The Night Stalker would air 50 years ago this year and would break the record for the most-watched TV movie ever at that time. The film would inspire many fans of horror and science fiction and would actually go on to inspire one of the most popular science fiction TV series of all-time 21 years after it aired. On this 50th anniversary, I think it is only right we return to the dark side of Las Vegas and roam the strip alongside Carl Kolchak as he searches the night for the truth in The Night Stalker. And famous fang fan David Dastmalchian will be joining us to talk about how The Night Stalker helped inspire his own creation in the comic book Count Crowley Amateur Midnight Monster Hunter and why the original film is one of the true classics of the genre.

The movie was great...the show, not so much.

There might be a new book coming out this year.

Glad I held off buying the expensive, out of print book floating around.

I got both of them, 20th & 25th Anniversary editions, when they first came out.
