Ohhh one of my favorites

Tedsallis2025-10-07 16:51

The best one, obviously.

Ubergoober1662025-10-07 17:01

The guardians Christmas special was pretty great too, though.

Tedsallis2025-10-07 17:03

It didn’t have Man-Thing so I hate it.

Spicy_Weissy2025-10-07 17:30

It has Kevin Bacon

backstreetboyd2025-10-07 18:48

Reading this comment and then noticing your username was a very rewarding experience

ChrisUAP2025-10-07 16:52

Crazy to me nobody in this even showed up ever again. I mean not even for what if or marvel zombies. Shame. Hope to see man-thing again soon.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-07 16:54

I think the idea is that the supernatural characters will eventually return in the next saga.

RYTHEMOPARGUY2025-10-07 17:27

Honestly, I'd be fine if they kept doing classic creature feature style specials for all of the supernatural characters

yuvi30002025-10-07 20:50

Can't believe N'kantu, the Living Mummy, didn't get the next Halloween special presentation. He'd better come in soon.

OneAngryDuck2025-10-07 17:08

I wanted a zombified werewolf so bad

Cardinal_and_Plum2025-10-07 17:43

Ever again feels a little hyperbolic for something that's only 3 years old imo.

Mainzerize2025-10-07 19:28

By now you have to rewatch half of Disney plus if you want to refresh your memory before these characters appear in a movie again. The MCU is too bloated at this point and I’m glad some shows remain stand alone and awesome as is

ultranonymous112025-10-08 02:01

Is it? Are comics as a medium bloated? There are a ton of series and one-shots and crossovers and all sorts of interconnected stories. But you don’t have to read them all. You can pick the ones you like, and you’ll just miss out on some stuff. I really hate this argument that there is too much. Just watch less if you don’t want. For some, this is the coolest fucking thing ever. Child me could have never imagined the MCU as it exists today. Amazing to me imo.

Mainzerize2025-10-08 07:18

I totally agree, as a fan from day one. By now we are 20 years into the MCU with 200 hours of runtime. And that doesn’t include the Spider-Man movies, Agents of shield and so on.

Marvel should’ve made a clear cut after the infinity saga. From there, create new Stories with all new characters etc. with all this being connected, it gets harder and harder to a) keep up and b) make this monster of a franchise appealing to potential new fans.

DynastyZealot2025-10-07 19:10

I'm still hoping to see Elsa with Nextwave some day ...

Dazzling-Incident1432025-10-07 20:05

Fumny Mustache Zoro-type sword guy came out in DareDevil Born Again

Up-in-the-Ayre2025-10-07 20:34

The fact that there is no creature feature for THIS HALLOWEEN, shows how misplanned the MCU is right now.

The "horror" characters having a slot in October should be cast in stone.

_Levitated_Shield_2025-10-07 21:01

Zombies?

CaptHayfever2025-10-07 21:37

Zombies.

Up-in-the-Ayre2025-10-07 22:02

I meant "live action" but you're right, Zombies does fit the bill.

epic_reddit_dude2025-10-08 02:24

Maybe they can have a small cameo or something in secret wars. Maybe battleworld can have a spooky Halloween zone

LoreMaster002025-10-08 04:37

its because the Blade movie never happened. if it did, i'm sure we'd see those guys there.

usmannaeem2025-10-07 17:00

Enjoyed watching it in both color and black and white.

_________FU_________2025-10-07 17:08

They made a color version?

usmannaeem2025-10-07 17:09

Yes

Spicy_Weissy2025-10-07 17:31

Yeah. Philistines complained. Whatever, I get it. The BnW version is better though.

dziggurat2025-10-07 17:40

At least they went stylized with the color that gave it a grindhouse feeling.

Spicy_Weissy2025-10-07 17:56

Thats true. TBH, I dont remember th3 color version as well. I might have been drunk. Tis the season for spookies, though! Ill give it a rewatch.

dziggurat2025-10-07 19:06

I've probably watched it a dozen times in B&W and only twice in color so I'm with you on that. It's a fun little variation but doesn't quite have the same feeling.

usmannaeem2025-10-07 18:03

Thats exactly what I liked about the color version. That CRT tv feel. They should a Blade feature like it.

WispyBits2025-10-07 17:00

Hoping Jack, Elsa and Ted show up in Midnight Sons

FerrusManlyManus2025-10-07 18:38

Hoping Midnight Sons actually happens

EEDDDWWWAARRRD2025-10-07 17:00

In an ideal world, we would've had yearly Halloween specials that could've eventually culminated in Midnight Suns

rabbihimself2025-10-07 17:04

Few things would make me happier.

Mr_G302025-10-07 17:33

Each paying homage to the genre. N’kantu paying homage to the mummy movies of the nineties, night stalkers paying homage to vampire movies, manphibian paying homage to the creature of the black lagoon etc. I guess that’s more legion of monsters but you can throw in characters like Doctor Voodoo, Blade, Ghost rider and have Elsa starring in all of them

dziggurat2025-10-07 17:40

I say this every time it comes up but a Carter Slade special that's an homage to the very popular westerns of the past would be incredible.

