May 03, 2009It actually started as a 90 minute movie-of-the-week called The Night Stalker about a grizzled reporter in Las Vegas who investigates a series of killings and comes to suspect that the killer is a vampire - but noone will believe him. It was followed by another MOTW called The Night Strangler, set in Seattle if I remember correctly, and then it became a series for one season. The late Darren McGavin was always one of my favorite actors. It was redone (horribly) a couple of seasons ago and was mercifully canceled early.
