High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is an episode list for
the original 1974-1975 television series Kolchak: The Night Stalker,
produced by Universal Television for the ABC Television Network. Through
1972 & 73, ABC had produced and aired two made-for-TV movies, which
became the de facto pilots for the subsequent series. The original
movie, based on an unpublished novel, entitled simply The Night Stalker
would spawn a direct sequel in the form of an episode of the series: The
Vampire. The second movie, The Night Strangler, however, was an entirely
original story. The first episode of the series, The Ripper, is
sometimes mistaken as the pilot of the series and shares a number of
plot similarities with the 2nd movie.
