I don't know much about this series as it's slightly before my time, so I'll let a seemingly knowledgeable person from Amazon dot com do the talking:
Not to be confused with the 80s movie of the same name, "The Monster Squad" was a fond memory from my childhood. This 70s NBC Saturday morning show featured a pre "Love Boat" Fred Grandy as Walt, a night watchman at a Hollywood-type wax museum who was also a criminology college student during the day. He built a "Crime Computer" to monitor police activity during his shift. The computer somehow brought to life the statues of the Frankenstein Monster, Dracula, and the Wolfman (not Laurence Talbot, but Bruce WW. The initials stood for WereWolf). To make up for past misdeeds, the three use their unique abilities to fight crime. The show featured "special guest villians" like Marty Allen, Alice Ghostly, Jonathan Harris, among others. If the show reminded you of the 60s "Batman" tv show, that's because both shows were produced by the same people. I can't wait for this DVD, and I still think an updated version of this show would work today.Huh. Sounds like fun. No mention of special features but perhaps the fact that this series is even existing on DVD IS the special feature.
As a kid who grew up on 60s Batman reruns, I think I'll put this in the ol' Netflix queue for October. Seems like good, light background entertainment for unpacking decorations.
Side note: Ever try and spell "queue"...?
Not easy.
That word just ain't right.
