This screenplay was written by Richard Matheson - the guy who wrote I Am Legend, which was made into three movie versions: Last Man on Earth, Omega Man and I Am Legend (with Will Smith - this last version sucked).
This was an amazing TV movie starring Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak, a journalist with integrity. Kolchak was a guy brimful with integrity and passion. I loved this characterization when I was very young. He winds up fighting a vampire and bureaucratic corruption and cover-ups at the same time.
The dialogue, acting, characters...everything is just wonderful in this movie. It seems to me that ABC made some amazing TV movies in the 70s.
In honor of Holloween here's a REALLY amazing horror film.
