Well of Doom, 3 July 2008
Author: plwblj from california

Here is an episode that is wildly atmospheric ! Great cast members and a clever tale of deception and keeping one off balanced most of the way.

Fun cast headed up with the one and only Henry Daniell and a suave Ronald Howard whose father is the famed Leslie Howard of GWTW.

The mood is heavy but delightfully Gothic and reminds one of a good old fashioned ghost story.

Significant are the presence of Richard Kiel who would later play "Jaws" in 2 James Bond movies and the likable Torin Thatcher who has two turns at wizardry in "7th Voyage of Sinbad" & "Jack the Giant Killer" both starring vehicles for the dashing Kerwin Mathews.

"Well of Doom" is pure hokum but fun nevertheless and IMO ranks in the top tier of one of the great episodes of this under rated series which broke new ground in Horror\Terror television "back there" some 48 years ago ! -mby
