KOLCHEK THE NIGHT STALKER : THE VAMPIRE ( 1975)

Kolchak : The Night Stalker was one of those programs that aired just a few years before I was born, but unfortunately never re-ran in my neck of the woods, until I was well into my 20s .

I pretty sure this was the first episode I saw of it , but it'd be a while since I watched it .

Playing the title character was Darren McGavin, entertaining as always , and in his latest adventure, he's hot on the trail of a mysterious and seductive Vampiress , whose prowling the streets of Los Angeles.

Of course, as per usual, Kolchak runs afoul of local law enforcement and of his editor , as he hustles his to get to the bottom of the story.

It's hystical and entertaining as always .

Airing on October 4th, 1974, the number one song was by Billy Preston.

DEADLY MESSAGES ( 1985)



In a a bit of diversion from 1970s Telefilm Horror, is a thriller gem from the 1985, Deadly Messages .

The film stars Kathleen Beller who also appeared two other good telefilms , Are You In House Alone?from 1978, and No Place To Hide , in 1981.

In this Hitchcockian style supernatural- thriller , she gives a great performance , and will definitely be an actress whose other works I'm gonna check out.

She reminds me quite a bit of The Penguin's Cristin Milioti, in terms of her looks and acting talent.

Unfortunately , as is the case with many of these telefilms from the 1970s and 1980s, I was too young to watch them when they aired, so , there are alot of great actors I'm discovering 40 ,and 50 years, after the fact.

I was 5 ,going on 6, when this aired, and I was probably in bed when it premiered .

But, even if I'm a few decades late to the party, I tip my hat her and the production .

Airing on February 21st , 1985 , among the top ten were several songs which became classics including this power balled by REO Speedwagon
