  • Title: Werewolf by Night
  • IMDb: link

Based on the on-again/off-again horror comic from Marvel Comics that found its longest run in the 1970s, Werewolf by Night offers an hour of Disney-fied horror (i.e. bloodless and never quite creepy enough) by brining together a collection of monster hunters on the Bloodstone property in a race to kill a monster and claim the price of the recently deceased Ulysses Bloodstone (a robotically-animated corpse adding to the goofiness of the proceedings) – the Bloodstone.

In an episode that features a literal maze, Kinsey (Emilia Jones) and Tyler (Connor Jessup) do their best to not let Gabe/Dodge (Griffin Gluck) in on the fact that they’ve uncovered his secret or that Duncan‘s (Aaron Ashmore) memory has been restored. Well, batting 500 isn’t bad. Holding back until they can formulate a plan, the discovery of the Chain Key pushes Erin (Joy Tanner) into taking a big risk that allows Dodge to claim another victim, pick up another key, and convince the Lockes that they need to set a trap for their enemy.
