The Night Stalker
Wisecracking Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) is a rumpled news hound plucked from the fast-talking newspaper flicks of the 1940s and dropped into the swinging '70s. What makes the eccentric Kolchak even more unique, however, is his nose for the supernatural, a trait that leaves his editor (Simon Oakland) exasperated and the police less than amused. When he insists that a late-night Las Vegas serial killer (who leaves his victims drained of blood and sporting twin holes in the neck) is a modern-day vampire, he's practically run out of town by the local authorities. Naturally, he stalks the vampire himself, an unlikely Van Helsing armed with a silver cross, a wooden stake, and his ever-present tape recorder and flashbulb camera. Carol Lynley is his understanding girlfriend, and Ralph Meeker, Claude Akins, Kent Smith, and Charles McGraw costar as the Vegas cops and politicians Kolchak systematically alienates with his abrasive charm and smart mouth. Directed by Dan Curtis from a witty script by Richard Matheson, the quirky mix of horror and humor turned The Night Stalker into a ratings sensation that inspired a sequel (The Night Strangler) and a short-lived TV series (Kolchak: The Night Stalker). The X-Files creator Chris Carter acknowledges the show as a major inspiration, and has cast McGavin in a recurring role as a retired X-Files veteran with an acerbic personality and a familiar rumpled wardrobe. Kolchak lives! --Sean Axmaker
The Night Strangler
The Night Strangler finds down-on-his-luck investigator Carl Kolchak in Seattle, hot on the trail of a serial killer hiding in the underground city beneath the streets, a gas-lit fantasy world frozen in time (L.A.'s famous Bradbury Building--which has also appeared in Blade Runner and DOA--becomes the spooky city's architectural centerpiece). Exotic dancer and medical student Jo Ann Pflug tags along as partner and bait, and the exasperated Simon Oakland returns as Kolchak's harried editor. Genre fans will enjoy the appearances of popular character actors John Carradine, Margaret Hamilton, Wally Cox, and Al Lewis. Noted horror and science fiction author Richard Matheson scripted this meandering, low-key thriller with plenty of humor, which McGavin delivers with deadpan delight. --Sean Axmaker

A great movie from the days of my youth. As fun and intense as ever! I think the name of the vampire, Janos Skorzeny, was used as the name of a werewolf in a different TV series, as well. I also liked the TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker, with the monster-of-the-week format. Too bad that one did not last too long. Another thriller from Dan Curtis Productions.

Darren McGavin, the classic investigative reporter at his finest in this double feature, retro film pack. If you really loved the 70's these are a must have for your collection. The Night Stalker gets right into action in the first few scenes. Even though it's older technology, you can still get a tingle out of 'em, and both the Stalker and Strangler are remarkably creepy. Curl up with your sweetie and make a night of it. Definitely recommended for a blast from the past!

for those too young to know or remember , take our word for it . others here will go into much greater detail about these wonderful (made for television) films . both of and for 1970's tv . in my late forties , these films still captivate me and creep me out . this relentless and admittedly cliched reporter stereotype was and remains a superb guide into things dark and haunting . thanks to its' lead actor and much better than average telefilm writing and directing , these films are timelessly scary . the series ...

This is just as good as I remember it from when I was a kid in the 70's. I LOVE it! There is nothing like classic movies without all the blood, guts and teens having s*x everywhere. We showed this for my 14 and 12 year friends for their birthdays. What a hit. We didn't have to worry about sex, bad violence, gore, etc. My kids, their friends and parents could watch it and have a great time. In fact, we had such a great time with this we are showing classic horror/scary moving all summer at our home. Great ... Read More
