Nickelodeon's WEIRD Forgotten Horror Film 

Thanks so much for watching! Have you seen The Boy Who Cried Werewolf? What are your thoughts on the film?

Nice try, but victoria justice as a werewolf was a permanent and vivid wrinkle on my brain

I'm quite a fan of the werewolf designs in the film. They look solid and bulky, where someone might've assumed the Victoria Justice werewolf would be sleek and pretty like her. Plus I can never hate practical effects with a touch of CGI polish.

I love the running gag where they say the house keepers name and we hear a wolf howl. Then when the kids are turned into werewolves and her name is mentioned they howl.

The Boy Who Cried Werewolf was an interesting look at what things might have been like if Nick had created more tv movies to compete with Disney's original movies like Smart House, Brink!, and (of course) Halloweentown. Glad to see someone talking about it.

I actually unironically like Boy Who Cried Werewolf. Its just a campy little romp with all the things I loved about that era of tv movies.

I was really impressed with the werewolf costumes in this film.

Not forgotten, beloved! I always really liked that movie. But Nickelodeon has a forgotten movie and it’s called shredderman or something and it’s with Ned from Ned’s declassified. That was a weird one

I love the cliche where whenever a girl character in a kids show/movie gets possessed by something evil they always make it where they suddenly just make themselves look hotter

“No guy would go to prom with a werewolf.” You’d be surprised.

Fun fact: that moment where they first enter the castle (door opens by itself, they go in, door slams shut behind them, housekeeper appears out of nowhere) was used again, beat for beat, in the first episode of House of Anubis when Nina first enters the titular house. I highly doubt it was intentional, as the show premiered not too long after the movie, but it's interesting that two Nickelodeon horror properties have a nearly identical scene to each other.

This is one of my favorite Halloween movies from my childhood. I know its unnecessary but, Thanks for this video Jordan, I feel like you really help precious media like this get some attention.

I think the core problem with this movie, for me anyway, is that it's centered around Victoria Justice's character, but it ends with her brother becoming/staying the werewolf? Like, I get the movie is called "The Boy Who Cried Werewolf" so technically it is his story even if he's not the main character, but it just feels like VJ's character got ripped off. The movie centered its conflict around her acceptance of who she is and what she can become, and then it just said "the BOY is the one-true werewolf!" and shoved her aside so he can have the spotlight in the end. Would have been a much more interesting finale with her becoming the Wolfsburg Werewolf.

Hoping we can see Scary Godmother make an appearance on the channel 🤞🏼

I remember my younger sister watching this, I never saw it but it really shows how confident nick were with Victoria Justace's career, thinking back she is probably my favourite of nicks female lead actors. What is she up to now?

Despite the fact this film committed the cardinal sins of Werewolf movies (having the full transformation be *offscreen*) It was okay for its post-Twilight era. It was quite nice seeing the werewolves be heroes and the Main characters for once. Hasn’t seen that since Sonic Unleashed.

Idk if it's just me, but I always loved it when girls were able to become the mystical creature or have magical abilities. It just felt the only thing girls could be were witches and seeing things like this movie really was fun.

This was one of my favorite movies Nickelodeon has made! I love supernatural stuff and I wish Nickelodeon would make more movies like this! It would have been cool if they made a sequel or something with vampires.

I remember this, It always felt kinda weird having Victoria play the role, All I could see was Tory and Lola.

I loved this film. I wanted a sequel, but we never got one

I am surprised to see this movie again. First thoughts seeing the thumbnail was "Oh hey, I remember this movie. It had Victoria Justice turn into a werewolf and they all sang Brittany Spears at the end!" Honestly really remember enjoying this movie, though looking at it 13 years later it's definitely aged a bit weirdly. I remember from the trailers it looking like a superhero story where the werewolf starts out learning how to use her new abilities, which wasn't exactly the case but still enjoyable nonetheless. Funny thing is I unintentionally did this plot with one of my friend's player characters in a TTRPG, where their character had a weird potion spilled on her (close enough to being blood, right? xP) and she became a werewolf with cool wolf powers. XD

I remember that movie! It was so on brand for nickelodeon that I didn’t even roll my eyes too much at all of the corny ness :-)🐺 I honestly loved some of their dedication. Such as, how we would hear werewolves howling in the distance every time someone said, they are great uncles name, and then, when the father says the great uncle’s name in front of his two kids transformed as werewolves, and they immediately how in his face. That honestly made me laugh out loud

This was one of my go-to Halloween movies I would watch as a kid always looking forward to it kinda ironic for someone who didn't like Halloween as a kid

I remember watching this when it first premiere on TV

Victoria Justice was fantastic in this movie. It has cliches for sure but I still love it! Victoria is definitely one of my favorite Nickelodeon actresses. The movie is pretty silly but it has some solid story points and they use her well. Certainly not a Top tier Halloween tv film but definitely a fun rewatch! Thank you for covering it!

