I got to work on this set. I was working on all of the outdoor night scenes. Let me be perfectly honest, the flaming tuba playing at 3AM is extremely creepy and one of the most ominous things I’ve ever heard in the woods.

The biggest thing i took away from it is that Michael Giachino can direct and deserves a shot at a feature length film. I really think he could nail Blade after watching this

8:04 “He who knows fear burns at the Man-Things touch.” Is essentially his power set. He is also a nexus guardian to the gateway of the multiverse in the Everglades, which is where a tear into the multiverse resides. Dr Theodore Sallis was experimenting on super soldier serum, so that’s how he connects to the MCU in some capacity. Jack Russell’s werewolf design was very accurate and reminiscent to his design the old comics with his first appearance. Fun fact: moon knight debuted in a werewolf by night comic to hunt Jack down! Perhaps we could see them cross paths at some point down the line.

I love how when he isn't in his werewolf form he is almost entirely pacifist, he even struggles to use the little bomb. Lol if they continue to use the character I REALLY hope they keep that aspect of him, that he is a bumbling pacifist if he isn't in his werewolf form.

In case someone doesn't know. Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal grew up acting together since they were kids. And have become like brothers. So proud to see them both thrive, Charolastras for life!

Elsa Bloodstone was the standout for me! Always wondered how’d she be interpreted on screen after reading her in comics and seeing her in video games. They nailed it! Also get this guy to direct anything supernatural in the MCU he’s proved he can handle it!

It's so nice to finally see a Marvel project with mostly positive feedback again!

This special was an appreciation for older horror films. Some people unfamiliar with the charm of those older films probably won’t get the idea and think it’s amazing but it was really cool imo. Can’t wait to see this director do more stuff.

Definitely a breath of fresh air, the cinematography, acting and atmosphere brought this short to life and to bring in more of the supernatural side of the MCU. Keep at this Feige and Disney💯

GGB is a great charismatic actor. Def want to see him again in the MCU

Show is so good. Marvel needs more serious entries like this

I liked the part where Elsa said " not by him" in reference to her lack of monster hunting training, and then later busted out some Shield/ black widow moves in some of the fight scenes, indicating she probably passed through shield at some point 🙂

This special has no right being this good, such an amazing one off

An hour special that's better than the entire season of She-Hulk.

It was amazing. Love that black & white are kinda trending again. Especially the monster era.

10:56 I believe all the monsters that they had slain and even captured (the Man-thing especially, despite of their competency), is due to the use of the bloodstone. It is a very powerful relic that is able to control and kill any monsters, hence why the desire to have it in their possession of hunters and the family itself after the owner had died. Also, since the wife/widow isn't the recognised owner i guess she couldn't use the bloodstone to its utmost potential which is why it took her so long to try and kill werewolf.

It was so good because it wasn’t trying to be something it didn’t have to be! It told a simple story, with really good acting & action!

It might be hard to believe but Man-Thing is The Guardian of all Realities YES in some respects he's MORE POWERFUL than The Scarlet Witch but in ways that are different than her and "All who know FEAR burn at the touch of Man-Thing" is the tagline for his character in the comics

Best thing to come out of Phase 4 imo, this was great. Could’ve been longer but it’s very well directed, there’s a lot of atmosphere, & introducing some great characters from the comics, I was impressed how much they accomplished with the short runtime

I loved it. An unexpected unique seasonally appropriate special. I love stylish stuff like this, film noir, classic film , so this hit all the marks for me. 👍👍

Blade has been put on hold. Production has stopped due to the cluster it has become. It’ll probably be shelved since they lost the director and having to start over the script. The guy playing Blade is also ready to walk.

To be fair, Ulysses was the ultimate monster hunter and did most the kills of the heads in the house. The ritual was to find a replacement -- and the Bloodstone is what made the master hunter so badass. That is how they captured Man-Thing. Notice how the monster had to be weakened for these hunters -- they probably only fought B-team monsters in the past.

