Talk about your bad day at the office … Carl Kolchak is a newspaper reporter with a unique ability to discover the supernatural causes of the stories he covers – but his boss won’t believe him.
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974-75)
A delightful horror series on ABC, Kolchak’s stories eventually moved to “Movie of the Week” status. Eventually, the production was cancelled when star Darren McGavin asked to be released from his contract. Three unproduced stories were eventually turned into a series of comic books in 2003.
Here’s a quick summary:
Carl Kolchak is a reporter for a Chicago newspaper. Through more accident than design he ends up investigating homicides, many of which involve supernatural forces. Ultimately, rather than reporting on the crimes, he solves them.

Night Stalker was my all time favorite TV show as a kid. I was 8 when it came on Friday night at 8PM on ABC. They used to show reruns in the summer for years and I can still remember eating Chef Boyardee’s pizza in our basement watching shows I had seen several times but still loving it. Carl was such an incredible character and the supporting cast was also wonderful. They tried a remake which didn’t have any of the humor. Hopefully, they will make the rumored movie
that has been gestating for years with Johnny Depp.
My favorite show.
Underrated, influential gem