This movie was my Childhood and I remember when the movie came out the day before at halloween and everyone watched it in my class, so at recesss we basically quoted it and played werewolfs Also, it does make me wanna cry as it was our last halloween together as the school was closing down that same year

Man, what a throwback! This film came out when I was 12, and even though my tastes were still maturing, I do remember liking it. At that point I had already been watching iCarly, so after seeing her in the episode where she's an MMA fighter, I must've figured having Victoria Justice in a "horror" film would be pretty neat. I haven't watched The Boy Who Cried Werewolf in years, and while it hasn't aged all that well, I still appreciate it for the nostalgic value it had for my childhood.

The thing I remember most about this movie is that is suffers from what I like the call Makerover Solutions. Basically it's moment in a story when a woman's problems get solved because she gets a makeover that makes her look more desirable. The start and end of movie annoys me because It sends a message with the right look a girl will attract the guy she wants to attract.

I was obsessed with this when I first saw it. I was devastated when the next year came but no sequel.😍😭

This was a movie that I both weirdly remembered and still remember to this day.

Oh hey I've watched this. It was always weird to me how Victoria Justice was in this. Anyhow, it sparked my sisters permanent intrest in Translvanyia

The really big thing I don't get is why did the brother turn into a werewolf quicker and more easily than his sister? Also did she get her werewolf powers from stepping on the glass with the blood or was it just a coincidence? Was she not originally a werewolf but had like a dormant gene that needed to be "awaken" from werewolf blood? Because the brother just easily turned into a werewolf with just rage alone, like the Hulk.

I remember loving this when it first came out I was so gassed after watching this I wanted to be a werewolf so bad feels just like yesterday but apparently that was 13 YEARS AGO

Its been 13 year's!?

I never forgot this, it taught me that werewolves are weak to silver, which got me into mythological weaknesses, and also everytime i hear "...Baby one more time" i think of this movie

I have this very weird and distinct memory of this movie as a kid because I got annoyed every time they said the Great Uncle invented karaoke, when Andre from Victorious claimed it was invented by the Japanese.

They were really pushing Victoria Justice to become a big star It's too bad she never really broke out, she was a triple threat

Nickelodeon made a forgotten Christmas movie called the santa hunters along with the crossover of haunted Hathaway's and the thundermans.

I watch this a minimum of 3 times every October childhood memories right here. Can you please do RL stone the haunting hour don’t think about it. It was a completely forgotten memory till I rewatched this year. A lot of your watchers would resonate with it

I remember this movie solely off the ending where the whole cast sang Oops I Did It Again by Britney Spears 😂

I’m glad someone reminded me of what this movie was called lol I was getting tired of referring to it as “this movie with this hot vampire lady who’s obviously a vampire but no one realizes and she orders her steak rare telling the waiter ‘just run it through a warm room’ oh and Victoria justice was there somehow” the real title rolls off the tongue much easier

When people talk about the phase where people thought they were werewolves or vampires this was my movie that made me think I was a bloodline werewolf

This was always on the day of Halloween when i was younger. So much so, that I actually made it a tradition, to watch "the movie that i never saw in full" and "that one Halloween movie that I can't remember the name of" every year. In the early years I do remember thinking that I imagined it's existence as well. Still haven't seen the whole movie, still don't get the plot completely, still think it's kinda dumb, still love it anyways

OMG I forgot about this movie!!! I was 8 when this movie came out and me and my parents watched it on it's premiere date. We carved a pumpkin and made pumpkin seeds to eat while watching the movie. It was a really nice night.

this was not forgotten in my household!!! It’s one of the 3 good nick films in my opinion.

Idk if it's still up, but when I was in middle school I found the full length movie as a youtube video for free and watched it frequently when I couldn't sleep....you just opened a locked memory holy shit

So, Jordan Justice is basically Erica from the Teen Wolf series. This movie actually looks kinda fun, actually. I love supernatural-movie-monster cheese like this. I'll check it out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers this every time I hear that Brittany Spears song I think of this movie XD

I think Victoria Justice's best role is still Lola from Zoey 101. That role really stands out to me compared to a lot of her roles she which is often the awkward straight man. Also her Shelby Marx felt like less of a character and more of a plot device that goes along with what the script needs her to do.

I was so confused when you said this was a movie and not a series. Then I realized I was getting this mixed up with "My Babysitter's a Vampire." I mean, they're basically the same thing.

Yooo I remember this movie! It was so weird, and the lore didn't make much sense, but it was fun enough.

I never forgot about this movie, and that's probably only because of Victoria Justice. This was around the time I was really interested in her. Not the best movie in the world, but I liked it.

I remember seeing trailers on TV for this movie. Both intrigued and a bit scared, I was only 11 at the time so I didn't know what to expect. Well, it was a Twilight World, so of course vampires and werewolves up the ass.

Are you saying Victoria Justice was a "werewoof"? That is absolutely fascinating.

This is one of my favorite movies.

I remember seeing this and enjoying it back in the day, though I always wanted Jordan to keep the werewolf abilities.

With the current state of the housing market, inflation causing grocery prices to get to ridiculous heights, etc. moving to another country where I inherited a castle and all of my bills are paid at the 'cost' of being surrounded by horror monsters doesn't seem all that bad when I weigh my options...

