In addition, Richard Matheson (I Am Legend) wrote the screenplay and Dan Curtis of Dark Shadows fame produced it. So there was some heavy talent involved in the production.

Another classic Kolchak movie tonight on Svengoolie (Oct 28), The Night Strangler (and) as a bonus, Trilogy of Terror with Karen Black.
That little voodoo doll was one scary creature for its time! {sm2}
In re. to Svengoolie, the program reminds me of the old Elvira shows on Saturday nights. Use to stay up to watch her and loved how she would stop or replay a scene to make some witty comments. Fun stuff!
Elvira showed the Dark Shadows movie, another classic. Although I enjoyed the Dark Shadows series, the budget was low and retakes seldom. I believe in more than one episode, the shadow of the microphone was visible.

Elvira was big (no pun intended) back when I was going to college in LA. Always enjoyed her humor. There was something else that I liked about her. TWO things in fact. LOL. I met her a few years ago at a horror convention. She hasn't changed much in the last thirty years. Someone should run her old shows.
I've been rewatching the old Dark Shadows shows over the last several years. There were over 1,200 and I'm up to about 950. Fantastic stuff. They gaffed their lines and knocked over the things on the set but they don't make them like that anymore. Lara Parker just passed away a few weeks ago.
Sadly these books are now expensive, same as most items related to The Night Stalker.
I doubt that Andy will ever produce a Cream coloured Mustang with Carl Kolchak figure, but never say never ^&grin
OZDIGGER:
The KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER bluray set has commentaries on all the episodes. Most of those who made the commentaries mention THE NIGHT STALKER COMPANION as the best information source.
If you can't afford the book, the bluray set is an alternative and the video quality is improved over the dvd set.

I've found with collecting that you'll always get something at a reasonable price if you're prepared to wait.
I can afford it, just not sure the latter editions are worth it.
I did have the 20th Anniversary edition, it was ok but ended up reselling it as it didn't have much on the tv series, mainly movie stuff. Maybe the 25th edition has some more info on the series. I'll buy the blu ray version when can get it at a reasonable price. I picked up a DVD set recently for $20 AUD. I note there are other books about the series, not sure how good they are.
Cool, I'll give you $20 ^&grin
Do you know if it's just a reprint of the 20th Ed or is there any additional information?
Kino Lorber has the KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER bluray set on sale for $39.95---which is $5 cheaper than last year. Free shipping with orders over $50.
