Kolchak, The Night Stalker
“The Night Stalker” tv movie
(1972)
Starring: Darren McGavin, Carol Lynley, Simon Oakland, Ralph Meeker
Writers: Jeffrey Grant Rice, Max Hodge, Richard Matheson
DIR: John Llewellyn Moxey
Blurb: … Investigating a series of Las Vegas murders, Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) discovers that each victim has been bitten in the neck and drained of blood. Though Kolchak’s outlandish theory about the murders gets him nowhere with the police, his initiative to apprehend the killer himself gets him into hot water… with a modern-day vampire!
My Blurb: Uh, “modern-day” being circa 1972 of course. Before we even start, I want to give a kudo to Darren McGavin, whose Kolchak is sardonic and amusing and bumbling and brave and kind of a jerk, but you’re on his side anyway because Darren keeps him on the right side of charming to smooth over his less complimentary edges. I absolutely love him in this iconic role as the predecessor to Fox Mulder and his ilk.
