    Hardly a week goes by that, at the very least, one viewer will sadly admit that they miss the beloved series that aired weekly late night on our “Super Sci Fi Saturday Night” featuring the intrepid and somewhat rumbled reporter whose beat was the supernatural. There is reason to rejoice for all those fans who feel the same way-because tonight on MeTV- we have the origin story of that favorite reporter character who somehow always ends up pursuing the truth about something deadly from the realm of the unbelievable. It’s the made-for-TV movie that introduced us to Carl Kolchak, who’s out to convince authorities that they are dealing with a Vegas vampire- “The Night Stalker”!
