Kolchak: The Night Stalker: The Werewolf (1974)
Season 1, Episode 5
8/10
Tony Vincenzo Misses Another Vacation Cruise
26 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
With an introduction being the INS office Christmas Party, this episode seems to be headed in a different direction. Tony Vincenzo's beard is more than a bit hokey but then comes off entirely when he gets a phone call that his vacation has been canceled. This leads to Kolchak getting a ticket aboard a strange cruise.

Set as the last cruise before this ship hits the scrap yard, this eerie voyage includes death, wolfs bane, and a whole lot of dead victims piling up while the ships captain is in denial. The effects here are neat and understandably murky. The mood is beyond somber, it being the ships last trip before going into the scrap yard.

Kolchak, as usual, has to face down a werewolf after stealing the Captains Silver Buttons to make bullets and kill the wolf before he piles on any more victims. The setting and suspense of this series has another winner here.

Tony Vincenzo must still be wondering what kind of vacation he would have had.
