Ostensibly a real movie and not just a vehicle for Universal Studios to sell merchandise, The Monster Squad is a late 80s kids’ classic horror movie. Featuring iconic characters like Dracula and the Wolfman, the plot of the movie is loosely draped around a group of kids trying to prevent the monsters from taking over the world.

Arts & Crafts
The inspiration for the Monster Squad arts and crafts was crafts good for a group. See what Cate and Megan crafted for this episode below!

There is really no wrong answer here. Just grab whatever craft supplies you have available and some ceramic pots plus gardening supplies. To keep this cheap for myself (or a group), I stuck with succulents since it’s easy to grab an offset and propagate it.
