The Night Stalker
Thursdays, 9/8c

There are things in the dark, things adults deny but children are right to fearâ€¦

When a pregnant woman is snatched from her home, the shocked citizens of L.A. believe it's an act of domestic violence. But crime reporter Carl Kolchak suspects that the truth is far more complicated. That's because 18 months ago, Kolchak's wife was killed in a bizarre fashion and he has been the FBI's #1 suspect ever since.

Kolchak's determination to find out the truth behind his wife's mysterious murder has led him to investigate other crimes that seem to have some kind of supernatural component. But he's trying to piece together a puzzle that keeps changing its shape. Who or what is committing these crimes? How are they all related? And why do some victims end up with a strange red mark on their hands in the shape of a snake? With sidekick Perri Reed, a sexy if skeptical fellow reporter in tow, Kolchak will go to any lengths to answer these questions. But when he does discover the truth â€“ will anyone believe him?

Wow, this looks pretty bad. The original Night Stalker series was very cool, but this looks like it wants to be another type of CSI.

One of the benefits of working at an ABC affiliate TV station is that I got my hands on a video of the ABC fall season announcement dog and pony show they put on this Tuesday, and one of the things on the tape is a two minute promo reel for their new NIGHT STALKER. That two minute teaser was more than enough to know they've gone about it all wrong. It looks like they've eliminated all the sardonic humor and turned it into the kind of "X-Files" knock-off that would have premiered and been quickly cancelled about six or seven years ago. I wrote a story about for Dread Central complete with some stills I nabbed from the promo reel. Click below and prepare to be depressed.
