
