It's crazy that 15 years later the aesthetic influence of GRINDHOUSE lives on. I'll likely fast forward to the Man-Thing scenes regardless but if the actual show is all done in this mock "schlock" style I'm out. My guess is that they'll do this WANDAVISION style with each episode paying homage to a different era of horror flicks and that show irritated me quite a bit, so this is probably not for me.Now everyone can have a complete KRULL lifestyle.

I don't see ANY post GRIND HOUSE QTism stuff here, curious as to that. It does nod to Universal heavily though, with the sets and b&w "film", which is a great thing.
Also seems like a safe toe in the bog water for D+, doing a one off...then waiting for fans to clamor for more.
I'm in too. Looking forward to this!

This WEREWOLF BY NIGHT trailer begins with a pseudo 70's Movie of The Week presentation sting, which led me to think we're going to be getting nods to differing eras and styles of horror, meaning a little 1940's Universal, a little 70's drive-in, some 80's gore. It all feels like, visually, they're attempting a throwback mash-up. Personally, it feels forced and way behind the times.

Not for nothing, but this comes from the MSN article about this movie:
"The first trailer for Werewolf by Night is in black and white, and oozes grindhouse movie vibes"
What people consider "grindhouse" now is very much rooted in the Tarantino/Rodriguez picture (it might even be safe to say that there's even a sense that Rodriguez' SIN CITY is a "grindhouse" flick), compounded by a misunderstanding that "grindhouse" isn't a genre, although it's arguably become one, in a vague way.
In Atlanta there's a chain of hamburger joints called Grind House Killer Burgers. Judging by their signage they believe 40's Noir and 50's Sci-Fi constitute grindhouse.
While listening to a comic book podcast one of the hosts said this illustration by Gerardo Zaffino was a "grindhouse" version of Harley Quinn...
Its a broad catch-all for a certain aesthetic and I would wager decent money that when the Disney+ people sat down to make this trailer, someone in the room said "Let's give this a GRINDHOUSE feel"Last edited by Toyboy; 09-16-2022, 12:33 PM.Now everyone can have a complete KRULL lifestyle.

Grindhouse is the most misused term in film. It's a venue not a style. I grew up in Baltimore and later Oakland and grew up in the cheapie theaters as a poor kid. THE ROXIE in downtown Oakland where The Mack had it's world premiere was my living room slash church, lol. My nickname there was simply White Boy. God I miss that place. I will have to post some stories about that place soon, just haaaate typing on a dang phone.
It's complicated but let's just say I don't like QT...at all.

This looks like big fun to me, especially since it just has to sustain the gag for a Halloween special rather than an ongoing series or feature film. I thought the TV special opening logo was a particularly nice touch. And, hey, Werewolf By Night apparently includes Else Bloodstone, so if nothing else this gets us a bit closer to having Nextwave in the MCU.
