The Monster Squad.
Great movie. I loved it
I had to come back and add something. They had to have a virgin read some incantation to send the monsters back and a teen girl told them she was, but actually wasn't. The little girl who had befriended Frankenstein had to read it instead.
Its called "Monster Squad".
Great movie. Just released the anniversary edition.
"Wolfman got nards!" - greatest line from the movie.
sounds like Monster Squad. Look it up. Hope that was helpful
hope this helps
The Monster Squad
is a comedy/horror film written by Shane Black and Fred Dekker and directed by Fred Dekker (who also wrote/directed Night of the Creeps). It was released by Tri-Star Pictures on August 14, 1987. The film features the classic monsters, led by Dracula (Duncan Regehr).
Plot
The Monster Squad is a society of young teenagers who idolize classic monsters and monster movies. In addition to a clubhouse in a tree, they actually have their own business cards. Club leader Sean (Andre Gower), whose younger sister desperately wants to join the club, is given the diary of legendary vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing (Jack Gwillam). Sean, his best friend Patrick (Robby Kiger), and the rest of the Monster Squad get their local "Scary German Guy" (Leonardo Cimino) to translate the diary from German to English. (When he is asked how he knows so much, he tells them cryptically that he has "some experience with monsters." When the children leave his home and he closes the front door, the concentration-camp tattoo is revealed on his forearm.)
The diary describes, in great detail, an amulet that is composed of concentrated good. One day out of every century, as the forces of good and evil reach a balance, the otherwise-indestructible amulet becomes vulnerable to destruction. The next day of balance falls within a couple days, at the stroke of midnight.
The kids realize they must gain possession of the amulet before the day of balance arrives; once they have the amulet, the kids can use that--with an incantation from Van Helsing's diary--to open a hole in the universe and cast the monsters into Limbo. Dracula's monsters, meanwhile, must obtain the amulet before the Monster Squad does...so that the Count can take control of the world.
The amulet turns out to be buried in a stone room, under a house that Dracula and the other monsters occupy. The aforementioned room is littered with holy symbols, including crucifixes, which prevents the monsters from simply taking it.
So does the Monster Squad prepare to save civilization from becoming one big Transylvania...or meet a fate worse than death trying. Luckily, they have the assistance of Patrick's lovely-but-nameless elder sister (Lisa Fuller)...because the incantation must be read by a virgin, and she's the only person they know who speaks German. Sadly she is failing German, and not technically a virgin, "Well, Steve is but he doesn't count." Additional help comes from a single good monster: Frankenstein's Creature, who defects after befriending Sean's kid sister Phoebe (Ashley Bank), who ultimately is the virgin needed to read the incantation; with the assistance of "Scary German Guy
