Update: Rob Cohen quotes inside. This afternoon SpookyDan conducted an exclusive one-on-one interview with Rob Cohen, director of Universal's upcoming The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, who revealed some interesting news about Fred Dekker's classic '87 movie. Cohen tells Bloodyy-Disgusting that Paramount Pictures has acquired the remake rights to Monster Squad, which followed a group of kids hunting down Dracula and his minions who are attempting to take over the world. Cohen also reveals that he is planning to produce the remake, but does not intend on directing. Read on for more info straight for the horses mouth.
“The Wolfmans got Nards! What a great line" Cohen jokes with Bloody-Disgusting. "I am talking with Paramount about the ownership rights, we just found out that because of all the different companies being bought and sold, (it was so hard to do) but we believe all the rights are back at Paramount. I have been waiting to finish this (third Mummy) film, to really start the talks about remaking it. Maybe I would direct, maybe someone else with me producing. I really think highly of that that film…I mean, how great is it with The Mummy, the Wolfman, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein they all were in it! It would be a prime remake!”
Cohen is one of the original executive producers of The Monster Squad, directed by Fred Dekkar in 1987.

Bleurgh!!! I loved the original. Leave it at that. Rerun it in the theaters if they want people to see it again.
Just lay off my precious "Re-Animator" remake hounds! At least Brian Yuzna has the good sense not to sell the rights off to it...yet. :/
Oh god! The original Monster Squad was good for WHEN it was released in the way that Bad News Bears was good for when IT was released. The remake of the Bad News Bears was HORRIBLE. I see the remake of Monster Squad being just as bad.
Well hopefully they will at least update the monters or something...read: not Universal Studio's creatures...maybe a good way to tie in Freddy and Jason...or have a zombie outbreak (with other monters of course)...maybe they should not remake but sequal or update it.
Oh, please god. Don't touch Monster Squad! The only director that I think could even get away with something like this is Del Toro, and even then its unlikely.
whats up with the freaking remakes!?!?!?!?! im tired of reading about remakes not only on this site but other ones i visit. even though i have never seen this movie the orgiginal i mean...hey scream i aint seeing noes remake either. and also from what i read about the f13 remake i pass on that too. cant any idiots in hollywood come up with NEW horror ideas and no remakes?!?!?!?!?! i guess they care more about the all mighty dollar......
what made this movie so good is that it is what it is. it won't have that 80's feel to it... it wont have that magic...
i hate Hollywood... kill yourself...
that is effing bullcrap!!! how can you remake monster squard.. first off that is a sign of disrepect to two of the memebers of the monster squard that are no longer with us!!! the fat kid and stan watson.. the makeup artist!!!
BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE!!!!
