Early TV Horror

 

 (imdb)

AUTO-LITE PRESENTS "SUSPENSE": "THE YELLOW SCARF"-1949-Hettie (Felicia Montealegre), a street walker in 1876 London, is taken in by a mysterious and sinister doctor (Boris Karloff) who provides her with a room, clothes and food. Only two stipulations: she can't go out alone and she can never go into his lab. He has a hunchback assistant Tilson (character actor Russell Collins, unrecognizable in the makeup). Later to take attention away from his strange medical experiments, he marries her. She begins an affair with Tom (Douglas Watson), a mission worker. It doesn't end well.

 Very creepy and Karloff is especially sinister. Directed by Robert Stevens, the only person whoever won an Emmy for directing an episode of TV's “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”. Rex Marshall is the off-screen host/narrator.

Thanks for reading!
