In a recent interview executive producer Brian Gay explains why Werewolf by Night is in black and white. As you likely know, Werewolf by Night is an upcoming Halloween Special set in the MCU and directed by Michael Giacchino. Exec producer Gay spoke with ComicBook recently and explained a little more about the decision to film it in black and white.
“What I think is is it’s about the story. We knew we were gonna tell a story. These are vicious monster hunters. They’re not gonna sit around and just have a nice dinner. We’re gonna get them out there. They’re gonna be fighting. They’re gonna be hunting. And with that, the story requires that we give you that scare and give you that element of what it is,” Gay said.
“I think the black and white is something that makes it special and makes it, I’ll call it just like a little bit of an extra twist on top that makes you, ‘Oh, this is really different and this is cool.’ There’s a stylization to it that not only is an homage to those classic monster movies but just feels new within the MCU.”

So far there seems to be some positive buzz around this Special from critics who have already seen it. As always, I’ll judge it myself when it hits Disney+ along with the rest of you.
I have no familiarity with the comic book character. I’m not a fan of classic Horror particularly either, so this should be right up my street. I’m actually looking forward to it though, it does look… different after all.
