I remember nothing about the plot line but inconsistency of filming locates; one being Las Vegas the other set being a big Victorian mansion. I just couldn't buy a Victorian mansion being in the Nevada desert.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050857323785108411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-21590929254752758002016-03-11T00:15:19.961-08:002016-03-11T00:15:19.961-08:00Actually, these weren't done as pilots - the f...Actually, these weren't done as pilots - the first movie spawned a sequel, and THEN ABC decided to spinoff a series (done at Universal without Curtis). One of the episodes gave Robert Zemeckis and his partner Bob Gale one of their first writing credits.<br /><br />The new version was actually called "Night Stalker" (no "The," just as they weren't called "Outer Limits" or "The Star Trek").Cindylover1969https://www.blogger.com/profile/13066290912212354782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-29085267520203884832016-03-10T16:11:56.334-08:002016-03-10T16:11:56.334-08:00There's an interesting 1965 novel titled PROGE...There's an interesting 1965 novel titled PROGENY OF THE ADDER, by Leslie Whitten, that is *very* similar to The Night Stalker. In fact there's been much debate, among folks who are interested in that sort of thing, as to whether Stalker creator Jeff Rice knew the novel beforehand.

I recall that, in my teenage years, this unified my whole family: Mom enjoyed the variety of folklore that it exploited, I loved the sheer diversion of it, and Dad appreciated its sly Watergate-era undertones, along the lines of "What horrors are The Establishment hiding from us?" David Chase, who would go on to "The Rockford Files" and then of course "The Sopranos," contributed some of his earliest work here. Creator Jeff Rice first pitched this as The Front Page meets Dracula. A minor but enduring classic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984112497088619496noreply@blogger.com
