The premise
After being run out of Las Vegas, reporter Carl Kolchak heads for Seattle and another reporting job with the local paper. It's not long before he’s on the trail of another string of bizarre murders. It seems that every 21 years, for the past century, a killer murders a certain number of people, drains them of their blood, and then disappears into the night. Kolchak is on his trail, but can he stop him?
Horror Vault's take
Rumpled reporter Carl Kolchak lands in Seattle only to find himself tangled in a century-old pattern of gruesome killings that defy rational explanation. The murders repeat on an eerily precise schedule, and the trail leads Kolchak somewhere far beneath the city's surface. This TV-movie follow-up doubles down on the formula that made its predecessor a hit — a lone, tenacious newsman versus something that shouldn't exist. Expect deadpan wit laced through genuine dread, and a killer whose nature is as unsettling as his methods.
