When you think about the classic monster movies of the 1930s and 1940s that inspired werewolf at nightMarvel Studios’ first special presentation, You Name Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein or mummy. Bella Lugosi Dracula. And of course Claude Raines in wolf man. You might not think that the 53-minute Halloween special, which airs October 7 on Disney+, is rooted in holiday classics like charlie brown birthday or Rankin/Bass frosty snow TV specials. But according to co-executive producer Brian Jay, these yearly show favorites are exactly why werewolf at night It is a stand-alone special and not a feature film or spin-off.
“It’s funny that sometimes things come together. And this was just one of those. We’ve always wondered: Where can we serve a Werewolf at night?” He said like me exclusively Character Book For Jack Russell (played by Gael Garcia Bernal), he is cursed to transform into a monstrous beast known as a werewolf. “We love the character. What sounds right? Of course, movies, TV shows, series, and different series lengths, but Disney+ allows us to be very flexible in what we do.”
Unlike recent Marvel Studios series like moon knight And the She-Hulk: Attorney at LawMarvel werewolf at night It is included in a one-time 53 minutes (which is the length of the feature, according to the rules of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences).
“One of the things that has always come out is that we like a good old private network, something like that charlie brown birthday or frosty snowJay explained that things like that were specials and were shown once or maybe every year. It turned out that the answer was yes. This is the place werewolf at night came from.
Directed by Michael Giacchino, Marvel recurring composer (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Thor: Love and ThunderIn his first appearance as a director, werewolf at night It introduces supernatural characters such as Brutal Man, Bloodstone Ulysses, and his (alive) monster hunter daughter, Elsa Bloodstone (Laura Donnelly).
Jay said the nearly hour-long special “looked like a fun way to introduce the character of Werewolf by Night, the concept of monsters in the MCU, but do it so there’s nothing but a tease.” “So you get excited, and you get into it, and then we’ll see what it becomes. Because if you watch the special, monsters have been around for centuries. That’s just a taste. This is the first time we’ve seen them. Re-peeling that curtain.”
Disney describes werewolf at night: “On a dark and dreary night, a secret gang of monster hunters has emerged from the shadows and assembled at the ominous Bloodstone Temple after the death of their leader. In a strange and horrific memorial to the leader’s life, attendees are pushed into a mysterious and deadly competition for powerful relics – a hunt that will finally bring them down. “Face-to-face with a dangerous monster. Inspired by horror films of the 1930s and 1940s, the creepy special aims to evoke a sense of awe and the horrific, with plenty of suspense and fear along the way as we explore a new corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
