Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Aboard the luxury liner Hanover to cover the ship's final voyage and a concurrent convention of middle-aged swingers, reporter Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) must convince an authoritarian captain a werewolf is responsible for the disappearance of several passengers. He must also find someone among the swingers who can speak Latin and bless some peculiar silver bullets. This episode makes good use of a unique and claustrophobic setting. Trapped aboard ship, Kolchak has to fight rather than flee both the monster and the unwanted advances of a divorcée. Eric Braeden, best known as Victor Newman on daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, plays the eponymous creature in makeup making him look like famed sideshow attraction Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy. Dick Gautier, who played Hymie the Robot on Get Smart, guest stars as Kolchak's lusty cabinmate. The fourth installment in the series, "The Werewolf" originally aired November 1, 1974, on ABC.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Kolchak: The Night Stalker. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
The Werewolf is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 15 out of 19, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
