What We Do within the Shadows’ Closing Episode Has Some ‘Secret’ Alternate Endings

“The Finale,” the final episode of What We Do in the Shadows after six killer seasons, closed up store with the added bonus of a few false endings. Did you get to see all of the footage and drain each final drop of blood from the beloved vampire comedy‘s corpse? You’re lacking out in case you didn’t!

When you turned off your stream proper when the credit for “The Finale” started, you’d have missed a really humorous scene with Guillermo and Nandor, through which Nandor demonstrates his superhero goals weren’t only a bunch of bullshit speak. And after that, there’s an also-very-funny scene with the vampires watching a clip from the What We Do within the Shadows pilot and reacting with anticipated snarkiness.

However! Rewind to a bit earlier within the episode, when Nadja “hypnotizes” the viewer by means of the digital camera, ordering them to think about the easiest ending for his or her documentary—a meta-wink on the ending of What We Do within the Shadows itself. Once I considered the press screener offered by FX, the episode then leaps right into a parody of The Common Suspects, as I described in my recap.

However after I was re-watching the episode on Hulu, I used to be shocked and delighted to see a distinct “hypnosis-induced” ending: Nandor and Guillermo waking up collectively in mattress, which was already a really enjoyable sight to see earlier than I spotted What We Do within the Shadows was aping the legendary “it was all a dream” ending of Newhart.

My pleasure tripled after I realized there was a 3rd choice: a spot-on recreation of the top of Rosemary’s Child, besides this time you get to see the demonic child, and it’s wonderful. Hail Devil!

To observe all three parodies and have your self a Clue-style “what if?” extravaganza, you want solely navigate to the “Further Hypnosis Options” subsequent to the “Episodes” tab on the Hulu menu for the present. Nadja even pops as much as introduce the segments.

You possibly can watch all six seasons of What We Do within the Shadows on Hulu now. And right here’s one final Jackie Daytona image, for the recollections. Toothpick!
