- Hi everyone.
I heard we're catching up on everything
everyone has been up to for the last 10 years
since Teen Wolf premiered.
Thank you, seriously, thank you
for all of the support.
It's been an absolute blast watching you guys
grow up and do all these really cool things.
- You guys, doesn't this take you back?
- For me to reminisce on 10 years of Teen Wolf
knowing that the actual cast of the show
can do the exact same thing,
and we're all thinking of the same memories.
That's something that I think is super unique
to the Teen Wolf fandom.
- Happy 10 years everyone! - Happy 10 years!
- We did it!
- Fanniversary, I like that word.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Liz, I really hopped into the fandom
when someone from MTV plucked me out of Tumblr obscurity,
and then I continued to make art,
pretty much ever since.
- Hi, I am Kaitlyn, I have been a Teen Wolf fan
since the show premiered in 2011.
When I started making raps and annoying
everyone on Twitter with Amanda.
And currently I am the Director of Brand Social at MTV.
- I'm Amanda, and somehow, some way it's been 10 years
and now I am a Senior Manager on the Franchise Social team
here at MTV.
- Hi, I'm Amy.
I am Founder and Co-Owner of Howler Con.
- Out of all of us, I do think that Amy
is the biggest Teen Wolf fan here.
- If you guys wanna fight, we can fight.
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
- Yeah, I'm not gonna battle that.
- In 2011 I was making jewelry
because I looked online and I couldn't find
any type of jewelry for this show.
So I opened up my own little store,
and I was on Wolf Watch and they like shipped out
my jewelry to L.A. and they all like wore it,
and spotlighted it, and that was huge for me.
Then I created Howler Con, my own convention for the show,
just because I'm like so much of a fan
that I felt like we needed to come together.
So, I like having that title there.
- I forgot about Wolf Watch, I was on that too!
- We were all on Wolf Watch.
- Were we?
Yeah, I was gonna say.
Wow.
- Hey guys, it's Katilyn.
- And Amanda.
- The wolf pack.
And we are back with another Teen Wolf rap
that is a lot different than all the others.
So we made our first video in July of 2011.
It's funny because it didn't start as rap videos,
it started as saying to Amanda
"We have to do something bigger,
I need to get noticed by this cast.
Like I need them to Tweet me, we need to get noticed."
- So I decided that we were gonna make this rap video,
and I re-wrote the lyrics to Super Bass by Nicki Minaj
to be all about Teen Wolf,
and it was the video that really started it all for us.
And when we got this amazing fan response,
and response from MTV, and the cast in Teen Wolf
we were kinda like, this is a thing we can keep doing.
There's a million rap songs in the world.
(upbeat music)
- When I had gotten my first dm from MTV,
I like freaked out.
I had a Facebook album that was called Teen Wolf,
and it was just screenshots of when MTV
would follow me on Twitter,
when they would send me a message on Tumblr,
when they would dm me on Twitter,
and like it was something that I was like,
this is so cool, this is so awesome.
But I never thought there's like a person
behind this account that's just like a normal human being.
I didn't know when I was doing all this stuff
that this could lead to a career.
- It wasn't until we went to the set of the show
for the first time, and we met the people
that worked at MTV, and that did social for MTV,
and for Teen Wolf that I was kinda like,
hold up, that's a thing.
I never would have even thought about a career
in social media if it weren't for the shameless
self promotion of my own videos on social media
for this show.
- That's called manifestation.
- It really is.
- You brought your dreams to life.
And I remember seeing about the wolf pack girls,
cause I have a Twitter, I have an Instagram,
and I was like these girls are great.
I started making fan art for the show,
I think probably in the second season, third season.
And as you do in 2013, I put it on Tumblr.
And then all of a sudden someone from MTV contacted me,
and was like we would love to use your art
in one of our DVD's for season three.
They took a couple artists,
and they put us in a gallery in New York City.
- That might have been the first time we met,
at the art gallery.
- I think the first time we met in person, yeah.
Seeing people that didn't know that maybe I made the art,
like look at it, and talk about it, take pictures of it,
it was absolutely surreal.
It was so validating to see someone say
"Hey, I think what you're doing is really cool."
But it also just made me feel like creating just to create
was worth something, even if you didn't have intentions
for it to have like a purpose,
it still ended up resonating with people,
and kinda gave me a purpose.
