Neither of the above.
I'll give a hint: this refers to a story in the Fables series.

Attract the werewolf character so they could re-enact a universal Frankenstein Vs the Wolfman film?

Very close - they were trying to attract the werewolf (Bigby Wolf) and he and the Frankenstein monster did fight (the issue's title homaged the Universal film), but there was a genuine purpose in their wanting Bigby.

No...
I'm kind of surprised this one is so hard, as there was a running Fables thread in the Anywhere Machine while the series ran. This trivia thread has been so bogged down in 80's-and-earlier Marvel/DC super-hero stuff that I wanted to mix it up a bit but didn't want to go too obscure. Guess I whiffed on that.
If no one comes up with it in the next day, I'll give it to thoth.

I guess the people guessing aren't the same people who were part of the Anywhere Machine thread

Since thoth was pretty close, I'll give him the next question.
The answer is that they wanted to attract Bigby's attention in order to capture him and use his blood to create their own werewolves.

Ah. I was stunned I even got a very close. I've read maybe an issue or so of fables, and an article or two around it. But werewolf mythology and a few hints would have probably got some one there. Moving from the main titles of a certain era is fun, but they often have a smaller readership and more hints are needed. Which is part of the enjoyment. That's the second tongue in cheek answer today that's paid off for me.

Morgan Le fay has remade reality in her image. Seven Avengers stand against her having regained their senses. Which 7?

Monica Rambeau
Tony Stark was one Cap tried to convince, but it went badly wrong.
Wanda was never in any doubt of her situation. So she's not one of the 7.

Nope ah wait I remember... Justice? Yes! Justice was the final one, even though he hadn't been an Avenger.

yeah I remember now, having Justice in there paved the way for him becoming a full member!
I always found it interesting that these 7 were supposed to be the ones who felt so strongly about being an Avenger, that they snapped out first.
Thor, Wasp, Cap, Hawkeye, Monica, sure. Justice, fine cause they wrote him in. Quasar felt a bit like the odd one out, but I can't remember if it had something to do with his powers too
