Blumhouse recently revealed the logo for its upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man and now, with Halloween Horror Nights having kicked off in Orlando, it looks to have unveiled a first look at its titular character, too.

‘Enter the Blumhouse’ is one of this year’s attractions at the event, where attendees can come face to face with studio favorites likeM3GAN, The Black Phone’s The Grabber, Happy Death Day’s Baby Face Killer, and more. Nearby, there’s a photo op stand for Wolf Man, where someone in a mask and a tatty boiler suit lunges at passers-by with their bloodied hands.

With videos emerging on social media, many have assumed it’s a hint at what Christopher Abbott will look like when he transforms in the new movie. Some, it’s fair to say, are hoping that that’s not the case…

“I hope it doesn’t look like that in the movie wtf,” one doubter replied to HHNSpeculationMatt’s post, as another said: “If they didn’t say that it’s supposed to be a wolf man, I would never have guessed. Just looks like a guy who had a rough life.”

“Is there going to be a wolf man in the Wolf Man movie?” wrote a third.

Helmed by The Invisible Man’s Leigh Whannell, Wolf Man is based on the 1941 film of the same name and will follow Abbott’s character as he tries to protect his family from a dangerous beast during a full moon. Sam Jaeger, Matilda Firth, and Julia Garner round out the cast.
