I'm old enough to have seen the original Night Stalker when it first showed as a made-for-TV movie and then as a short TV series. It starred Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak, a reporter who searches for all kinds of weird phenomena. It was a great movie and series, and it was of course a huge influence for the creators of one of my other favorite series, The X-Files. Others might be familiar with McGavin with his role as the father in A Christmas Story.
He died of natural causes yesterday at age 83. Rest in peace, Carl Kolchak.
