‘The Monster Squad’ Gets An Awesome ‘Suicide Squad’-inspired Trailer!
I guess it was only a matter of time before someone started using the most recent Suicide Squad trailer as an inspiration for other teasers. ThatMattCaronGuy appears to be among the first to do so and he has chosen none other than cult classic The Monster Squad for his turn at bat. The fun result lies below, seeing Fred Dekker’s 1987 monster rally with a more modern trailer and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” laid on top of it. The logical next step here is an actual mash-up trailer with footage from both films and I have no doubt that someone out there is already beginning to do just that.
More than anything, this makes me pine for some more horror-oriented superhero fare in the coming years. We’ve heard a lot about the possibilities of a horror-tinged Justice League Dark, a possible Moon Knight series on Netflix from Marvel, and a potential theatrical revival of the Bladefranchise within the MCU. Here’s hoping some of that eventually comes to pass, as when it comes to this new wave of superhero properties, the supernatural remains one of the few areas that neither Marvel nor DC have yet to tackle in connection to their cinematic universes.
We at Villain Smash love Batman, Captain America, Superman, Spider-Man, Green Arrow, Daredevil, The Flash, etc. We also, however, love Swamp Thing, Etrigan the Demon, Moon Knight, The Living Mummy, The Spectre, Werewolf by Night, John Constantine, and many more. As Hollywood forges ahead with countless more comic book adaptations, here’s hoping some of them make the jump, be it on the big screen, Netflix, or our televisions at home.

Every season can be Halloween season with a little imagination, right?! Our friends at Spirit Halloween are determined to make sure you have a scary little summer with their new Summerween lineup, which kicks off this week with a killer new Terrifier pool party collection that features everything from a Terrifier beach towel to an Art the Clown pool float!
The exclusive, limited-time Terrifier collection is available now while supplies last.
Art the Clown has haunted the streets of Miles County on Halloween and the holidays, and now Spirit is helping him take a stab at summer. This officially-licensed collaboration arrives as the “Summerween” movement, a mid-summer celebration of spooky culture, reaches a fever pitch with #summerween amassing over 34.7B views and counting.
“The horror fandom doesn’t hibernate in the heat,” said Lori Tesoro, Director of PR at Spirit Halloween. “By bringing Terrifier‘s Art the Clown into the summer, we’re giving Halloween fans the year-round scares they demand.”
The collection features killer essentials to turn any beach day into a sun-soaked slasher where guests won’t know if they should grab a drink… or make a run for it.
- “Summer Scaries” Sign: a layered 3D sign that practically pulls Art the Clown off the wall and into the party.
- Art the Clown Ice Cream Inflatable Pool Float: a nearly six-foot Art-inspired ice cream cone topped with his iconic sunflower shades and devious grin.
- Art the Clown Pool Party Can: dripping graphics, a blood-red straw, and a sunnies topper that says hydration… but make it homicidal.
- Terrifier Beach Towel: one side chill black and white design, one side full-blown blood-splattered chaos.
- Terrifier Tote and Mini: perfect for SPF, snacks, and whatever you can grab in a panic.
- Terrifier Apparel: Drip shorts, Summer Scaries graphic tee, and Art the Clown Cropped Tank Top that serve “final character chic” with a killer instinct.
- Art the Clown Accessories: signature ice pop sunnies and a reversible bucket hat that flips from sunny to nightmare fuel in seconds.
