## Summary

Ethel Cain and composer Robin Carolan have contributed to the soundtrack for Robert Eggers’ upcoming folk horror film Werwulf. Their collaboration matters as Cain’s atmospheric music caught Eggers’ attention, leading to “Wynter Waxeth”, a full song written for the film.

Carolan composed most of the score, drawing on medieval music, prayers and ambient sounds while working with Cain. She sings the song in Middle English; the film, set in 14th-century England, follows a town haunted by a beast that threatens a man and his family. Werwulf is due in cinemas on Christmas Day, with the soundtrack arriving digitally on 18 December and on vinyl on 29 January.
