Universal and Blumhouse have finally emerged from the woods with the first teaser for their latest stab at Wolf Man. The clip is mostly here to settle one important question: What if Planet Earth was backed by a horror soundtrack? Okay, that’s just the first 10 seconds, but the answer is… pretty goofy.
The Wolf Man himself is also pretty damn goofy in a first look at his character design from Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights this week; thankfully, we have a little bit of time before we have to confront that particular horror onscreen. Wolf Man doesn’t make an appearance in this clip in his full howl-at-the-moon form (maybe to give Universal time to make a few last-minute tweaks?), but his claw marks sure do. By the end, the screen is so shredded that it’s a challenge to make out anything at all. Now that’s spooky.
