** The 50th anniversary Kickstarter book featured stories about the start of Carl's career, and how he got his hat. [[spoiler: as well as his death, committing suicide after being turned into a vampire by Janos Skorzeny's father.]]
* ExtraStrengthMasquerade: Given the sheer number of supernatural phenomena that Kolchak goes up against in Chicago alone, it is remarkable that TheMasquerade has remained in place. It is implied that this is due to the active efforts from the authorities to suppress any and all evidence that Kolchak might come up with.

It may not have hurt the series' reputation that subsequent credits for the show's writers included ''Series/TheSopranos'' (Creator/DavidChase was the ''de facto'' story editor), ''Series/HillStreetBlues'' and... ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' ("Chopper" has story credit for Creator/RobertZemeckis and Bob Gale)! Or that it was the direct inspiration for ''Series/TheXFiles'', the producer of whom (Frank Spotnitz) launched the aforementioned remake series.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Instead of using one of her (presumably normal) coven members, or even paying a homeless person off the street, in 'The Trevi Collection' Madelaine tricks Kolchak into destroying Trevi's power items. He's the only person likely to depower Madelaine [[spoiler: which he does]].
