The Ripper OPENING narration. Kolchak - The Night Stalker starring Darren McGavin

It’s Friday, 10PM, 1974, and that means The Night Stalker is on TV! Lucky are those of us, who watched The Night Stalker back in 1974! Experiencing it as a child, was a totally different, and MUCH scarier experience, than watching it as an adult!

As we fans know, the opening and closing narration sequences, were one of the interesting aspects of the show. Every Friday, for the next 20 weeks, video clips and text (so you can read along), of these sequences will be presented.

We start with opening narration from The Ripper!

If by chance you happened to be in the windy city between may 28th and June 2nd of this year, you would have had very good reason to be terrified. During this period Chicago was being stalked, by a horror so frightening so fascinating, that it ranks with the great mysteries of all times. It’s been the fictional subject of novels, plays, films, even an opera. Now; here, are the true facts.
