Best DVDBluRay Television Movie or Series Release | 2019
Beyond the 90-minute version, there was additional footage filmed featuring George Tobias as Jimmy "Stacks" Stackhaus, a reporter who had reported on the previous series of "Strangler" murders in the 1930's. In that footage, Kolchak tracks down the veteran reporter and speaks with him about the murders.
Darren McGavin and Richard Anderson are two of the more familiar faces from 1970s TV. Both played Steve Austin's handler in the "Six Million Dollar Man." McGavin co-starred in the original pilot movie as Oliver Spencer. Richard Anderson went on to star as the straight-laced Oscar Goldman in the TV series.
A planned third installment in the franchise, 'The Night Killers' was scripted, but ABC opted to develop the TV series instead of continuing the films. The plot had Tony Vincenzo hiring Kolchak to work for him in Honolulu. Whilst there, Kolchak discovers a cover-up involving UFOs, a nuclear power plant and important people being murdered and replaced by androids.
Final feature-length production with actor Wally Cox, who died suddenly about a month after this movie was released. (Cox did have one more acting appearance, in an episode of a television series.)
Aired as an installment of ABC's "The Wide World of Mystery (1973)" series on Feb. 8, 1974.
"[opening narration] Carl Kolchak: This is the story behind the most incredible series of murders to ever occur in the city of Seattle, Washington. You never read about them in your local newspapers or heard about them on your local radio or television station. Why? Because the facts were watered down, torn apart, and reassembled... in a word, falsified."
"[hearing Kolchak in a bar] Tony Vincenzo: Take a look around that corner, and see if there isn't someone that looks like he just came from a road company performance of "The Front Page.""