Elsa Bloodstone is actually a well known character in the Marvel Monster verse. More people knew of her over Ms. Marvel. She has been a playable character in a number of Marvel games.

Really enjoyed this special. The look, tone, acting and story were all great. I hope we see more of this.

Best thing marvel put out in a VERY long time, Man-Thing was amazing and having the practical effect not being all CGI was great.

HUGE FAN MAN, BEEN SINCE I WAS LIKE 10, YOURE LIKE ONE OF THE ONLY KZfaqRS THAT I CAN COMPLETELY RELATE TO. PPRECIATE YOU, AND KEEP UP THE GOODSHIT

Now all I need is the Punisher, Ghost Rider, Dracula, and Blade and I'm good. I'm glad they are doing more of the mystikal supernatural heroes, to mix it up a little. I hope they do Midnight Suns or the Howling Commandos

I'd love to see Moon Knight make a cameo if this becomes a yearly thing

This might be a hot take, but I think this is the best Disney+ exclusive Marvel content. I absolutely loved this.

I'm just happy some companies still release scary/horror/dark movies around Halloween. Seems like all the good movies of that category always get released in March and April.

I’m hoping they keep up with it,the premise was fun and I really enjoyed the homage to universal black and white era. Would I’ve to see more and thought the black and white aided the cgi and special effects in a great way, they used lighting in a fun way that enhanced the action scenes greatly

Man Thing actually debuted a month before Swamp Thing did.

I liked this a lot! I am glad they went with the classic wolfman look instead of what I would have liked (a Dog-Soldiers-like werewolf). I used to read the comics when I was a kid, but I barely remember anything from them.

It was good. That is all.

I really dug this and I don't even know if it needs to connect to the greater MCU. Im perfectly fine if this is just its own thing and these characters don't rush to cross paths with Sam Wilson or Bruce Banner anytime soon.

Definitely could’ve benefited from a two-part special, something that could’ve flushed out these characters a little bit more. Instead of Elsa’s relationship with her father being told to us the other characters they could’ve spent the first part showing us their relationship via Italian horror like flashbacks. Other than that it was very good

The bloodstone was like the Ruby slippers in this film and there were nods to The Wizard of Oz through-out, hence the use of Over The Rainbow.

Clicked as fast as I could, I was waiting for the guys to review this ! Wishing they’d review The barbarian Terrifier 2

Jack Russell was good. Wolfman. Ted the Man-Thing. Awesome.

I believe this is an origin story for the Howling Commandos from the comics, which basically was a WW2 superhero squad comprised of Halloween monsters and Wolverine.

I hope Marvel and Michael Giacchino make a Manthing prequel special presentation and explore how Ted Sallis became the Man thing it could be a tragic origin story about that character and eventually make a full 2 hour black and white legion of monsters or Midnight Sons movie that releases theatrically it could be such a great unique cinema going experience man the cast could include Elsa bloodstone, jack Russell werewolf by night, Man thing, blade, Moon Knight, ghost Rider, Agatha harkness and Wong since Doctor Strange is busy with Clea in the dark dimension

I really enjoyed this idea of a short film special for new characters. I’m also really satisfied with the content itself too. It was succinct but did a lot of good things at the same time. They should do this formula for more characters because I think it forces them to not pad everything out to over 2 hours like every Marvel movie since Endgame was massively long.

The Bloodstone? There's only one Bloodstone I know and that's from the Subspecies quadrilogy. The Bloodstone is a crystal that drips the blood of the saints. It was gifted to the last king of the vampires in order to secure peace between vampires and humans. But the king's eldest son was discontent with peace and stole the Bloodstone after murdering his father. If you want the full story, i suggest you watch the Subspecies films.

This was pretty good. I enjoyed the cinematography and the direction in this special. If you don't think too hard about it, it's an enjoyable watch.

