When Count Dracula arrives in a small American town with a plan to unleash ultimate darkness, he doesn’t come alone. Joining him are Frankenstein’s Monster, the Mummy, the Wolfman, and the Gill-man… a gathering of legendary creatures determined to find an ancient amulet that could tip the balance of good and evil forever.
The only ones standing in their way aren’t soldiers or scientists. They’re kids. Calling themselves “The Monster Squad,” this group of friends knows more about monsters than anyone else, thanks to their obsession with old horror films. With nothing but their knowledge, courage, and a diary filled with cryptic warnings, they must face down creatures they never thought could be real.
The Monster Squad is the official novelization of the 1987 cult-classic film, written by Chris Ryall and adapted from the original screenplay by Fred Dekker and Shane Black. For the first time, the story is expanded beyond the film, restoring moments and details that never made it to the screen while staying true to the heart of the original.
Packed with adventure, scares, and the scrappy spirit that made the movie a fan favorite, this book is both a nostalgic return for longtime fans and the perfect entry point for new readers discovering the Squad for the first time.
Wolfman’s got nards!!
