*edited as it's an April Fool*
Could be (probably is) an April Fool, but...

Total fake. “Meet the Monsters” 37-minute featurette with Tom Noonan (Frankenstein), Duncan Regehr (Dracula), Carl Thibault (Wolfman), Tom, Woodruff (Gillman) and Michael Mackay (Mummy).
Jonathan Gries was the Woflman, not Carl Thibault, I would think a legit company would make a featureette with the correct actor.
Not only an april fools joke but a lame, lazy one at that.

This could still be an April Fool's joke, though.

2-discs?...ain't going to happen. this movie in now way has the appeal to reach that big of an audience now to warrant such an expensive set. no way this is legit. i will bet ya...

I wish this was true I want this movie on DVD so badly I probably bring up the Monster Squad thread every month. As soon as I saw all those special features I knew it was fake. We still to need to find who owns this thing?

From IMDB:
Production Companies
Home Box Office (HBO) [us]
TAFT Entertainment Pictures
TriStar Pictures [us]
Distributors
Image Entertainment Inc. [us] (USA) (laserdisc)
TriStar Pictures [us]
Vestron Video [us] (USA) (VHS)
So could Tristar be the one holdin out? It should be illegal to keep holding onto it and not putting it on DVD. Everyone should own this movie.

It's been a while since we heard any info about this. Anyone heard any new news on Monster Squad (or RAD!!)? I remember it was also supposed to be released by Pacific Family/Triumph on 10/28/03 (in addition to the OP statement of "StoneStageFilms on 7/12/05"), but those never came about. Why is this movie so elusive! I can't believe Monster Squad and Rad have not been released yet! By the way, I found an active petition for Monster Squad if anyones interested. Here's the link below.
