The Monster Squad is one of my favorite horror films. It's a really fun and scary movie for the whole family (maybe not for really young kids, though). It's a more supernatural version of the Goonies that was released in 1987.
The opening scene takes place a hundred years prior, where Van Helsing and his fearless vampire killers are storming Dracula's castle. As soon as he and his men seize the place, Van Helsing calls for somebody to come inside.
A barefoot peasant girl is escorted inside the castle, and we get a very nice shot of her bare feet navigating the debris on the floor.
The peasant girl, played by actress Sonia Curtis, is brought in to read from an ancient book that will close the magical portal that Dracula has set up in his pad.
Of course, things don't go well, or else there would be no need to continue with the rest of the movie. The Monster Squad is highly recommended watch for either this upcoming Halloween season (or anytime, really) as a loving ode to monster movies and all things spooky.
