Take the filthy mouthed kids of The Goonies, Stand By Me & The Lost Boys then toss in all the classic Universal Monsters and you have yourself a entertaining ride. The editing is noticeably sloppy but it's so fast-paced you might not notice. Stan Winston's creature effects are top-notch as always and Bruce Broughton's music fits the tone perfectly. It's scary enough to engulf the little horror hound monsters and just enough to keep the older crowd entertained with it's tongue-in-cheek cliches and coincidences.
In short, it's all about fun, fun and more fun.