Mr_G302025-10-07 17:43

Yes, bring all the western characters in. Go real weird with the multiversal concept

epic_reddit_dude2025-10-08 02:21

That sounds pretty sick

PhortDruid2025-10-07 17:56

That’d be sick. I was really excited for that game before learning that it was a card game.

SlowRoastBro2025-10-07 18:12

Yes, such a great idea.

BackgroundEngineer112025-10-07 21:30

My thoughts exactly

epic_reddit_dude2025-10-08 02:19

I thought midnight suns was more of just a supernatural thing, not specifically Halloween characters

Darth_Tycho2025-10-08 09:41

Hell yes. A Blade movie would be fire, but at this point just give us a Special Presentation. That'd be good enough

LASKINATOR2025-10-07 17:01

Wow i havent watched anything marvel related in over 3 years?!

faroukq2025-10-07 17:04

Same for me. Watched secret invasion and decided that following marvel want with it anymore. The only other movie that I watched was d&w

Sunny-Chameleon2025-10-07 17:26

Fantastic Four was pretty good. Brave New world... Not so much. Thunderbolts was great

Live_Answer_38752025-10-07 18:27

Want with it?? Wtf

faroukq2025-10-07 18:30

Fuck swipe typing. Wasn't worth it

Responsible-Pain-6202025-10-07 17:05

This is still one of my most absolute favorite MCU projects and I beg marvel to please do a follow up!

Sue_Generoux2025-10-07 17:08

Meh.

rabbihimself2025-10-07 17:11

Probably the best one-off the MCU currently has.

mattym92872025-10-07 17:12

It’s such a shame that they haven’t really done any more of these one shots, until punisher, and these characters have been sort of forgotten. Justice for Ted.

GalaxyStrong2025-10-07 17:13

I can't believe we have not gotten another Marvel Halloween special like werewolf by night again. It's tragic!!!

Cardinal_and_Plum2025-10-07 17:45

Agatha felt similar. Not the same structure but it scratched that itch.

FerrusManlyManus2025-10-07 18:38

Weren’t they going to have a separate TV movie but then that mostly became the last episode?

Cardinal_and_Plum2025-10-07 18:39

That's what rumors said. I don't know if anyone from Marvel ever said that though.

CaptHayfever2025-10-07 21:46

And then Zombies this year.

I'm pretty sure Blade was intended to be the "Halloween special" for 2023, but it kept getting pushed back.

Toprak15522025-10-08 22:26

This and GotG Holiday Special were definitely a step in the right direction and a great way to utilize D+. They didn't have any important effect on the movies but offered some quality time celebrating something. I'd love many more of these instead of almost every D+ show we had so far.

Illustrious-Sign30152025-10-07 17:14

I hope we see the Midnight Sons in the MCU!

beenfarken2025-10-07 17:15

I just hope we get a supernatural corner of the MCU after the rumored soft reboot after secret wars.

dcooper86622025-10-07 17:16

This was such a surprise when it dropped. Was it known that they were making this? If so I somehow missed everything leading up to it. I want a bazillion more of these

GreenLynx11112025-10-07 17:20

It was awesome. And Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special was good. So I'm looking very forward to the next one. Nova, right?

MrKnightMoon2025-10-07 17:24

Don't count on it.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-07 17:47

The next special is the Punisher next year

GreenLynx11112025-10-07 18:31

Ah, ok, they changed direction. Thanks.

Cardinal_and_Plum2025-10-07 17:49

Punisher

Dbonker2025-10-07 17:21

3 years already??? Crazy.

PissNBiscuits2025-10-07 17:21

Marvel Studios has really dropped the ball on the supernatural side of the MCU. After Ironheart, I'm cautiously optimistic for future plans, but I really hope they bring these characters back soon and lean the fuck into the weird shit.

foulpudding2025-10-07 17:25

IMHO the best Marvel movie or close to it.

Spicy_Weissy2025-10-07 17:29

So fucking dope.

shirtninja072025-10-07 17:32

This was a really fun special. I wish we had more of it.

Mr_G302025-10-07 17:33

A yearly Halloween tradition for me. Would have loved them to expand to the rest of the midnight sons and the legion of monsters

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-07 17:35

Fantastic movie. And we these characters back.

Brookings182025-10-07 17:38

I am still upset specials for other Marvel Horror characters didn't become a thing. I want my Tomb of Dracula special dammit!

HereWeFuckingGooo2025-10-07 17:39

The Special Presentations could have been utilised so much better. It's such a shame they dropped the ball so hard.

Cardinal_and_Plum2025-10-07 17:50

Why could have been and not could be?

NaiRad10002025-10-07 17:39

It sooo good

vroart2025-10-07 17:40

Not gonna lie, Elisa Bloodstone is at least known by Deadpool fans and Nextwave fans…. She came off almost unrecognizable!

BartleBossy2025-10-07 17:40

Best project in the phase.

One of the rare >9/10 MCU product.

