Serial killer of women in Seattle? This aired (or was copyrighted) in 1972--before Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgway started their murder sprees. Could they have watched this episode and been influenced by it? :-/
That old man the Book Keeper is TV's Mr. PEEPERS, 1952 to 55. Easy to recognize! There was a NIGHT STALKER & a NIGHT STALKER the Strangler. The first & original 2 part program. Starring Darren Mcgavin also! HUGE, HUGE difference from the TV serial! The original NIGHT STALKER, scared the living Hell out of everybody: Made us believe again in Vampires!
@d2dotson That's a fact. We had Nightmare Theater here in Seattle in the 70's. I couldn't wait to watch it, even though I usually fell asleep just after it started at 11:30 on channel 7. Then I'd wake up when the station went off the air for the night and I missed it again. How I wish I could still sleep like that.
thanks for sharing this old tv show i have been looking for it and here it is good clearity. This brings back alot of memories and smiles......thnks again.
In today this guy would've become a celebrity and everything he wrote woul've been journalism gold. People would not have been able to get enough of his morbid monster stories and books.
hell, the government corpse is strangling people right now....and they took the cameras from around the pentagon on 9/11

Identical? Cheek bones protruding through the flesh. You gotta love all the great character actors and comic relief. Simon Oakland is fantastic.

I understand that the Jimmy Stack character played a part in the original movie but was cut out--I do not know if there is a Director's cut.
Usually editors are expert at leaving out good stuff.

Nice upload! This was my favorite of the two movies. Creepier, and McGavin is even better the second time around.
