The story
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.
Werewolf by Night recap
After the death of the monster hunter Ulysses Bloodstone, his widow Verussa gathers hunters at Bloodstone Manor to compete for the Bloodstone, a gem with power over monsters. The prize goes to whoever kills a monster released into the grounds. Ulysses's estranged daughter Elsa Bloodstone joins to claim it. One hunter, Jack Russell, is secretly a werewolf and has come to free the monster: his friend Ted, the plant creature Man-Thing. Jack and Elsa agree to help each other, and they get Ted out of the maze, but Verussa captures them.
