Werewolf by Night – Original Soundtrack accompanies the 2022 Marvel Studios Halloween television special Werewolf by Night, directed by and scored by Michael Giacchino. The music blends orchestral horror motifs with gothic tension, drawing inspiration from classic 1930s monster films while incorporating dramatic brass, strings, and choral elements to support the special’s eerie atmosphere. Giacchino is an Academy Award–winning composer known for work on Up, The Incredibles, Doctor Strange, and several MCU films.
The soundtrack album was released October 7, 2022, digitally via Hollywood Records and Marvel Music, coinciding with the Disney+ premiere. It contains 20 original score tracks running approximately 41–42 minutes and is available on major streaming platforms. A limited vinyl edition was later issued by Mondo Music with additional material and unique artwork reflecting the special’s aesthetic.
Giacchino’s score emphasizes a cinematic horror tone, balancing ominous orchestral cues with moments of energy and narrative pacing that enhance monster encounters, suspense, and character transformations. The piano arrangement of the main theme and thematic material like “Mane Title” and “Where’s Wolf” are central to the special’s musical identity.
Licensed music note: The television special features additional period songs, including “I Never Had a Chance” (Irving Berlin), “Wishing (Will Make It So)” (Vera Lynn), and “Over the Rainbow” (Judy Garland), which appear in the production but are not included on the official score release.
