"Well of Doom" offers series veteran Henry Daniell (his second appearance, after "The Cheaters") some fine scenery chewing in a stunning makeup job designed after Lon Chaney's vampire in 1927's still lost "London After Midnight," his Squire Moloch aided by Richard Kiel's Master Styx in a fiendish scheme to wear down any resistance from Ronald Howard's wealthy Robert Penrose as he's about to wed pretty Laura Dunning (Fintan Meyler). Accompanied by longtime valet Jeremy Teal (Torin Thatcher), Penrose is en route to a stag party when his car is stopped by the giant Styx, looming out of the darkness to seemingly crush the life out of the chauffeur (Billy Beck), after which a demonic character calling himself Squire Moloch forces his two prisoners at gunpoint to get back in their car and drive deeper across the moors. Moloch is a devilish fellow, evil grimace with one tooth missing, long, unkempt white hair beneath top hat, and the ability to light the torches or kill Teal with barely a snap of his fingers. While poor Laura remains gagged and helpless nearby, Penrose finds himself locked in a cell containing a well, inside an abandoned old ruin on his own property, where Moloch claims he was murdered by Robert's father to gain possession of the entire estate, only now returning from the grave to avenge himself upon the son. The finale may prove disappointing on a first time viewing (itself a remake of Tod Browning's "Mark of the Vampire"), but Daniell's magnetic presence papers over the holes in the plot, easily his finest hour on the show (still to come are "Prisoner in the Mirror," "The Grim Reaper," and "God Grante that She Lye Stille"). This was only Richard Kiel's second acting role on television, and though still a novice he acquits himself well delivering his few lines, shortly before his starring debut in the title role of "Eegah."
