Inspector Lohmann is approached by a group of kids who have spotted a new rise in monsters in their area, to which he doesn't believe them. Until one night, one of the kids mysteriously disappears before prompting a full investigation. Meanwhile, the devil himself pits four doctors possessing superior knowledge amongst each other (Rotwang, Caligari, Mabuse and Moreau) as they all plot world domination using their own unique monster creations. Creating an ultimate fight in the name of science vs the supernatural. Can Lohmann and the Monster Squad take on Satan and some frightening foes? NOTE: A potential horror reboot to the original 1987 film, but instead rebooting it with unappreciated monsters that are overshadowed by the typical Universal monsters (huge fan of them and love the universal monsters). The monsters are replaced with old silent horror/unrecognized film monsters that seem to have been unfortunately forgotten about and would be cool if it actually happened as a team up movie... Essentially this treatment is about 5 times bigger as a crossover tv series than the original and makes many references and nods that hardcore film/ horror buffs could recognize and appreciate. Crossovers: -Nosferatu -Metropolis -The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari -Phantom of the Opera -Haxan -Faust -The Hunchback of Notre Dame -The Golem series -The Island of Dr Moreau -Dr Mabuse movies