I wish nick and Disney would do more movies like this after 2015 i feel like they all fell off

Please do a video on Disney's Halloween Town 1 movie.

I remember watchin' this as a kid, and I didn't think much of it tbh. It was the norm for those kinds of films at the time. I know, for sure, that my 13 year old self had a huge crush on Victoria Justice, though, lol.

Oh man. When I was that age I guarantee wolf-Victoria would’ve been a sexual awakening of sorts…this is like imagining the wolf-fetish I dodged😅

Now this was a fever dream reawakening as soon as I saw the thumbnail 😵😵‍💫. Plus, kinda surprised no light joke on Victoria Justice's character being named Jordan 🤔🤷🏿‍♂️.

yeah, i remember seeing this movie back in the day. i thought it was pretty good as far as nick channel movies go, it's far from a masterpiece, but it could of been a lot worse. the movie gave me more goosebumps vibes and i liked that. i like how the sister becomes a werewolf in a untypical way and that werewolves were seen as more as the good guys in this movie. plus i thought the werewolf suits were pretty good looking considering the low budget they to work with.

Please do a video on 1990's Goosebumps TV series

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid, and was probably one of the reasons why I'm so obsessed with werewolves even to this day, and I vividly remember the night it first premiered. I was not actually allowed to watch it! I begged and begged to be allowed to watch it, but my family continuously said no. When I became more aware of the internet, and was a few years older, I found it online on a pirating website and watched it anyway.

i was just thinking abt this a few weeks ago omg 😭i rmbr being so excited to watch the premiere and enjoying it enough to record and watch multiple times, i gotta give it a rewatch

I’m glad people remember this movie, I thought it was lost media!

I remember this movie! I don't think I watched the whole thing but from what I remember it was... weird

I actually loved this movie when I was a kid

I think it's good i never knew about this movie's existence until now

I remember watching this and a few years later seeing Hunter's werewolf suit used in another show/film. Can't recall what it was though.

The memories this brought back

I still ADORE this movie. Thus is quintessential Halloween for me and I still watch it every few years.

i thought this was a weird fever dream i had,nice to know it was real

I enjoyed this movie, and the brother being a werewolf twist was unexpected!

I really liked this movie as a kid (and i think i still very much do!)

Oh my god, I literally rewatched this a few weeks ago after not thinking about it for years.

well, it's just reassuring to know i'm not the only one who remembers this old classic

Hopefully we see Spectacular and Best Player on this channel. Love your work! 🤘🏻

I think about this movie from time to time…also cuz that guy who played Goran gets railed by Terry Crews in White Chicks

For each Victoria Justice Halloween movie I have one particular thing stuck in my head. Brook Shields as the caretaker is burned into my brain. Didn’t know at the time that it was a reference to Cloris Leachman in Young Frankenstein. Also am I the only one remembers the other Victoria Justice Halloween movie where she has an annoying little brother? It was trying to be PG-13 comedy. She crashed into a giant animatronic(?), inflatable (?) chicken and it looked like the chicken was humping her car. I remember it being in a trailer, and it was distributed by Paramount or Columbia Pictures.

I remember watching this and I thought this was pretty cool ❤

forgotten? i haven't been able to forget about this movie since it came out 😭 it always felt like a weird fever dream

Almost forgot to watch this banger for the the month, thanks Jordan!

This movie is the closest thing Nick will ever get to a Disney channel movie

This movie has kind of become a Halloween guilty pleasure for me. It's a little campy especially Brooke Shields' performance as the creepy housekeeper, it just makes this movie even more over the top.

This was Nick at its most Disney. But like way better. I think the movie still holds up. But I’m a sucker for Horror Comedies.

I loved this film too! I remember watching the premiere on tv lol. Also would love to see a video on Scary Godmother it's my top Halloween movie every year!

I remember how they promoted the living hell out of this 😭

Holy shit i remmember seeing this movie when i was little and didn't eve knew what the fuck it was, you unlocked a memory i had for a long time dude, thanks.

I would love to see Cartoon Network Tower Prep be discussed. I think it would fit into the whole Halloween like theme.

Deep dive into the weird world of kids only. For those who don't know kids only was a company who released a lot of movies in a box set for kids back in the day.

Didn't even knew this movie existed, I always liked werewolves so I probably would have loved this film when it came out.

i remember this movie all too well because of the karaoke at the end! i don't know why jordan was not also a werewolf descendant like her brother!

Always weird when a gun shows up in cable children’s programming

Thank you. I was looking for that film.

My daughter loves this movie lol. I was meeting her mom around this came out , so basically I didn’t grew up with most stuff that came out after this movie like around 2013 , just find it cute how this is how she got introduced to Victoria justice

I remember seeing this as a kid. It felt super long to me for some reason and as a kid the vampire reveal was not only a plot twist to me (probably because I was little and wasn’t paying attention) but it was legitimately scary to me.

Holy shit you reached into the deepest part of my memory with this one

Oh my god THANK YOU for making a video about this... weird movie.
