Movie Description
The cult television series that inspired THE X-FILES, KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER was not nearly as successful as that later show yet still maintains an influence. The show, which ran from 1974 to '75 follows the creepy adventures of Carl Kolchak, a scruffy, cynical reporter played by Darren McGavin. When Kolchak finds that the murderer responsible for a series of bloody murders plaguing his home city of Las Vegas is a member of the undead, a vampire out for food, he undertakes a quest to defeat the bloodsucking fiend. Gritty, dark, and dramatic, KOLCHAK was described by many critics as too scary for television.

Credits
Cast:Barry Atwater, Edward Faulkner, Elisha Cook Jr., Jordan Rhodes, Larry Linville, Simon Oakland, Virginia Gregg

      Kolchak - The Night Stalker The Collection

    The very Roots of the X-Files this Cheap and Cheezy Series is what started it all! I Love Darin McGaven AKA Kolchak. Every story is an edge of your seat mystery culmanating in the death of the Vampire of Zombie or Warewolf by our beloved hero Kolchak. Then he wraps up the story with a little voice over epilog in Kolchaks own words...always underscoring how he's saves the city and nobody believes him. He's a real hero. This series shows how really great drama can come from shows with little or no budget. I bought my dad a copy.

    I remember sneaking up to watch this show after my bed time and being scared out of my wits. Even today some of the story lines are extremely spooky. It would be hard to watch Carl Kolchak sew the lips shut on a sleeping zombie without having chills.
    Chris Carter said that this show was his inspiration for the X-Files and I can see some parallel in a few episodes.
    Darren McGavin plays the role of Carl Kolchak with great ease. His drab blue suit and his funky hat add to his character. It's too bad they only shot 20 episodes. I have read a few articles and Darren McGavin was quoted as saying he was glad the show was cancelled as it was not a good time filming these episodes. You wouldn't know it though by watching.
    The video quality on the set is average. There is a lot of noticable dust and debris in the footage. Some of the night scenes suffer from being too dark and grainy. Each episode does have 4 chapters and each disc has a "Play All" feature.
    The audio tracks sound OK for their age and I didn't notice any hiss. They are English and Spanish subtitles. There are no extra features on this set.

    All 20 episodes of the series are included on 3 discs, 2 of which are double-sided:

    Disc 1, Side A (3:25:49)
    The Ripper (51:42)
    The Zombie (51:28)
    They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be... (51:50)
    The Vampire (51:49)

    Disc 1, Side B (3:25:44)
    The Werewolf (50:51)
    Firefall (51:23)
    The Devil's Platform (51:40)
    Bad Medicine (51:50)

    Disc 2, Side A (3:26:05)
    The Spanish Moss Murders (51:45)
    The Energy Eater (51:49)
    Horror in the Heights (51:12)
    Mr. R.I.N.G. (51:19)

    Disc 2, Side B (3:22:08)
    Primal Scream (50:30)
    The Trevi Collection (50:30)
    Chopper (50:33)
    Demon in Lace (50:35)

    Disc 3, Side A (3:22:03)
    Legacy of Terror (50:29)
    The Knightly Murders (50:30)
    The Your Killer (50:34)
    The Sentry (50:30)


    Overall great set that was far overdue. Stories are well acted by a great cast of regulars and guest stars. Much better than the short-lived show that appeared on ABC last fll.
