The Monster Squad Screen Print by Tyler Stout

When The Blot was a little kid, The Monster Squad terrified me. Even back then I knew it wasn’t a horror movie, but there was just something about Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman that scared the heebie jeebies out of me. Thankfully, I got over that pretty quickly and ended up loving this 80’s classic. So much so, that I would often be heard quoting the movie’s most memorable line, “Wolfman don’t have nards!”

Alamo Drafthouse - The Monster Squad Red Screenprint by Tyler Stout
When Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse held a special screening of The Monster Squad with a Q&A with the movie’s director Fred Dekker held afterwards, Alamo commissioned artist Tyler Stout to design a screen print to commemorate the event. Stout’s print was so awesome, Dekker proclaimed it the best poster ever created for the 80’s classic.

Both versions are 24”x36”, printed with metallic inks and hand numbered. The blue variant edition is sold out, but the red standard edition is still available from Mondo Tees and retails for $40 each.
