Kolchak: The Night Stalker with Kendall Phillips - Host Mark Eddy

Author KENDALL PHILLIPS joins us to discuss his new publication "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." This one season show had cheesy but thought provoking monsters. But what made this show such a cult classic? Devoted fans still watch the reruns and there are social media groups with ever increasing numbers. Kendall gives us the background on this influential show, the creation of the Kolchak mythos, the pitfalls of the monster of the week; but more importantly, it laid the foundations for more recent, standout TV shows: "Walking Dead," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and the all important "X-Files." Join us for a fun discussion but we'll also have a look at the turbulent times from which it was spawned as well as the far reaching legacy. "The whistling has started."
