The Gaming Gang October Spooktacular 2021 - Escape!: Taboo (1947)


Tonight we return to Escape for a werewolf themed tale starring Paul Frees. Frees is especially good in an early episode, number 17 to be exact, of the series. I have to chuckle because the big payoff at the end probably wouldn't fly with most television network censors.  A trio of tourists visiting the Carpathian mountains search for missing villagers, who some think have been eaten by a werewolf. We've got a bit of a mashup of a murder mystery and spook tale.  Hopefully, you'll catch onto the subtle references why this story is titled Taboo... So turn out the lights and get ready for Taboo on Escape as it aired December 3rd, 1947.
