WWE has announced another Halloween treat for Danhausen, with his very own Very Nice Very Evil Halloween Special set to air on WWE’s YouTube channel after NXT on October 27. The special will stream at 10pm ET / 7pm PT, right after NXT wraps up on The CW Network.

The announcement adds yet another date to what is already shaping up to be a very busy Halloween week for the self-described very nice, very evil star. Before he hosts SmackDown and takes part in Halloween Havoc at the end of the month, Danhausen will headline his own spooky showcase on YouTube, free for fans around the world.
Danhausen Very Nice Very Evil Halloween Special: What to Expect
According to the announcement, the special is advertised to feature spooky matches, scary superstars and surprise guests. No matches or segments have been confirmed yet, but that tease alone fits Danhausen’s world perfectly, where the strange, the sinister and the silly all share the same ring.
WWE has leaned into that tone in its promotion, billing the show as a Halloween party with a horror twist. Fans should expect the kind of over-the-top character work Danhausen is known for, alongside wrestlers leaning fully into the season, whether that means creepy entrances, costume chaos or matches that would feel out of place on any other night of the year.
The timing is also smart. Airing straight after NXT means WWE can carry its Tuesday night audience directly into the special, rather than asking fans to come back later. For viewers who already watch NXT live, the YouTube special becomes an easy bonus show, and for Danhausen fans who do not follow NXT week to week, it is a free, standalone reason to tune in.
Danhausen’s Big Halloween Week in WWE
The YouTube special is not a one-off appearance. Danhausen is also set to host the October 30 episode of SmackDown, where Gunther has already promised something special for him. That build has been playing out in recent SmackDown footage, with Gunther putting Danhausen on notice ahead of the show.
Halloween Havoc, NXT’s annual Halloween event, is also on the horizon, making this a full week of spooky-season programming rather than a single gimmick match. WWE has a long history of using Halloween to let its characters play bigger, weirder versions of themselves, and Danhausen is arguably the perfect host for that tradition.
What makes this run interesting is how naturally it fits him. Danhausen’s character has always lived somewhere between comedy and horror, polite one moment and cursed the next. A Halloween special built around him does not need to force the theme, it just lets him do what he already does best, with spooky matches and surprise guests layered on top.
More details, including any announced matches or segments, are expected closer to airtime. For now, fans can mark October 27 in their calendars: watch NXT, then stay on YouTube for Danhausen’s Very Nice Very Evil Halloween Special at 10pm ET.
