Video: Some Fun Facts You Might Not Know About ‘The Monster Squad’
  |  @   |  

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.

How ‘The Monster Squad’ & ‘Harry Potter and The Prisoner Of Azkaban’ Are The Same Movie (Video)
  |  @   |  

Here’s a movie comparison you weren’t expecting to see today. Unless of course you’ve already seen it. In which case, hi there! What brings you here? Excellent, welcome. Oh, there’s a snack machine ’round the back if you’re hungry.

Right then, where were we? Ah, yes. Unexpected movie comparisons. In a new video, YouTube channel Couch Tomato makes the wild argument that The Monster Squad and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban are actually the same movie.

  |  @   |  

Remember back in March when we found out that Paramount Pictures was remaking beloved ’80s favorite The Monster Squad and we all hoped that that would be the last we ever heard of it? It looks as if it’s not only happening, but this could just be the start.

It’s being reported that cousins Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn have been hired to write the screenplay for the movie, and that there are hopes that this could develop into a possible franchise. The Gunn cousins haven’t done a whole lot yet, but they did pen Bring it On Again, James Gunn’s (director of Slither and Brian’s brother) PG Porn, and the upcoming sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth, which is being called Journey to the Mysterious Island.
