Synopsis

In W Is for Werewolf, Jim Howard arrives at the eerie Cape Howl to visit his old friend Bill Andrews, who has chosen to live on a secluded island. The reunion is bittersweet, as Jim notices Bill's fatigue and the unsettling atmosphere surrounding him. Bill's son, Johnny, is particularly withdrawn, refusing to shake hands with Jim, which raises Jim's concerns about the boy's well-being. As they travel to the island in a wagon and rowboat, Jim learns that Bill has been living there for three years, and the island is rumored to be dangerous, especially for children.
