“Horror In The Heights” – Kolchak Saves Humanity Again!
I think "Horror In The Heights" was the best episode from the short lived "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" TV series. I have discussed Kolchak in prior posts but I watched this particular episode again recently. It was scripted by Hammer films vet, Jimmy Sangster, whose screenwriting credits included Hammer's "Curse of Frankenstein" and "Horror of Dracula". Very good credentials, indeed.
A series of ghastly murders are occurring in a neighborhood primarily populated by the elderly. What worse is that the bodies show the signs of being partially devoured! Our fearless reporter, Kolchak, begins to sense that the killings are far from ordinary. He comes upon the realization that an ancient Hindu supernatural being may be manifesting itself in this particular Chicago neighborhood and continuing its distasteful habit of man eating.
Very atmospheric and creepy television work on a level far above most. I definitely recommend you view it.
