I remember sitting in the dark by myself with a blanket around me watching this movie on a saturday evening and being scared crapless.
Even now as a 44 year old adult, I still have a dream at least once a year
that Janos Skorzeny is coming at me growling like he did at Kolchak when he opened that closet door.
Darn you Barry Atwater... I need my blanket now !!

When the first Kolchak movie premired on ABC Tuesday night movies in 1973 over 70 million people tuned in. No show today can come anywhere near those numbers. An interesting story, though the first film comes damned close to plagerising Leslie H. Whitten's 1965 novel PROGENY OF THE ADDER. (The lead in the book is a police detective. The scene with the used car dealer is exactly the same. Whitten's novel was set in D.C. not Vegas.) Still a wonderfully rousing tv movie with Darren McGavin as the down on his luck Carl Kolchak working on a murder story for his long suffering editor Tony Vincenzo (Simon Oakland), he discovers a link to other killings which amazingly seem like the work of a vampire. The beautiful Carol Lynly is his girl friend and Ralph Meeker plays his FBI buddy. Others in the cast include Claude Akins -- who would play a similar role a year or so later in Dan Curtis' other horror vehicle, THE NORLISS TAPES -- and Kent Smith. Look for a young Larry Linville (MASH) as the coroner. In THE NIGHT STRANGLER Kolchak turns up in Seattle. Vincenzo is having a glass of milk at the local reporter watering hole when he hears a familar voice. To the bartender he says, "Look around the corner and tell me if you see someone who looks like he just came from a roadshow version of the FRONT PAGE." Kolchak convinces him --against his better judgment -- to hire him on and once again Carl is on the trail of a killer who drains blood from his female victims and appears every 21 years! Beautiful, eerie scenes in the underground city. Also stars Wally Cox, John Carradine, Scott Brady and as the deadly Richard Malcolm, Richard Anderson (best remembered for his role as Steve Austin's chief Oscar Goldman on THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN.) Extras include two interviews with the late Dan Curtis about the films.

I believe these movies came out in the 70's. I was very impressed with the sound and picture quality. I remember seeing both of these movies when I was very young--they were really scary! I recommended these movies to a friend in work and he watched them with his young daugter--she had a hard time sleeping that night. It seems these two movies are just as scary today as they were when they first aired in the 70's. These movies are two of my all time favorits.
