A wisecracking reporter hunts a vampire through the neon-lit streets of 1972 Las Vegas.
THE NIGHT STALKER
Wisecracking reporter Carl Kolchak investigates a string of gruesome murders in Las Vegas. It seems that each victim has been bitten in the neck and drained of all their blood. Kolchak is sure that it is a vampire. He's hot on the trail, but nobody believes him. His editor thinks he's nuts and the police think he's a hindrance in the investigation, so Kolchak takes matters into his own hand.
Kolchak was chasing vampires on TV before it was cool.
Before urban legends went viral, Carl Kolchak was pounding the pavement with a notepad, a sharp tongue, and a healthy suspicion that Las Vegas had bigger problems than rigged blackjack. The Night Stalker dishes out pulpy horror with a side of newsroom sarcasm and a vampire who makes Sin City even less safe after dark.
