'WEREWOLF BY NIGHT' Director Explains Decision To Re-Release Special Presentation In Color This Halloween

Marvel Studios recently announced that the sleeper hit of last Halloween, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT, would be getting a color version and now director Michael Giacchino has now sent out a Tweet (or a Xeet) explaining the studio's decision to re-release his project.

"We spent a lot of time working on this color version. We wanted to pay homage to the incredible vibrant color in horror films like the ones Hammer made. A whole new look for Werewolf by Night."

The black-and-white, horror-tinged Halloween Special really was a first for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, paying homage to the classic Universal monster movies with its noirish style, creepy atmosphere and heightened levels of violence.

Rumors have swirled that there may be plans in place for ol' Jack Russell and his pals to return, but we haven't had any announcement yet.
