Fred Dekker dug up the address for the rights holders to both MONSTER SQUAD and his previous film, NIGHT OF THE CREEPS (which also screened last weekend and got the midnight audience pumped up as well). So, if you want either MONSTER SQUAD or NIGHT OF THE CREEPS in a special edition with cast commentary, special features (he mentioned over 13 minutes were cut out of MONSTER SQUAD for time) and digitally remastered picture and sound, then you need to write to the addresses below. Keep it civil, but let them know how much you love the movie. Send a postcard, letter, brick, flowers... anything that'll show the studio you want to buy this DVD.

If you want a MONSTER SQUAD DVD write to:
Mr. Sumner M. Redstone
Viacom
1515 Broadway
New York, NY 10036

If you want a NIGHT OF THE CREEPS DVD write to:
Mr. Michael Lynton
Mr. Bob Osher
Sony Pictures Entertainment
10202 West Washingtopn Blvd.
Culver City, CA 90232

Now we've been pushing this on DEADPIT.com since the beginning, but ONLY THE FANS can make this happen, send as many nice non-threatening letters as you can! And always remember:

I'm sending out letters tomorrow. Anyway, after much debate we at least now know which studio owns the film, Paramount has "The Monster Squad" and Sony has "Night of the Creeps."

i will try to send out a letter

Good detective work. I'll send in for "Monster Squad" for sure, lol.

Good work! I remember Night of the Creeps more than Squad, but Dekker needs some DVD vindication!

By the way, is "Michael Allred" THE Micheal Allred?

Mr. Madman doesn't have the trademark on the name. As far as I'm concerned, there is no "THE Michael Allred."

if someone can send me a copy of the letters (Word) i will send them out...

I'm sure Sumner Redstone will personally read all these :lol:.

Coming with mine later this week.

Ummm...i work in the viacom building. You're going to have to put a floor # on that...at the very least.

Quite possibly. I have access to the entire building.

What about Night of the Comet?

I only cut & pasted it, lol.

I suppose one could just simply write to Paramount.

Paramount Home Entertainment
5555 Melrose Avenue
Hollywood, CA 90038

It's owned by MGM, who made a new HD widescreen master, but now that Sony controls MGM, you have to ask Sony, who probably rather have you triple dip on 13 GOING ON 30!

So whats the floor number digitalfreak said we should put on it??

To make sure he gets the letter, one could spend a couple of extra dollars to require a signature, right?

The Horror Channel had an article on this screening on April 17 and they listed the rights owners as HBO and Lion's Gate.

HBO Consumer Affairs
1100 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036

Lionsgate
2700 Colorado Ave.
Santa Monica, CA 90404

I didn't. It would depend on which company he was working for in viacom. There are a lot of them. Or is Viacom the rights holder? Who would be the distributor?

Looks like THC updated it overnight.

I'd really love to see Monster Squad on DVD. I think I have an old VHS copy recorded off HBO in 1988 or 1989. I'd glady pay for a DVD in OAR, special features would just be icing on the cake.
