Tonight on Kolchak….
What happens when an oil company discovers new, undefined organic matter in the arctic circle?
Well, first off, they mishandle it and it ends up turning into a prehistoric, killer ape-man.
Secondly, it’s time for a corporate cover-up!
Fortunately, the world’s greatest (if unluckiest) journalist, Carl Kolchak, is on the case!
Anyway, this is an okay episode of Kolchak. If I don’t seem as enthused about it as I’ve been about some of the previous episodes, it’s because a killer, prehistoric ape-man just isn’t as much fun as a Cajun demon or a killer robot. Still, this episode has a nicely done, underground tunnel-set climax. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with an underground tunnel.
This episode originally aired on January 17th, 1975.

William Daniels is one of those actors who plays astonishment quite well so his scenes with Kolchak are a lot of fun.

Needless to say, it’s all very mysterious.
Kolchak is often cited as having been an influence on The X-Files and you can certainly see why in this episode. While I don’t want to spoil the nature of this episode’s monster, I will say that this episode will be enjoyed by conspiracy fans everywhere.
