Wolfman’s Got Nards is a 2018 American documentary film directed by Andre Gower from a script co-written with producer Henry McComas about comedy horror movie The Monster Squad (1987, directed by Fred Dekker from a screenplay by Shane Black). Gower played young Sean in the original movie.
Gower told Entertainment Weekly: “I was thinking about all of the amazing stories that these fans have told me and our fellow cast mates over the last decade of this resurgence. Those stories never ceased, or slowed down, or stopped. They just kept on growing, and getting deeper and more fascinating. I started to realize that there’s something really special there, that this movie had a really deep impact on a lot of people…”
Producer Henry McComas told EW: “I grew up on The Monster Squad. My brother is about nine years older than me, so I would inherit VHS tapes that he had. We had some sort of VHS [of Monster Squad], probably ripped probably from an HBO stream. The first time I watched it, it was this weird experience where it was like, these kids are on bicycles like me, but they’re fighting these monsters that only were something I knew from Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.”
Wolfman’s Got Nards has its world premiere at Cinepocalypse in Chicago and will be shown in London at the Arrow Video FrightFest.
