(ABC - MGM / 7 mins)
Prod. & Dir. by - Gregg Carson

Dan Curtis, one of the most prolific TV genre producers of all time (DARK SHADOWS, THE NORLISS TAPES, TRILOGY OF TERROR), and literature's "king of the unusual" - writer Richard Matheson (I AM LEGEND, THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME, SOMEWHERE IN TIME) first teamed to great success on the 1972 hit TV movie THE NIGHT STALKER, about a modern day yet old school Las Vegas reporter (Darren McGavin) who stumbles upon a serial killer who happens to be the present day incarnation of an ancient vampire. The film would inspire a sequel TV movie, a weekly series, a 21st century TV redo, and even Chris Carter's THE X-FILES.

In a rare sit-down interview, Curtis talks of the genesis of the long beloved NIGHT STALKER phenomenon.
