Looks awesome.

We’ve known this existed for a while, but I’m shocked they waited until less than a month before its release to make it official.

I'm just curious is if this is a TV-MA thing or more silly and appropriate for children? The planned Zombies series for D+ was already stated to be TV-MA so it's possible that this is more adult.

First place I’ve seen a run time listed. 53 minutes was more than I was expecting.

‘Werewolf by Night’ Director Michael Giacchino Thought the Marvel Special Would be Rated TV-MA, Not TV-14

The filmmaker, who is one of the more prolific composers working today, talks about bucking expectations people have of him: "In this town, whatever you do first, that's what you do forever."

Werewolf picks up where Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness left off in terms of the horror genre, as the Disney+ special presentation is an homage to the genre’s filmmaking style of the 1930s and ‘40s. The black-and-white feature, which runs nearly 53 minutes long, follows Jack Russell (Gael Garcia Bernal), who, along with other monster hunters, arrives at Bloodstone Temple in order to compete for the estate’s most sought-after relic. The subsequent hunt leads to perhaps Marvel’s scariest and bloodiest tale to date, and much to the surprise of Werewolf’s director-composer Giacchino, the film still landed a TV-14 rating.

From the Q&A part on the rating. Giacchino expected to get a TV-MA:
Michael Giacchino, Werewolf by Night is a bloody good time.

(Laughs.) We need that quote.

I submitted it to Disney! Anyway, while watching, I assumed it was Marvel Studios’ first R-rated or TV-MA project, but according to the Internet, it’s TV-14. Did the black and white help counter the blood and keep the rating at TV-14?

You know what? Maybe. You could be right. I’m not sure. We had always assumed it would be TV-MA, but I wasn’t always involved with what was happening on that end in terms of ratings and all of that. And so I’m not sure, but I am sure you are absolutely right that the black and white did help keep us within a certain range.
