From ComingSoon... Deadline New York is reporting that Platinum Dunes, which produced The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street remakes, have come on board the remake of The Monster Squad. It's been over a year since Rob Cohen revealed that he was actively working with Paramount Pictures to remake The Monster Squad. Cohen was a producer on the original directed by Fred Dekker. A writer is now being sought for the new version. The Monster Squad, written by Shane Black and Dekker, was released in '87 and told of a monster-lovin' group of kids who side with the Frankenstein monster and must do battle with Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy and the Gill-Man. www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=64385

I think The Monster Squad is one of those films you had to see as a kid to really love. I only saw it for the first time recently, and without the goggles of nostalgia it just doesn't hold up.
Monster mash-ups always have potential, though, so a remake might be interesting.
