Your right, the music is between both movies is very simular. I think the Salem's Lot sound crew knew good background music when they heard it!

I like the modern twist on the old Hammer films when this film suddenly takes the situation out of the gothic fantasy and into a real situation when the Policed turn up to witness the heroic vampire hunter in the act of apparently murdering someone.

I loved this late night cult TV series as a teenager but I never knew about this pilot made for tv movie. As a fan of the British Hammer horror movies I can see that this movie climax is clearly based on the early Dracula movies with the Peter Cushing vs Christopher Lee final battles. The only difference was they mostly took place in a church and Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) had no one to come to his rescue.

allegorically, kolchak is the tea party, the vampire represents the politicians and the woman on the bed is the treasury, which is being sucked dry. the vampire challenges the tea party in the closet but then realizes the TP has great power. then the tea party pulls the curtain back on the politicians exposing them to the light of day. the sheriff, that would be the attorney general holder who refuses to admit that the politicians are at fault and puts the tea party in jail.
