THE MONSTER SQUAD was Dekker’s second film, after the similarly beloved genre classic Night of the Creeps. Co-written with screenwriter / director Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Iron Man 3), SQUAD tells the story of a ragtag group of middle school kids who are forced to defend their town when it is invaded by the Universal monsters – Dracula, Frankenstein, Wold\fman, Mummy, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Dekker has also worked on the Robocop and Star Trek franchises and he and Shane Black are currently working on the reboot of the Predator franchise.
