 I rate this episode ★★★★☆ for GOOD. Here's what I LOVED about this episode. First, our talented cast: Norman Rose (as Wilhem Krantz: the father), Kristoffer Tabor (as Herman Krantz: the son), Jada Rowland (as Marcella Krantz: the daughter), Ann Shepard (as Christina: the White Wolf (SPOILER ALERT)), and Paul Tripp (as Franz Baum: the doctor & Manfred Debaun Stolf: Christina’s father). Kristoffer Tabori’s voice for storytelling was gripping; convincing enough to feel like you were there in the Hartz Mountains of Germany in 1784 A.D. Jada Rowland is one of my favorite actresses and listening to her scream at the 36-minute 17-second mark; that actually gave me chills! Norman Rose is always great to hear. Kudos to Paul Tripp for playing 2 roles in this. As for Ann Shepard, she pulled it off very well to play as a Fräulein, which means “an unmarried womanâ€ in German. The sound effects & music were a delight to hear. The sounds of a wolf howling/barking/snarling, gun shots, tableware clinking, howling wind, the wedding march of thunder, doors opening and closing, and the repeating sounds of thunder and the howling wolf fit perfectly in this. The music brought suspense, agony, tension, and fear to rise up in every scene. Now here’s what I LIKED about this episode, but with Puzzling Questions. In our Host’s Prologue, E. G. Marshall brings up the topic of Gothic Horror and mentions Captain Frederick Marryat for writing “Midshipman Ready.â€ SPECIAL NOTE: Marryat wrote “Midshipman Easyâ€ in 1836 and “Masterman Readyâ€ in 1841; which means that E.G. Marshall got the titles wrong. Plus, Marryat wrote stories about high sea adventures and I haven’t found any story of his that’s Gothic. In ACT-1, our Host mentions Lycanthropy; which is a good concept for CBSRMT. In ACT-2, his narrations got interesting when he described the dark beauty of the mysterious Christina and then describes her as she smiles with blood afterwards. In ACT-3, he gave away the ending: the White Wolf died. E.G. Marshall said this was a gripping tale, but how can it be gripping if we don’t get to hear the sound effects of the White Wolf dying? In his Epilogue, his idea of dealing with a story such as this is to hide under a blanket; very old school. And as for the script written by Ian Martin, it was bloody-enjoyable, but not bloodcurdling-enjoyable. I give Ian Martin props for giving Kristoffer Tabori a lot of dialogue to narrate this story with details of the time, place, and situation. However, he mentions a third child in the story: 11-year old Caesar Krantz, but he has no lines. Why create a character that has nothing to say or do? Why couldn’t Paul Tripp play that role since he did 2 roles? At the last scene of ACT-3, our main character says, “No bullet, no dagger, no mortal means could damage this White Wolf. Only the tainted blood which flows my veins.â€ So, the White Wolf just died from drinking our main character’s blood? Also, if you hear the White Wolf howling at the 36-minute mark, right after Jada Rowland’s scream, the howling continues as Christina enters the room. I think they got the timing of the effect wrong when they recorded this. Also, why is the White Wolf named Christina? The name CHRISTINA is English, meaning “Follower of Christ.â€ It would make more sense if her name was ADOLPHA, which is German for “Noble She-Wolf.â€ And since we know the father’s back story for killing his first wife, wouldn’t it make more sense if the White Wolf was actually his dead wife returning and she just killed him and didn’t kill the daughter and the youngest son at all? Lot of Puzzling Questions here. Now, don’t get me wrong; this CBSRMT episode was really entertaining, but not as “hair-raisingâ€ as #1245-THE JUDGE’S HOUSE involving of a rat. Or “spine-tinglingâ€ as #0002-THE RETURN OF THE MORESBYS involving of a cat. But still, this particular episode is as classic as #0367-THE SUMMER PEOPLE, #0167-THE BLACK ROOM, #0957-HICKORY, DICKORY, DOOM and many others. It's worth checking out. Until next time…pleasant dreams. =0)
