Quiz
The series was cancelled because Darren McGavin asked to be released from his contract. Not only did he become disappointed with the series' scripts, but he ended up exhausted from the rigorous daily shooting schedule (beginning at 3:00 pm until just before sunrise) and his uncredited producing duties. Three scripts were left unproduced. Two of them were adapted into a "Kolchak" series of comic books in 2003.

Blooper
Many of the stories take place in the winter months, but there is never any snow, and even if there was no snow, it is highly unlikely one would be driving a convertible with the top down during the winter months in Chicago.

Citazioni
Carl Kolchak: If you want a job done right, you just have to foul it up yourself.

Curiosità sui crediti
During opening credits, Kolchak throws his hat at a wall hook, it misses and falls into the garbage. When the show first aired, there was an alternate opening where he threw his hat, it stays on the hook, and Kolchak has a surprised look on his face. This was Darren McGavin's genuine reaction, as he had not expected it to happen. After the first few episodes, the opening was changed to the one that is currently shown on reruns and media releases.

New TV series doesn't match the old...

I was just looking over the new series made for ABC TV. Good god. I was just contemplating what a new series would be like, and then I find it...and I guessed right; watered down, fancy boy crud.

The old series of Night Stalker was a zeitgeist, about being a regular guy, trying to find the truth, which was always hidden by authorities. Much like the times, it had a soul that went to the heart of public feelings, while working in the frame genre of horror/suspense. But, instead of writing to connect the public to their inner feelings about society wrapped in entertainment, the new series is about black and white working together, hot and fancy, to find less then archetypal mysteries. Kolchak brought a pulpy sense of reality to light, and portrayed the seedy side of life without being moralistic. It was Columbo of the supernatural. It didn't create fanciful immorality, like the goth culture today, and it didn't put searing political statements all over. It tried to entertain. And it did. Hence the popularity through the years. Anyone, like myself, who saw this in their childhood remembers it today.

The new series is destined to be another watered down bastardization of brilliant TV.
