Agatha All Along's New VHS Promo Teases Retro Horror

As a long-time fan of Marvel and a connoisseur of horror movies, I must say that the latest teaser for Agatha All Along has me absolutely thrilled! The vintage VHS aesthetic combined with Kathryn Hahn’s captivating portrayal of Agatha Harkness is an irresistible combo.


In the recently released sneak peek of “Agatha All Along,” the upcoming Marvel series, the horror element reminiscent of VHS-era films is amplified. The series, which is said to be a creation of the minds behind “WandaVision,” uses retro fonts and adds a grainy filter to the trailer clips. The storyline revolves around Agatha Harkness and her band of witches who are about to encounter some terrifying creatures that inhabit The Witches’ Road. The teaser offers glimpses of these ghastly beings, hinting at the spine-chilling encounters to come. With Halloween fast approaching, it seems Marvel is making a strong effort to emphasize the holiday spirit as we approach the release date for “Agatha All Along.” Take a look at the retro teaser here.

Marvel Television producers have indicated that the story in “Agatha All Along” continues directly from where “WandaVision” left off. However, the initial trailer for the Disney+ series appears to be a humorous take on a police procedural show. Speaking with ComicBook, Executive Producer Brad Winderbaum explained how the ending of “WandaVision” influences Kathryn Hahn’s character’s future development.

In a setting reminiscent of Mare of Easttown, where one could envision Kathryn Hahn excelling in the role, Winderbaum hinted playfully. Recall at the conclusion of WandaVision, she is bound as the nosy neighbor by Wanda, serving as punishment for her actions within that series. However, due to the occurrences in Dr. Strange, the spell is broken, but it does not imply that she is completely free from its influence.

The marketing strategy for “Agatha All Along” has primarily emphasized its spooky, Halloween-like atmosphere, aligning it with the Marvel series. Lately, Marvel Studios has been promoting the Horror genre more extensively. Shows like “Werewolf By Night,” “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness,” and now “Agatha All Along” incorporate elements of horror, adding a touch of fear to their storylines. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Brad Winderbaum, the head of Marvel Television, discussed horror within the MCU. According to him, the inclusion of horror elements is largely driven by the creative decisions made by the individual teams working on each project.

According to Winderbaum, the type of horror presented in a film is largely determined by the director’s vision. For instance, the horror portrayed in “Agatha” differs from that in “Marvel Zombies”, which in turn is distinct from the horror in “Blade”. Similarly, the horror depicted in “Moon Knight” is unique as well. Essentially, the type of storytelling and horror cues used are influenced greatly by the director’s perspective, and this is not exclusive to horror but applies to any genre being explored.
