Not sure if this is old news, or new news but I found a little information on another board regarding its release. Like a lot of other DVDT'ers I am waiting for a release on DVD, heck I would even take a bare bones release, as long as it is widescreen.(a DTS track woundn't hurt either

According to IGN's 'What's Up With?' dvd section, Anchor Bay is reportedly working on the dvd. Cross your fingers.

I also found this site dedicated to The Monster Squad

Also here is a little tidbit from the director

From this link:
http://www.geocities.com/themonsters...interview.html

"The Monster Squad" director Fred Dekker states:

" Speaking of which: all Monster Squad fans should unite and write your favorite home video company requesting a new, remastered, widescreen DVD (with director audio commentary, of course!). I don’t want to be self-serving by starting the ball rolling, but you guys can -- Just pretend it was your idea! A letter-writing campaign will have more effect than a phone call from a sniveling director. Those pan-scanned VHS tapes must be banished into the vortex! "

Any new news of Anchor Bay's involvement?

phone number? Address?

We want it, I'll write.

I am almost certain Paramount holds the right to this, as the film was produced by Taft, and Paramount controls their library now.

If Paramount has it, you can almost guarantee a bare bones release (though that Once Upon a Time in the West release was packed).

I don't really care for extras (It'd be nice). I just want remastered Widescreen and Stereo or 5.1 tracks.

Ya I would take a bare release too, as long as it was WS and a decent audio track, that would be great.

:tumbsup: lets keep out fingers crossed
