Trivia / The Night Stalker

• Playing Against Type: Larry Linville plays a doctor who is calm, rational, and one of the few Reasonable Authority Figures in the film, much unlike his usual roles as Jerkasses. It's especially notable since he later popped up in the series playing a character who actually did fit into his usual type.
• Referenced by...:
  • The short-lived tv show Werewolf (1987) (which had a lot in common with Kolchak: The Night Stalker) named its main villain Janos Skorzeny in tribute.
  • The Nightmares & Dreamscapes short story "The Night Flier" echoes the title and is also about an investigative reporter tracking a serial killer who's actually a vampire.
