Marvel has resurrected the Crypt of Shadows for the third time with a new #1 this Halloweeen season. The first attempt was a series that started in 1973 and lasted for twenty-one issues. The second attempt was the one-shot issue in 2018 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Marvel Comics. This year's Crypt of Shadows #1 cover features Wolverine (formerly X23), Moon Knight, Elsa Bloodstone, Bloodline, Victoria Montesi, Man-Thing and two werewolves (one being Jake Gomez aka Werewolf by Night).
Victor Strange is this year's host of horror stories. He is the vampire brother of Dr. Stephen Strange and was Baron Blood II. He is now trapped in a mirror.
The first horror story within Crypt of Shadows #1 is an untitled ghost story featuring Blade's daughter, Bloodline. Next is "Werewolf by Moon Knight" featuring Jake Gomez aka Werewolf by Night and Moon Knight encountering another werewolf. Morbius the living vampire and Victoria Montesi, a Darkholder, appears in "Skin Crawl". "Down Came The Rain" features Elsa Bloodstone teaming up with Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch to revert Peter Parker back to normal after becoming the Man-Spider. Finally, Wolverine (formerly known as X23) battles Man-Thing for a very long time in "Endless Slaughter in the Infinite Swamp".
