Monster Mash

Mike Mitchell is set to direct the supernatural action comedy Monster Squad says Variety .

Despite the title, this is not a remake of the classic 1987 family film --called The Monster Squad and helmed by Fred Dekker--but the new name for Brian Lynch's 2000 spec script Nightcrawlers.

Brad Copeland wrote the most recent draft which centers on a neurotic father who must turn to a childhood tormentor to face his lifelong fear of the dark and the monsters who have haunted him.

The project has an interesting history beyond the title issues McG was linked to direct the flick back in 2007 from a script by Michael Arndt

Filming kicks off next Summer.



Mitchell's (pictured w/Lynda Carter) Sky High was a lot of fun and he should serve this Squad well...
