Kolchak: The Night Stalker – Episode 1: The Ripper
Kolchak: The Night Stalker – Episode 2: The Zombie
We started watching the first few episodes of Kolchak: The Night Stalker tonight, and it is every bit as fun as I remembered. Darren McGavin is absolutely magnetic as Carl Kolchak, stumping around in that rumpled suit and straw hat, cassette recorder in hand, trying to convince his furious boss that actual monsters are roaming around. (There are several bits of the “old man” from A Christmas Story fling out in moments of his frustration, too)
This seeded every monster of the week show that came after (for good or bad). It makes for fantastic seasonal filler as we start winding our way toward Halloween.
