He find out the killer has been working Seattle and other areas for decades, seemingly immortal, and ends up on a chase that takes him all over Seattle and even under the streets to Old Seattle (or Underground Seattle as the tourists call it.)Įven though these movies are 30+ years old, they are not dated.

That works out great, because when another serial killer emerges in downtown Seattle, this time strangling Go-Go girls and draining something out of their head, it's definitely not a vampire! Kolchak cleans up and is once again trying to solve a case that will get him back into the big time. Taking pity on Kolchak, his Editor hires him once again with the admonition of no more vampire stories. As it happens, his old Editor was also ran out of Las Vegas for the vampire story and also winds up in Seattle. He's unhireable and ekes out a living as a freelance journalist. In Strangler we see that Kolchak has wound up in Seattle, a drunken shell of the man we saw in Stalker. Kolchak eventually figures out the case long before the police do and instead of being rewarded he gets run out of another town. When it turns out the serial killer is really a vampire, even better yet! Unfortunately his Editor (Simon Oakland) and the Clark County Sheriff (Claude Akins) don't feel the same way. When a serial killer emerges in downtown Las Vegas Kolchak sees it as his break back into the big leagues and starts tracking the case with the keen determination of a man on a mission.
In Stalker we find him in Las Vegas working for the only paper that will still hire him. He used to be a prominent reporter in all the major US cities, but for reasons left to the viewers imagination Kolchak has either been fired from or run out of said major cities. A throwback to the days when news was about the truth, he's a hard drinking, bad dressing reporter more concerned about getting the facts than making friends. Carl Kolchak is a newsman like none other.
