The Monster Squad (1987)

Quote:

Dracula is alive. In fact, he plans to rule the world and that is why he seeks the help of other legendary monsters. However, a bunch of kids regarded by their peers as losers uncover the devious plan and prepare for a counter strike.

This has previously been released on edonkey for the eagle eyed donkeyiers; however the quality difference is large enough to warrant a re-release. AR is correct, framerate is proper and image quality is vastly increased. Sound was captured at PCM Audio @ 1536 kb/s (768/ch, stereo) and compressed to ~128kb/s VBR mp3 so it sounds much better too. The two rips come from differant masters (notice the different positioning of the coffin/top of the tree line between the two rips).

Hey great. I deleted the other rip. The quality was way too bad for me. But it was hard, wanted this one badly :-)

its still pan/scan though :matrix:

but i don't believe it ever got a widescreen release on video

wargand · **Posted:** Mon Apr 12, 2004 1:57 am **Post subject:**

As long as the sound is ok. The other one was very hard to understand with all the noise in it. This was the main reason I deleted it.
