But be warned: this hilarious hour-long special will have you crying. We explain below how to watch Werewolf by Night online while saving money the Disney Plus bundle for $13.99 (opens in new tab).
Gael García Bernal (The Motorcycle Diaries, Coco) plays the eponymous werewolf, a daytime monster hunter who first appeared in 1972’s Marvel Spotlight.
He is part of a secret group of hunters gathered at Bloodstone Manor following the death of their leader, where eccentric widow Verusa (Harriet Sansom Harris) stirs up suspicions that one of them is not what she appears to be. Is Jack Russell a lycanthrope or is she barking up the wrong tree?
Directed by Pixar and MCU collaborator Michael Giacchino, Werewolf by Night is a giddy retro homage to ’30s and ’40s horror films like The Wolf Man. It cranks up the smoke machine, melodrama, and handy monster effects to deliver an insanely fun – yet surprisingly spooky – Halloween special while maintaining its ties to the MCU.
