Exploring the spooky adventures of America's bravest journalist.
Reporter Carl Kolchak. He never won any awards, published any books, or became famous as a reporter. But that doesn't mean he didn't deserve those things! While other journalists were trying to be Bernstein and Woodward by exposing politicians and crime, Kolchak risked his life uncovering vampires, werewolves, and moss monsters-- and he did it all alone!
Sound too incredible to believe? (You're as bad as his editor.) But if you open your mind to the possibilities and listen to his taped reports, you'll think differently!
Darren McGavin played the intrepid Carl Kolchak, a reporter for INS. His gruff editor Tony (Simon Oakland) always buried his shocking exposés -- but not without coming to admire Kolchak's tenacity and grit (like the rest of us did). The 1972 Night Stalker TV movie broke all previous ratings records, and spawned another TV movie, as well as 20 episodes of classic TV horror.
Join hosts Laen August and Kurt Kuersteiner (the same maniacs who brought you the LostInSpacePodcast.com) as they pull back the curtain of time and peer into the dark abyss of the paranormal... a place few journalists dare tread (and none dare publish!) You'll hear not only the stories from all 20 episodes and both movies, but also the behind-the-scenes tales of what was happening on and off the set.
If you like truly scary stories, very humorous characters, and fast paced thrills, you'll enjoy listening to and remembering one of the best horror shows of the last 50 years: The Night Stalker television series on The Night Stalker Podcast.
Be there if you dare!
You'll hear detailed reviews (and background info) about:* The Night Stalker TV Movie (1972)
* The 2nd TV Movie (The Night Strangler, 1973)
* The Night Stalker TV series (all 20 episodes, 1974 - 1975)

So plug in, zone out, and start STALK'N!