Mane i love this lil special, i thought it was off the chain, I wish it was a TV show because this reminded me of the WolfMan movie. I hope they do the howling Commandos, like in the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon show, especially with Blade in the MCU, they can do the supernatural superheroes

I would give it a 8 out of 10 if it wasn't in the mcu. I think it deserves an extra point for jumping straight into the craziness and not forcing connections to other properties. As well as solid introductions to Elsa, man thing and Jack himself... It could have so easily been a generic origin story like half of the "first movies" for mcu characters. It exceeded my expectations

It was pretty good I liked the style of it this should be the way they do some of their D+ projects

As a fan of UA3, I'm interested in watching this as I kind of want to know how they handle Elsa. Finding comic information on her is near impossible for me so this would be a first introduction.

I loved this film. Amazing what a little love and creativity can do. No politics just great entertainment. More of this please.

I would be down to have one of these Halloween specials from marvel every year just for October about hour long perfect length

Werewolf By Night just like Shang-Chi is such a hugely underrated cult classic Marvel character. So great to see him finally debut in The MCU and them doing it in a classic Universal Horror B&W style was so fantastic to see. Hopefully we see more of Gael Garcia Bernal's Jack Russell & Laura Donelley's Elsa Bloodstone in future MCU projects. Put them in a Midnight Sons movie with Blade, Black Knight & Doctor Strange please.

I watch 31 movies for the month of October every year and so far of everything I've watched this year, three have received a 9: Peeping Tom (1960), The Lighthouse (2019), and Werewolf by Night.

That special could be a prequel to the Howling Commandos. Shield's monster squad. 😁

This was by far my favorite thing Marvel has released in a while! And I’m not even that big of a horror fan, but I really dug this a lot just for being something refreshing.

I had never heard of this Marvel character so I looked it up on comic vine. Its a very interesting read. I might watch this and see if it's as interesting as it's comics sound. Edit: About the look: Werewolf by night has stages in the comic apparently, but mostly looks like the Wolfman from the 30s. So, more than being an interesting choice this is comic accurate.

Love how Joe’s excessively long opening animations sync up perfectly with the KZfaq app’s “Skip 10 Seconds” double-tap feature, lmao

I really wish I enjoyed this as much as others did. I appreciate the uniqueness of it but it fell flat because of the MCU humor for me. I thought man thing being a big cute creature was stupid as hell and took me out of it. I also thought it took too long to get to the werewolf part that the title of it was called. We get like 15 mins out of the 50 mins special of werewolf action and it’s nothing creepy or suspenseful. I was super excited for this special but ultimately disappointed me.

Growing up in the 80's I was obsessed with watching old black and white horror movies from the 30s- 40s. Werewolf by Night was totally up my street. I f**king loved this thing! Kudos to all at Disney involved in creating it!

Well they are doing the Midnight Sons team at some point and the Moon Knight actor said he wants to do Midnight Sons with Moon Knight, Blade, Punisher, Daredevil and Ghost Rider

I hope they use man thing in the thunderbolts like they did in the comics! He could teleport in the comics so they used him to get to missions!

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🐺🐺🐺🐺 Also Man-Thing was Adorably Frightening!

I just finished watching Werewolf by Night. It was awesome. It would be great to see Elsa and Blade meet-up in the sometime soon. It is nice to see Marvel finally give us some dismemberment, a good amount of blood and cool death scenes. I don't understand why this was chosen as a special, instead of a series. I definitely want more. I would rate this either 1 or 2 spot with Loki. Knowing the conclusion of Wanda's story in Dr. Strange and The Multiverse of Madness i would bump down WandaVision. Falcon and Winter Soldier would be 3rd then Hawkeye with Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk being at the bottom.

As a classic movie fan this has easily become one of my favorites, loved every second of Werewolf by Night and especially bringing back the Lon Chaney Jr. style werewolf.

Joes: love it Alex: Meh

wasnt too bad, just wish the special were longer or make it into a series. Man-Thing was cool.

This is a 9/10 for me (extra point for the good old practical effect stuff and the 1930's theme). I was getting tired of the CGI-fested movies as of late and this was a great refresher.

