The Swedes came up with the expression first and I assume the Danes thought that sounded really scary and decided to name the most stressful time of day after it.
In all of Scandinavia twilight is seen as the most magical time of day. That's why Scandinavian horror and fantasy is sometimes called Scandinavian Twilight. It's not named after the Twilight books/movies but rather Scandinavian folklore.
I know that it sounds like a stereotype, but in Russia, it's time to drink vodka!
Seriously!

In the Soviet pre-perestroika years, the sale of alcohol began at 11.00 in the morning - this was an hour when the wolf doll appeared on the clocks.
The text claims the expression "The Wolf Hour" originated with the Swedes and was adopted by the Danes, possibly due to its scary sound. It also states that in Scandinavia, twilight is considered a magical time, leading to the genre "Scandinavian Twilight" in horror and fantasy, which is based on folklore rather than the popular book series https://www.mymileestonecard.com
