The story "The Devil is not Mocked" was published in the magazine UNKNOWN in 1943 and written by H.P. Lovecraft's contemporary, Manly Wade Wellman. The Night Gallery episode takes a few minor liberties with the story (Dracula's grandson, servants in the castle both weren't present in the original story. Dracula was the lone occupant, except for the wolves who help slaughter the Nazis.) This was a pretty good, if tongue in cheek, adaptation of a fantasy story written DURING World War II, and was certainly not intended to be an "accurate" historical account but a parable about the nature of evil. Francis Lederer does a good job playing Dracula here, with the suitable duplicity and hospitality that has been part of the character since the original novel.

This show doesn't seem to know "The Great War" was WW I, not WW II. Or that Transylvania in WW II belonged to German allies, not enemies, and were not under German rule. A slap in the face of history. It's unforgivable that they didn't do the research before writing this.

I saw Francis Lederer in a movie in which he played a vampire/Count Dracula type years ago. Can't remember its title.

But, please tell me why were both of tonights stories about WW2.I think the one about vampires was the best of the two.

"A Question of Fear" is just superb. Really nice editing (the direct shots of the flashlight moving really helps) and Leslie Nielson (mustache, eye patch and all) is just amazing. I can't think of a Night Gallery that's just so typical plain vanilla scary, and what a twist. Just well-done all the way around."The Devil if Not Mocked" does a really nice job with costumes and settings and is a nice short tale. Fairly obvious but nicely done anyway.
