There has been a noticeable decline in horror-themed movies for children in recent years. Where are more films like The Goonies, Hocus Pocus, Halloween Town, and The Monster Squad? This is where Monster Summer comes in. The film aims to revitalize this seemingly forgotten genre.

The film features performances by Mason Thames (The Black Phone), Mel Gibson (Braveheart, Lethal Weapon), and Lorraine Bracco (Goodfellas, The Sopranos), and is directed by David Henrie.
