The acknowledged inspiration for The X-Files, and the basis for an updated 2005 network version, Kolchak: The Night Stalker was a short-lived 1974 series spun off from a pair of extremely popular made-for-TV movies about the supernatural adventures of dogged newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin). Though plagued by low ratings and critical brickbats, the show has cultivated a huge cult following over the past three decades, which has given rise to this three-disc set, which compiles all 20 episodes of the show. Though none of the episodic stories matches the suspense and writing strength of the Night Stalker or Night Strangler movies, TV horror fans will appreciate the parade of interesting and inventive monsters encountered by Kolchak (including a witches' coven in "The Trevi Collection"; an Aztec cult in "Legacy of Terror"; a Hindu Demon in "Horror in the Heights," which was penned by Hammer Films scribe Jimmy Sangster; and a headless biker in "Chopper," an episode deemed in extreme poor taste by Stephen King and co-written by Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale, and Sopranos creator David Chase). McGavin is of course topnotch as Kolchak, and he's well-matched by Simon Oakland as his hot-tempered boss; guest stars include Scatman Crothers, James Gregory, Phil Silvers, Eric Braeden, Tom Skerritt, and Richard Kiel as the monster in two back-to-back episodes. Sadly, no extras accompany this fun collection of Kolchak's creepiest cases. --Paul Gaita

I just found some interesting trivia about KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER that I never knew (and I see some other reviewers have mentioned it too).
David Chase, who would go on to create one of the greatest shows on TV, THE SOPRANOS, got his first Hollywood job as a story editor for THE NIGHT STALKER! Not only that, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale (USED CARS, BACK TO THE FUTURE) wrote one of THE NIGHT STALKER's wildest episodes, "Chopper," a modern-day update of the headless horseman legend ...

It's nice that they FINALLY release this DVD. The down side being it states that it has been digitally enhanced, but my VHS tapes have a better picture quality. Still, it's Kolchak on DVD.

I remember when this show used to come on... when I was a kid our local channel would put it on after midnight on a Friday. Now, today this show may seem a little hokey but back then it was really creepy.
I was very pleased by the DVD set. The episodes are intact and I got to watch several that I've never seen before. It was also interesting to see how reporting used to be done... you had to get out from behind your big steel desk and go to the library or go to the morgue or find a subject ... Read More
