Something I'm curious about, other then Elsa, Jack and Man-Thing, were any of the characters in this from the comics? Or were they all made up for the special? I can't find anything on who they might've been based on in any of the normal places.

My favorite thing about this was that Bloodstone was the name of the deceased hunter, his widow, his daughter, the manor the story is in, and the magical macguffin that they’re trying to win.
Calm down guys.

Though how he is handled here was certainly a choice because comics Ulysses… {Spoiler}is immortal as long as he has the Bloodstone embedded in his body, and he was immune to aging, diseases, didn’t need to eat, drink, or even breathe, and had a rather high regenerative healing factor, so him being dead at all was…unique to say the least.

Yeah, I knew about Ulysses. Forgot about him when I was making my post. I'm more interested in the other monster hunters in the special. Were any of them from the comics?

But I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they eventually become another example of characters added to the comics from the MCU. They had some really distinct and cool designs and it isn’t like the supernatural side of Marvel can’t use more hunters.

My one little gripe (and they might have said it and I missed it somehow) but they made a tribute to old Universal horror…the old Man-Thing tagline “Whoever knows fear BURNS at the touch of Man-Thing” sounds like something right out of those movies…but I don’t remember anyone saying it in this.

I don't think he's even referred to as "Man-Thing" at all in this. He's just largely called by his human name of "Ted".

The line would have definitely fit the vibe perfectly.

Just got around to watching this, really enjoyed it. Hope they do more with Elsa Bloodstone in the future (fun fact, two out of four members of Nextwave are in the MCU now, not that I see them ever pulling the trigger on that little bit of wackiness).
Only thing I really have to add is, in a phase where the CGI has been... less than stellar, real sets and practical effects made for a nice change of pace.

What if some film making maverick decided to make a horror movie called "Werewolf By Day" instead.
It could show the werewolf going to his job at some random office building where he has to wear a suit and tie and deal with annoying coworkers and stubborn copy machines all day.

Watched the colorized version, kinda disappointed in how they colorized it. I was hoping they'd make it looks grainier with more muted colors, make it actually look like an old Hammer movie from the 60's. Instead it's just everything in normal color.
Oh well, still hope Elsa shows up in a future Marvel project.
