I've seen most of the episodes of "Thriller". One way I would never have described them until this episode is funny. Instead, the series is dark and mostly about death and grim happenings. However, here in "Masquerade" they made a black comedy about cannibalism and/or vampires.
A couple (Tom Poston and Elizabeth Montgomery) is out driving one night when they get lost. They take refuge at an old house and immediately aren't so sure it was a good idea. The man of the house (John Carradine) and the rest are all weirdos...who might or might be up to no good. What the couple DOES know is that they are locked in the house and anything could be about to happen...and she imagines the folks might be vampires or cannibals. At first, she means it as a joke...and their dialog is filled with jokes and quips. However, over time she comes to dread that she MIGHT be right about these folks!
So is this odd foray into comedy worth seeing? Absolutely. It's a fun change of pace...and well worth your time.