We need to get Joe a ManThing plushie.

I’m really hoping this is the jump off point of the Midnight Sons stuff that’s been rumored. This is def a stand out in the Disney plus Marvel-Scape. I want marvel to dig into the dark side of the hero stuff, the campy avengers style shows and movies feel so stale and similar, more of this is what marvel needs.

I loved the simple werewolf effect

It's not Hammer Horror Joe. That was farther down the line during the era of color films. This, by the directors own words, was a callback to the 30's and 40s Universal Era.

It was the opening for the midnight sons and I can't wait

My favorite thing was when it went to technicolor at the end like the wizard of oz, and that song started playing lol. I thought that was an endearing choice.

joe mixed up hammer horror with classic 30s monsters flicks right off the bat lol

Anyone thinking they’re setting up Midnight Suns? A ton of the team’s members have already been introduced or are slated to be introduced and the video game is coming out

I seen people speculate they could do a midnight suns team up with this and other characters

I am too salty that Moon Knight isn’t in it to watch it, but it’s cool that everyone enjoys it. Seeing that Elsa Bloodstone is in it tho, might get me to tune in.

I thought WBN was pretty ok, great special & practical effects, good acting, hope to see more.

i wonder if the bloodstone is actually the soul infinity stone

I thought he was going to rip the old ladies arm off when he yanked her in...that was a miss fire but the rest was dope

A very fair verdict on this one. As an uber-Marvel fan, I'd love to give all the work solid 10s, but that's just not feasible in any fandom, haha. I love the Werewolf-By Night character, and I hope this eventually leads to the introduction of the SHIELD Monster Squad (or the New Howling Commandos) at some point. "He who knows fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch" :D wish that got inputted somewhere, but it's still cool that Man-Thing was there at all. Truly a lovable character, and would actually be a great addition with the Multiverse beginning to fracture as he is the Guardian of the Nexus of Worlds. I wasn't 100% on Elsa Bloodstone, though...but eh...I guess I didn't hate her.

the director made the soundtrack for incredibles, like that movie, it’s a homage to classic neo film noir era

are they not going to react to the 2nd trailer of BP 2?

You should review Rob Zombie's new Munsters film. It's on Netflix right now

Is a huge fan of Werewolf by Night comics and owning a lot of them I say they did this right. Now we need to see Marvel Dracula and Werewolf by Night definitely Moon Knight versus WBN. Is it also be a great segue to Marvel monsters which included Man Thing, Ghost Rider, Morbius and WBN.

I think it’s crazy to see werewolves and man-thing connected to the original Iron Man film. How far we’ve come

So i totally went and watched this after the first few minutes of this video and it really was pretty good, they could've even made it a little bit longer if they wanted but overall it was a pretty interesting and enjoyable program. 😄👍

I really enjoyed watching it although I'm bias cuz wearwolves are my favorite monsters, I hope they do a annual thing with these characters

This was way better than I thought it was going to be

It was simple, charming, and gorry. I loved it.

Looking forward to watching this one sounds like a good watch, hopefully leads into a "War Wolf" solo "origin" movie

Did anyone pick up on Jack Russell being a dog reference for a werewolf?

13:44 I believe it was a door to the maze. And because the maze has a hole in it Jack got out.

So what was the score for the review?

If they do this again...I really hope we get a Moonknight cameo or at least one of his personalities. P.s Man-Thing first appearance was before Swamp thing ... By just two months... Seriously.

When is Warwolf or J Jonahs son wolf transformation on the big screen?

I hope Michael Giacchino makes a full 2 hour long black and white theatrical film based on the Legion of Monsters or the Midnight Sons

Alex is that one professor that will never give you a 100 on anything no matter what, because you can "always do better"

guys you gotta review terrifier 2. watch it in theatres if you can. would love to hear your thoughts on it

Can’t believe you guys haven’t covered Smile yet

Have you ever watched 50 shades of Gray if so can you do a review for me?? I'd love to see your take on it
