“The Night Stalker” (1972) was produced by veteran TV and feature film director-producer Dan Curtis. Curtis was best-known for producing and directing his own classic mammoth ABC television network gothic horror series masterpiece production, “Dark Shadows” (1966-71) with Jonathan Frid (in the lead role of vampire Barnabas Collins) and Grayson Hall (in the lead role of Dr. Julia Hoffman, also of 1972’s “Gargoyles” fame). Curtis also directed two classic mammoth Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) gothic horror feature film masterpiece adaptations of his ABC-TV “Dark Shadows” series; “House of Dark Shadows” (1970) with Frid and “Night of Dark Shadows” (1971, produced around the same time that ABC cancelled “Dark Shadows”). 20 years after the final ABC broadcast of “Dark Shadows,” Curtis would re-team with MGM to produce a newer, short-lived primetime “Dark Shadows” series for rival network NBC in 1991 with Ben Cross in the role of Barnabas Collins in the latter/brief “Dark Shadows” series revival.
Alongside his “Dark Shadows” productions and the two ABC “Kolchak” made-for-TV movies, one of Curtis’ other productions included his classic mammoth ABC made-for-TV movie horror/thriller anthology masterpiece production of “Trilogy of Terror” (1975) with Karen Black , Robert Burton, John Karlen, George Gaynes, Jim Storm, Kathryn Reynolds, Orin Cannon, Gregory Harrison, Tracy Curtis and the vocal stylings of Walker Edmiston.

The classic mammoth 1972 Curtis-ABC “Kolchak” made-for-TV movie masterpiece was directed by veteran TV and made-for-TV movie director-producer John Llewellyn Moxey. Moxey previously directed seven episodes of the classic mammoth British action-drama TV series adaptation of Leslie Charteris’ novelizations for Lord Lew Grade’s Associated Television (ATV)/ITC, “The Saint” with a pre-James Bond Roger Moore (Moxey directed episodes of “The Saint” from 1963-67). Moxey later focused on directing productions in the United States. Alongside “The Night Stalker” (1972), Moxey directed one episode of the classic mammoth William Castle/Columbia Pictures-Screen Gems/ABC supernatural/thriller masterpiece series, “Circle of Fear” (Moxley directed the 1972 episode of “Circle of Fear” titled “The New House” with Sebastian Cabot of TV’s “Family Affair” fame, David Birney, Barbara Parkins, Sam Jaffe and a cameo appearance by Castle).
He also directed one episode of the brief CBS/Twentieth Century Fox (Twentieth Century Studios) “Perry Mason” revival with Monte Markham, “The New Perry Mason” (Moxley the 1973 episode “The Case of the Ominous Oath”). To paraphrase Sven, John Lewellen Moxey worked on ‘Almost Perry Mason!’ -C.H. Near the conclusion of his directorial career, Moxey directed 18 episodes of the classic mammoth long-running Universal Studios-CBS detective/mystery masterpiece series with Angela Lansbury, “Murder She Wrote” (Moxey directed his episodes of the series from 1984-91).

Veteran writer-producer Max Hodge co-wrote the screenplay with Matheson in an uncredited position in the 1972 ABC “Kolchak” made-for-TV feature production. Matheson and Hodges’ teleplay was adapted from an original idea of an unpublished novel by Jeffrey Grant Rice.

Alongside feature-length productions that were produced by the network’s in-house production unit, ABC also contracted with veteran producer Aaron Spelling‘s production company, veteran producer and documentarian David L. Wolper‘s production outfit (Wolper would later sell his production company to Warner Bros. in 1976), Universal Studios/MCA and Columbia Pictures/Screen Gems (Columbia’s TV unit was later rebadged as Columbia Pictures Television in 1974) to produce made-for-TV movies for the network’s “Movie of the Week” showcases, according to Michael McKenna’s retrospective book on ABC’s slate of made-for-TV movies, “The ABC Movie of the Week: Big Movies for the Small Screen” and the Film Score Monthly forum.