- If you are a fan of something,
and you care about it in any capacity,
you create, you follow your heart,
you do what you want to do
because in the end, you will feel better for it.
- Put your self out there,
and like don't feel like you have to suppress
the things your passionate about
just because other people might not think its cool.
Like, someone out there will think it's cool,
and you never know who's going to see your stuff.
- The life that you live where you're hiding these
like things your passionate about,
you're hiding the things you love to do
is not really a life.
I don't give a crap that I rapped on YouTube,
and every single person looks it up
after I tell them about it.
Back in the day it was scary,
but like you have to be you, and you have to be yourself,
and that's the number one most important thing.
- Don't make me cry.
(laughing)
- Okay, so because we're here celebrating
10 years of Teen Wolf, I thought it'd be fun to play a game.
So, we're gonna play little bit of
would you rather, Teen Wolf edition.
And we're starting with a really deep cut,
so sorry for making you emotional right off the bat,
but here we go.
- My palms are sweating.
- Would you rather Stiles's "You're my brother" speech
in the Motel California episode,
or Stiles's "Some of us are human" speech?
- Some of us are human speech. - Some of us are human.
- Some of us are human. - Some of us are human.
- That is my favorite scene, I think
in all of Teen Wolf.
- Would you rather be Coach's intern during lacrosse
season, or be Sheriff Stilinski's deputy?
- No, I played lacrosse in high school.
I wanna work with Coach, I wanna bully my teammates,
and I wanna just, I just, I love that, I'm with Coach.
- Would you rather get trapped in the Hale house,
or get trapped in the Eichen house?
- Hale house. - Hale house.
- Hale house.
- Hale house. - Hale house.
- That implies there might be Hale's around,
whom I all love.
Eichen house is just a terrible nightmare,
no one likes it there.
- Yeah, Hale house I feel like you could
probably escape pretty easily,
because it is a little bit falling apart,
so there's probably a hole somewhere where you can leave.
Eichen house, they've got that place on lock,
and I've seen what it does to people.
- Would you rather be a werewolf, or a banshee?
- Ooh, a banshee.
Only because Lydia makes it look so easy.
I feel like I'm already a loud person,
so I'm already there for the banshee screams, so.
- Werewolf is like so much athleticism involved.
(laughing)
- That's my thoughts.
- As a werewolf I would definitely be in more
of the category of I fell in a hole,
than I would be anything else.
So, I think yeah, like even though I don't wanna
like know when people are dead or dying,
I also, as someone with a uterus,
don't want to have to deal with something
once a month that just ruins my life.
So, we're going banshee.
(laughing)
(doorbell)
- Hmm, so...
- Awe, Melissa.
- Melissa!
- A little birdy told me that you guys
are getting together to talk about everything
that's happened in the last 10 years.
One of those things may or may not have been Teen Wolf,
and if it was, I just want to say thank you
from the bottom of my heart.
It's been an absolute wonderful joy,
and we are so grateful.
So from the entire cast and crew,
thank you so much for your love and support always,
and know that you are loved, and appreciated
with every season.
- Awe, that's so cute!
- I adore her!
- Awe!
Uh, Melissa is like the con mom.
- She posts like every Monday, it's Moon Day,
and she'll post something from Teen Wolf,
and it's like she's one of those people
that is truly keeping the show,
the series, the conversation, the hype alive
in what she's doing.
We've grown up together, and with the cast,
and like it's been so great growing up with this fandom,
and getting to see all of the really amazing,
and cool things that people do.
Like, Amy's a mom now, and like
that's so incredibly awesome.
- We made her cry!
(laughing)
- I'm sorry.
- You think this is just a silly show about werewolves,
but the takeaway is so much more than that.
And you know, I think of be your own anchor,
I think of if you're going through hell, keep going.
And you take these little lessons with you
every single day,
and then you're kinda like, how the hell did
this come from this MTV show that you watched,
and you're like oh yeah, they were hot,
like I'll tune in again.
Then here you are 10 years later being like
this show changed my life, and taught me everything I know.
- It's nice that we all still kept these connections,
and we all do genuinely care about each other, you know?
- That's the beauty of this show,
and the series is that we're always going to be together,
and we're always going to be a pack.
- We're always going to be a pack, sorry.
