I’m surprised that the “The Night Stalker” TV movie did not make the list. This landmark, Las Vegas-based vampire film drew huge television ratings in 1972. And, the succeeding ABC series, “Kolchak: The Night Stalker,” featured another vampire (one of Janos Skorzeny’s original victims from the tv film), who travelled from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and battled with the indefatigable Carl Kolchak.
Of course, I think that the original “Dark Shadows” should have been number one on the list instead of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer.” As I recall, the late, great Louis Edmonds was not a huge fan of the 1991 DS reboot, saying he barely made it through the first episode on NBC.
