The Night Stalker

Darren McGavin stars as rumpled Las Vegas reporter Carl Kolchak in the first of two classic made-for-TV chillers that spawned the 1974-75 series. While tracking a string of bizarre deaths that leave the victims drained of their blood, Kolchak becomes convinced a vampire is roaming the neon streets. And with the local authorities dismissing him as a crackpot, he takes it upon himself to bring the fanged menace down. With Barry Atwater, Carol Lynley, Simon Oakland. 74 min.
