This was a good movie. Carl Kolchack is a reporter in Las Vegas. He does not have a great reputation, but he gets the job done. A strange serious of murders sets him on an unusual path. All the bodies have been drained of blood. His girlfriend Gail mentions vampires, so off Carl goes down a mythic path. He can't convince anyone, but he soldiers on. He eventually meets Janos Skorzeny and destroys him, with the help of a cross and the sun. Naturally, the authorities don't want to admit the existence of vampires so they kill his story and order him out of town. Gail has already been sent out of town as an "undesirable element." Carl records his story on his tape recorder, thinking no one will ever believe him. Of course, one only encounters something this strange once in a lifetime, right?
I somehow missed this TV movie and the sequel, but I was all over the television series when it started. It is interesting to see how little changed from the movies to the show. It was also fun to see the amazing Larry Linville in a serious role here. This is a short movie, so there was a ton of padding with Sven and his crew. I expect Gewngoolie to be the breakout star here.
Next week- The Night Strangler!
