Extras: Easily the most valuable portion of the supplemental package is a present-day behind-the-scenes documentary covering many aspects of the film's production. I've separated each section below, but you have the option of playing the entire feature from start to finish (1080p, Dolby Digital 2.0). Part 1 (9:04 min): The Monster Master: Director Fred Dekker gives a present day interview where he reflects on his film career leading up to Monster Squad, and reveals some of his early influences. Part 2 (17:06 min): The Monster Makers: The make-up and effects crew discuss the experience of working with legendary creature effects expert Stan Winston, and reveal the techniques they used to bring the monsters to life. Part 3 (19:50 min): The Monsters and the Squad: Fred Dekker and the main cast members individually discuss the casting choices and their experiences working with one another. At the end of this section, there's a heartwarming reflection on Brent Chalem (Horace), who passed away in 1997. Part 4 (20:12 min): Lights, Camera, Monsters: The same group of individuals interviewed in the prior segment are joined by cinematographer Bradford May and composer Bruce Broughton, to discuss the visual effects in several scenes and the themes they were striving for at different points in the storyline. Part 5 (10:01): Monster Mania: filmed on location at the 2007 Monster Mania Convention in Cherry Hill, NJ, the initial portion of this segment includes interviews with avid fans of the film, before transitioning into the interview setting with the cast and crew as they discuss the growing cult status over the years. A Conversation with Frankenstein (1080p, Dolby Digital 2.0, 8:39 min): This vintage interview was conducted back in 1986 with an in-character Tom Noonan discussing the film career of Frankenstein. This is a fantastic inclusion and a great job by Noonan. Deleted Scenes (1080p, Dolby Digital 2.0, 14:00 min): Presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio, this collection of rough deleted/extended scenes were taken from Fred Dekker's archives and prior television broadcast versions. Although the scenes are encoded in high-definition, this is entirely standard definition material. Animated Storyboard Sequence (1080p, Dolby Digital 2.0, 1:40 min): The fight sequence between the mummy and a carload of monster-fighting youngsters is presented side-by-side with a series of storyboards drawn in preparation for the completion of the scene. Lastly, we have a still gallery, two high-definition trailers, and dual audio commentary tracks. The first commentary involves writer director Fred Dekker, Andre Gower (Sean), Ryan Lambert (Rudy), and Ashley Bank (Phoebe). The second track is a bit more technical, with a greater emphasis on the cinematography and effects (courtesy of Fred Dekker and cinematographer Bradford May). (Blu-ray-com)
