Werewolf by Night is close to landing on Disney+, putting an unusual, fun, and scary spin on the supernatural side of the MCU. The special leans heavily into the monster movies of yesteryear, creating the feel of a throwback scare, but with a Marvel twist.
“Some of the scariest things I saw as a kid were just the shadows of things,” explains director Michael Giacchino in a new behind-the-scenes featurette. “All the horrible things you hear. That was our goal. It’s time to put something different in the world, and it’s going to be great.”
Check out the behind-the-scenes look at Werewolf by Night here:
“We wanted to explore totally new characters and totally new facets of the MCU with this unusual, funny and scary twist on the supernatural,” Feige explains in the video. And he ends with something that excites us: “We are introducing a world that, ultimately, will be very important for the future of the MCU.”
In Werewolf by Night, “on a dark and gloomy night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone temple following the death of their leader,” reads the synopsis. “In a strange and macabre tribute to the life of the leader, the attendees are plunged into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic, a hunt that will end up pitting them against a dangerous monster.”

Marvel Deluxe: Horror Lair
The terrible pages of this cursed book contain visions unimaginable to the common man. Visions so disturbing that only a mind as sharp and chimerical as that of the great visual scribe Richard Corben could capture. Proceed with caution and at your own risk, as the stories and testimonies compiled here take a journey through the most remote, dark and disturbing corners of this world and of the human mind.
Over the years, the veracity of what is referred to here has been accused and questioned. It has been said that it is nothing but a mere imaginative conception of Edgar Allan Poe and Howard Phillips Lovecraft, original sources of such shocking stories. Not so, the voices whispered from the shadows and the anonymous rumors of the streets seem to confirm it: a veil of creepy and terrifying mysteries surrounds our reality.
Therefore, this paranormal anthology serves as a witness that every time darkness forms faces and speaks to us, every time a shiver runs through our body in the middle of the night, every time fear paralyzes us and drowns out our screams… it is because we were never alone.
If even after this fateful warning you wish to go on and read the horrors contained within these pages, turn the page and prepare to never sleep again.
