* MagnificentBastard: Count Dracula is a wickedly smart vampire who seeks a mythical amulet to plunge the world in darkness and reign supreme. Hiding out for a century after Abraham Van Helsing’s botched attempt to defeat him, Dracula summons his gang of monsters to help him track down the amulet. Going under the name Alucard, Dracula’s able to find the amulet in the mansion he rented out, and when the Monster Squad storm his castle and steal it from him, Dracula retaliates by destroying their treehouse lair and unleashing his monsters all throughout town. Undeterred in his quest for the amulet, even after his plans have been foiled despite coming so close to achieving them, Dracula still tries to take Sean with him as he’s being sucked inside the wormhole.

* SpiritualPredecessor: Structurally, possibly to Series/StrangerThings. One of the Duffer Brothers said in the pre-season 1 interviews that all the different 'groupings' of main characters were in a different type of movie: Hopper was in a government conspiracy thriller, Joyce was in a paranormal drama, Jonathan, Nancy and Steve were in a classic Creator/JohnHughes movie with {{SlasherFilm}} undertones, and Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Eleven were in a Creator/StevenSpielberg -style coming of age movie - until they all start to collide and intersect in the third act. Looked at that way, The Monster Squad is similar: the Squad is a 'those meddling kids' story fused with Film/HammerHorror; Del and his partner Sapir are world-weary cops in a police procedural, or even an occult detective story; Emily thinks she's in a {{Tearjerker}} drama about the breakdown of a marriage; Patrick's sister Lisa certainly ''acts'' like she's the lead in a John Hughes movie!