CaleBoi252025-10-07 17:47

Oh yeah, I still need to watch that lol

levcore2025-10-07 17:50

Can't remember anything about it

Top_Ad_1042025-10-07 17:51

I need this on steelbook. Disney please

TheMoorNextDoor2025-10-07 17:52

Between these guys and Shang Chi, marvel really dropped the ball.

Moon Knight as well too.

You had the ability to make so much money with Ted, and you just squandered it.

edwpad2025-10-07 17:54

One of the most under the radar yet amazing projects they’ve done. Sad shame it doesn’t get much attention, cause man was it a blast to watch!

Cultural_Comfort58942025-10-07 17:55

Strike. Pandemic. Reclaiming Fox IP’s.

Annual Halloween or whatever would be great.

But, I like that the MCU doesn’t force it.

Feige is as big a fan as anyone but has to deal with the realities. Want to, should, could etc.

Kevin Feige has repeatedly stated that Marvel Studios prioritizes passion when developing projects, believing that movies created by filmmakers and actors who are personally invested in the material are what resonate with audiences. This is considered a foundational principle of the studio's approach to filmmaking.

AroundThe_World2025-10-07 17:56

It's been constantly said, it's a shame the reasons why they stopped doing these (outside of the upcoming punisher special) is probably because they got relatively low viewership despite their critical acclaim. It's a shame because these specials are perfect for lower-tier characters who cant carry a TV show or movie. I would've to see one about Blue Marvel, Squirrel Girl, or Slapstick.

Syjefroi2025-10-07 17:58

I'm not sure what the direction of the MCU has been post-Endgame but two things come to mind right now: 1) Werewolf by Night was great, and 2) Creature Commandos came out after Werewolf and showed how "easy" it would be to do a Midnight Suns thing, so I'm baffled why Werewolf, Moon Knight, etc. have just disappeared into the void.

Illustrious-Coat35322025-10-07 18:12

Kevin was trying to do too much at once. But I loved this marvel spotlight.

hokagenaruto2025-10-07 18:16

still wish Elsa Bloodstone looked more like she does in the comics but instead of looking like jessica jones....

Legitimate-Being59572025-10-07 18:20

Wow, I completely forgot this existed. Never saw it mentioned anywhere.

BeastMode2k242025-10-07 18:22

We’ll be getting our next one here real soon with Punisher

gampamrattazong452025-10-07 18:22

I still love this oldschool werewolf design

AdditionalBanana95852025-10-07 18:40

Huh? It premiered on the 25th of September.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-07 21:14

That was an advanced screening. It released on Disney+ October 7 2022.

discountdoppelganger2025-10-07 19:00

Elsa please

Corbz2732025-10-07 19:29

Please give this a physical release with both the B&W and color versions, as well as the Director by Night documentary, and any other behind-the-scenes materials

DTran7292025-10-07 19:51

Wish they did more like this! Werewolf by Night needs to be in more productions.

Seankmurphy822025-10-07 19:54

I still watch this every Halloween season multiple times. This formula is what they should have been doing instead of most of the shows. Simple, entertaining, practical effects, great story and introduction, and leaves the door open for more.

urtseasame2025-10-07 20:00

Loved that flick, we need a follow up and more like it, right fucking now marvel

KWash02222025-10-07 20:22

It’s on my yearly Halloween watchlist and easily one of my faves

LCH442025-10-07 20:30

And then nothing happened

TaibhseCait2025-10-07 20:55

Huh forgot I haven't seen it!
Gotta add it to the list of marvel stuff I do want to watch that I haven't gotten to yet!

ProZach822025-10-07 21:13

I just rewatched it the other night. I really liked it. Thought maybe they could do a yearly Halloween/October release of a new show or special in the same universe.

[deleted]2025-10-07 21:17

[deleted]

ProZach822025-10-07 21:19

True but I was meaning following this story line.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-07 21:20

Seems like they have been trying to get annual Halloween events. Marvel Zombies was pushed to this year because Agatha took last year's Halloween spot. And they released Werewolf by Night in Color in 2023. So we basically have had something for Halloween every year.

Prior-Net80302025-10-07 21:25

So underrated

invaderdavos2025-10-07 22:48

Ive been expecting yearly xmas and halloween specials since

shockinglyunoriginal2025-10-08 00:14

It’s awesome. I can’t believe they just didnt do anything with this.

BarnOscarsson2025-10-08 01:53

Thank you!

Now I know what to watch tonight.

DuckyHornet2025-10-08 02:01

It was fine. They were going for a cheesy low-budget horror feel and they got it well enough

I just want to see the Man-Thing again, I don't care about the rest

Goth_Angel_Hellboy2025-10-08 02:25

Who ?

Mickeyjj272025-10-08 03:10

Really loved it. I’m someone with no knowledge of Werewolf by Night so it was nice to get introduced. Know of Man Thing and Elsa so was nice seeing them introduced.

Shame we haven’t seen em again but then again you’d need a reason to see them again and we really haven’t done much with that side of the world.

nichrs2025-10-09 05:04

Laura Donnelly: "Outlander, find another actress, I quit, I'm a Marvel star now."

bookdrops2025-10-09 09:09

Loved this special, especially in its black-and-white form. I'd love to see all the characters again.
