A curmudgeonly reporter in a perpetually rumpled seersucker suit, he had a wry sense of humor and a nose for finding the supernatural lurking in every corner. Carl Kolchak was first introduced into the American imagination by ABC in 1972 in what was for many years the highest rated television movie of all time, The Night Stalker. Another television movie followed in 1973 and then a television series appeared in 1974. While the series lasted for only twenty episodes, the influence of these tales of a Chicago-based investigative journalist and the horrifying creatures he faced each week can still be felt in American popular culture."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographic references (pages 103-107) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: "now here are the true facts": the dark corners of network television -- "Do you believe in vampires?" the creative forces behind Kolchak -- "Try to tell yourself, it couldn't happen here": bringing horror into the home -- "What do you mean, 'we,' white man?" investigating power and privilege in the gothic world -- "Well, goodnight Carl": diminishing returns of the monster of the week -- "Kolchak's coming back in style": The night stalker's cult influence. 630 00 $a Kolchak, the night stalker (Television program) 630 07 $a Kolchak, the night stalker (Television program) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01716177 650 0 $a Supernatural on television. 650 0 $a Horror television programs $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Horror television programs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00960449 650 7 $a Supernatural on television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02024705 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Television criticism and reviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02031375 655 7 $a Television criticism and reviews. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Contemporary approaches to film and television series. $p TV milestones. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030307.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DB986E2664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
