...Hi Fenris - thanks for that, interesting stuff. <br /><br />I remember rather liking the remake but being disapointed in the lack of vampiresTaliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-53177060021378796282015-03-01T14:59:55.645-08:002015-03-01T14:59:55.645-08:00From Taliesin's review;

I would have liked to have seen this tied firmly with the first film but that never happened, it was only intimated.</i><br /><br />This was apparently due to copyright reasons. Although both the <i>Night Stalker</i> and <i>Night Strangler</i> pilot movies and the subsequent <i>Kolchak: the Night Stalker</i> series were all produced by Universal and screened (in America) on ABC, for some legal reason that I don't pretend to understand, ABC hold the rights to the movies and Universal hold the rights to the series. So despite the characters of Kolchak and Vincenzo appearing in both, the series couldn't specifically refer to any of the events that occurred in the movies.<br /><br />Likewise, when ABC made a revival series called <i>Night Stalker</i> in 2005 (with Stuart Townsend as Kolchak), they were only allowed to use characters that had appeared in the original two movies that ABC held the rights to - so there was no sign of series regulars such as Ron Updike, Miss Emily, Gordy the Ghoul, etc.fenrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612110451975641628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-72643414498694044332008-08-21T07:58:00.000-07:002008-08-21T07:58:00.000-07:00Chickyou can't just state you had a damn good time...Chick<BR/><BR/>you can't just state you had a damn good time in a hotel and leave it at that!

Beyond anything else the films were original, the series, as a spin off, were not as muchTaliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.com
