YMMV / Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Nightmare is a sadistic dream demon obsessed with escaping into the Waking World so as to reign supreme over all humanity. To this end, Nightmare uses his enhanced powers on Halloween night to terrify four young teens with their worst fears, before trapping their astral souls in never ending nightmares to power a machine he plans to use to open a portal into the Waking World. Transforming their physical forms into their worst fears and sending them on a rampage through New York, Nightmare also traps Dr. Strange in his own worst nightmare while also attempting to manipulate the Hulk into destroying the human part of his personality in order to control him. Once escaping the dream realm after attempting to murder the four children for outliving their usefulness, Nightmare plunges all of New York into a never-waking nightmare, at which point he reveals he plans to do the same to the rest of the world and feed on their fear for all eternity. Monstrous and sadistic, Nightmare lives up to his namesake as a truly wicked demon.
  • Narm: While some of the nightmare creature designs are ugly, most of them (save perhaps the eyeball monster) are hardly terrifying.
  • Tear Jerker: While Nightmare is eventually defeated, and Bruce and Hulk come to an understanding. Young Benito Serrano is left trapped in the form of the thing he fears most thanks to one of Nightmare's spells. Worst of all, his parents tried everything they could to help him. Even calling upon Doctor Strange for help. Imagine their heartbreak when they learn all their attempts to protect their son from Nightmare still failed.
