"Well of Doom" is one of the stranger episodes from "Thriller"....if not among the strangest. On his way to a bachelor party, a rich man's limo is commandeered by a creepy man who calls himself 'Moloch' (Henry Daniell) and his HUGE assistant, Styx (Richard Kiel). The pair appear to be rather demonic and kidnap the groom to be and his friend...forcing them to march across the moors to a creepy old castle. There, the friend is murdered and the rich guy subjected to threats of being tossed into a well to his death. Surely this cannot be true...and the devilish kidnappers must have some hidden agenda...but what and why??
In many ways, this one seems a bit like a Universal horror film and is very other-worldly. My only major complaint is the pacing...and the show would have been better had it been shorter. Otherwise, an interesting experiment in strangeness.
