This is one of my favorite TZ episodes.
The Howling Man is a prisoner kept locked up in a cell of a German castle. He has been imprisoned there by a weird, seemingly crazy sect of friars that maintain the castle. David Ellington is on a walking tour at the end of WWII, caught in the rain and very sick. He stumbles upon this castle and asks for some food and shelter. At first this religious order strangely refuses to help him, but eventually they relent and let him in.
Shortly after is when the howling begins.
Robin Hughes plays the prisoner and looks like a living allegory right out of Milton. John Carradine is excellent as the crazy Brother Jerome.
This is a haunting episode that stays with you.....
