Horror in the Heights is more than a classic episode, its a classic episode that lives up to its reputation. A cracking, high speed Monster of the Week with an underlying social commentary that avoids sentiment. The great Phil Silvers is excellent as the elderly but dapper Harry Starman, a performance that is touching and funny in more or less equal measure. Watch out for the wonderful crossbow discussion between Carl,Tony and Ron - a mini masterpiece of delivery and timing. Horror in the Heights shows that Kolchak is more than a man living on the fringe of society, he is someone driven to help others with little thought for his own safety. A true hero.
