RATINGS
Out of 8 bedside candles, Carol and Josh both lit just 2 candles for this “classic” film, The Monster Squad. Maybe just skip it!
Out of 14 pieces of silver melted in shop class, Josh gave the kids in this film 5/14. Carol added 1 piece, for a total of 6/14, because the little sister Phoebe and her scenes with Frankenstein’s Monster were a delight.
