@RandomConcepts -- The inconclusive ending is because this was a pilot for a proposed series. The tapes seem to be the gimmick for starting each episode off. Pretty much a reworking of The Night Stalker. In the early '70s there was a pop culture craze for occultism and supernatural horror. Even Gene Roddenberry launched a failed series pilot "Spectre" with Robert Culp as a demon hunter.

wow! awesome movie, i mean tv movie. i can't believe it was not picked up for a series. at least night stalker was further developed. thanks for loading this.

@throb9 - The Night Stalker pilot film (1971) actually came out 2 years before this failed TV pilot which follows the same path. Occult horror and demonology was the hot trend in the early 70s in films and TV shows.

I wonder if this is why Kolchak usually begins by talking into a tape recorder

the visual sharpness of the film is quite good for 1973

so you blew the zombie away with a shotgun but later bring no weapon when pulling the ring off his finger?  hahaha...

never ever ever return as a zombie. i'd rather be dead and done with.

Wonderful, atmospheric '70's TV classic ! I loved the late Hurd Hatfield of Doran Gray fame as the creepy art dealer.

I think the first time I saw this was about 1977 or so and it scared the hell outta me. Still made me jump a few times. Great movie!!

Kolchak was the shcit. This seems like a spin-off
