Hot on the hairy heels of the home release of WOLF MAN, co-writer/director Leigh Whannell‘s (The Invisible Man) terrifying reimagining of the 1941 Universal classic, genre giant Blumhouse has shared a glimpse into the never-before-seen bonus content chronicling the making of the film. In this exclusive clip from one of the many featurettes included with the digital release, Whannell and the film’s production sound mixer, Chris Hiles, along with stars Julia Garner and Christopher Abbott, explain how shifting sound and visuals amp up the fright factor.
