A hand wanders lonely through the streets: In a viral video released by Netflix, the “Ice Cold Hand” from “Wednesday” walks lonely through New York and scares the inhabitants of the metropolis of millions.
It is said that nothing can shock New Yorkers. The brains behind the latest Netflix hit series “Wednesday” apparently wanted to put this to the test and unleashed the most unusual member of the Addams Family on city dwellers in a marketing or, in this case, brand THING campaign.
The severed but very mobile hand called “Ice Cold Hand” (in the original Thing T. Thing) walks through the streets of New York in this video released by Netflix. In the process, the creepy crawly also demonstrates his versatility, showing off his skills on a skateboard, playing chess, interacting with animals and even using the New York City Subway.

The reactions of the unsuspecting passers-by are quite entertaining and varied, ranging from joyful and horrified to disgusted and shocked. When a toddler in a pram starts crying loudly at the sight of the creepy-crawly hand, you know that the special effects team of the series has done something right. Hopefully, the “Ice Cold Hand” quickly had a handkerchief ready to comfort the poor thing.
And quite honestly, who wouldn’t look shocked if a severed hand suddenly walked across the counter while buying a hot dog? Is that really still justifiable in terms of hygiene?
In “Wednesday”, by the way, the idiosyncratic hand was “embodied” by actor Victor Dorobantu, who regularly shares exciting behind-the-scenes photos with his followers on his Instagram account – and also shows how the crawling creature was brought to life.
AND THAT’S WHAT “WEDNESDAY “
IS ALL ABOUT.
If you haven’t heard of “Wednesday” yet, here’s a little help getting started: The Netflix series is a spin-off of the “Addams Family”. The new series focuses on Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), the emotionally cold offspring of the creepy family.
She is supposed to make a fresh start at Nevermore Academy, a school for students with “special” talents. At the same time, the town is shaken by a series of brutal murders. Wednesday tries to track down the culprit and comes across an old family secret in which her parents (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán) also seem to be involved…
