A last minute entry to the October Horrors this year. I was able to watch this on a bus ride to the States and was very impressed with it overall. It has humour, gore, great makeup effects and just about everything one might want for a halloween special. Added to that, it was exceptionally made. It wasn't just in black and white but also used period Universal Studios classic horror titles and compositions. Apparently it was filmed digitally, then transferred to film and scanned back in to give it that old film look. The pain they took to make the details, no matter how obscure seem authentic really should praised.
The story is short (one hour) and simple. A group of monster hunters are competing for "the bloodstone" and the right to lead the monsters hunters after the recent death of the current head of the group. I didn't recognize 90% of the characters and that is probably good since, well, they mostly don't last long. It's pretty gory for aMarvel and Disney Plus show but still had humour and characters you get familiar enough with to think you know more about then than you do. The transformation scene is amazing and the added bonus of "Man Thing" (both creatures mostly done by custom and makeup) really made this special.
