Gauntlet Press is publishing Richard Matheson’s Kolchak telefilm screenplays — “The Night Stalker”, “The Night Strangler”, and “The Night Killers” — in a compilation entitled RICHARD MATHESON’S THE KOLCHAK SCRIPTS. This will be the first time these screenplays will have seen print.The book will be edited by acclaimed Kolchak chronicler Mark Dawidziak (THE NIGHT STALKER COMPANION), and will include interviews with Matheson, William F. Nolan, Jeff Rice, and Dan Curtis. The book will also include never-before-released Kolchak artwork and photos.
“The Night Stalker” and “The Night Strangler” were two “Movies of the Week” in 1972 and 1973, respectively, and led to the Kolchak television series (1974-1975). “The Night Killers” is an unproduced script written by Matheson and Nolan, whose rights are still retained by director/producer Dan Curtis.
