      Not to mention the fact that Igor never existed until Son of Frankenstein(1939) . Before that it was Dwight Frye portraying *Fritz* whom *The Monster* hung when he escaped.

      To be fair, I grew up during the 80's and I never heard of this movie till the 2010's. I looked up it's box office performance and it did NOT do well (it only made about 3 and a half million and had a budget of 12 million). I definitely did NOT see it on TV either (I didn't have cable, just the basic channels). It only got ONE VHS release during 1988 and nothing else and didn't come to DVD till 2007 (that's when it got popular with a cult following. Before that, few people saw it).Great movie.

    The reason you didn't really hear about it is because the Lost Boys came out within 2 weeks of the Monster Squad! Completely overshadowed it. Regarding the language.. it was the 80s! We said a bunch of shit back then that wasn't really considered AS offensive. I think if you grew up watching it, it would hold up better. Andre Gower, who played the lead, Sean, actually made a documentary about this movie called, appropriately enough "Wolfman's Got Nards!".
