Humanity has spent its time enjoying a peace that can only be had through blissful ignorance. For centuries, stories of monsters have been handed down through the generations. When creatures of the night proved to be real, the best of America’s military came together to form an elite band of rapid response teams. Their mission: to keep the civilian populace safe from the creatures that go bump in the night and hide all evidence of their existence. During a routine mission things go horribly wrong and the Monster Squad finds themselves having to rebuild from the ashes of what they once were. This time they face not only the monsters, but their own government as a dark storm brews on the horizon. A storm that will threaten not just the squads and their existence, but the lives of every human on earth.

The Monster Squad is back and this time they are battling one of Leery's biggest creations - Mega Mantis. The giant mantis has returned to Riddle and he brought all of his insect friends with him. Now it's up to the Monster Squad to squash this bug for good! But how do you kill a bug that's four times bigger than a house?

Featuring several hundred behind-the-scenes photos, and crafted from over 75 hours of interviews, Monster Squad includes comprehensive discussions with Jennifer Aspinall, Gabe Bartalos, Michele Burke and many more!
