It’s spooky season once again, which means Marvel’s anthology one-shot Crypt of Shadows featuring a collection of its supernatural characters is back once again. Marvel brought Crypt of Shadows back last year ahead of the release of Werewolf by Night, a Special Presentation on Disney+. It was the first time Marvel Studios debuted a project entirely in black-and-white, fitting for its Halloween release. The feature introduced characters such as Werewolf by Night, Elsa Bloodstone, and Man-Thing to audiences, and the newest Crypt of Shadows #1 one-shot promises to deliver even more of the spookiness.

Disney+ releasing Werewolf by Night in color for Halloween
Marvel Studios announced in September that the Werewolf by Night Special Presentation, which was originally released in black-and-white, will make a return to Disney+ in color for the very first time for the Halloween season.
The description of Werewolf by Night reads, “On a dark and somber night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader. In a strange and macabre memorial to the leader’s life, the attendees are thrust into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic—a hunt that will ultimately bring them face to face with a dangerous monster.”
The exclusive preview of Crypt of Shadows #1 can be found below. The issue goes on sale Wednesday, October 18th.
