[@susprime7018]

Darren McGavin was one of my favorite actors, thank you, especially The Night Stalker.

[@alcoholic2412]

Me too.

[@kevinvilmont6061]

Kolchack “The Night Stalker, The Night Strangler” are both great.

[@rogereisnaugle6012]

He was good in that Christmas Story movie.

[@jeffolsen4983]

Also as Mike Hammer in the TV series. In it he is almost the same character as he later became in Kolchak.

[@Julie-sl8ul]

He plays his characters so well that a person can hate HIM. That's talent!

[@dancingpixie6120]

I thought that was Carolyn Jones!! I miss this kind of TV.

[@DexterHobbs]

Yep. I always look for older popular actors as guest stars on these types of TV shows. Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, One Step Beyond etc.

[@fortysomethingbadgirls2173]

I love it. She played him at his own game....

[@rhondae8222]

I'm a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock and his movies. 😊

[@dawnwinther376]

Same in my household too. 😊 This will be a nice watch for the weekend.

[@jacquelinejanz8466]

I am, as well. Love his films, and his quirky personality‼️

[@thisisme3238]

Me too! Grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock.

[@j1947m]

I am a fan of his WORK.....but NOT of him as a human being after he hurt Tiippy Hedrin like that while making "The Birds" because she wouldn't give him her favors.....he was NOT a nice person at all!

[@ginaluciano9933]

My dad got me hooked on this from age 3. I'm 42 & still watch these classic pieces of heaven daily❤ Nobody will ever top Hitchcock or Rod Serling

[@karenhope6986]

LOL...what a great, wry sense of humor!

[@theonlybuzz1969]

If you think this is good, listen to the audio book on Audible about Hitchcocks life. Called the twelve lives of Alfred Hitchcock. Has loads of insights into the history of Alfred i

[@PoshPilgrim1776]

I met Darren McGavin in 1981. He was the guest star on a TV show where I worked. One day during lunch break he came to the production office, asked to use a typewriter and typed away for several minutes on several sheets of paper. When he finished he said, "I had to type up a new lease for my tenant." McGavin was a smart, down to earth, personable man.

[@brendaleigh7834]

I love Darren McGavin! 💕

[@wendyhannan2454]

Yes, he was a great actor, I haven’t seen him in a movie for many many years. He also had a great speaking voice, I love the old black and white movies. They were fabulous actors back in those days.

[@mjrchapin]

Hitchcock was on a US chat show, maybe Dick Cavett, I don't recall. The host asked Why did you come to America? Hitchcock: It was part of a cultural exchange program. Host: Well what did the US send in exchange?" Hitchcock: Nobody knows; they're afraid to open it.

They should be.

[@AABB-bm9kk]

Carolyn Jones is almost unrecognizable with short blond hair and no Morticia persona. As Jon Lovitz used to say on SNL: “Acting! “ 🥰😀

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Wow, I knew she looked familiar but couldn't place her!

[@fepeerreview3150]

Check out a film called A Hole in the Head, with her and Frank Sinatra. She was really versatile. She also played the victim, a sort of 1890s coquette, in Vincent Price's The House of Wax.

[@robertmudrow8034]

She's instantly recognisable but looks a bit odd as a blond. She looked good in any hairstyle. Check King Creole.

[@mjp96]

She's as beautiful as always, and fine acting.

[@joannecarpenter8725]

Marvelous ending! Another Fantastic Hitchcock plot!

[@davidarundel6187]

Keep looking for Mr Hitchcock's cameo's, and miss them - even when the television series were running , and his movies prior to that . A good excuse to watch good work again .

Darren McGavin plays an excellent villain, once again. George MacCready is in this, and he is NOT the heavy, here. Also, sprightly Carolyn Jones has a prominent role. Excellent AHP episode! Oh, and lovely Ruta Lee shows up. Hitch had real pull getting these big stars to play for him!

Kolchak when he had his own hair and not one of those bad wigs he wore that were so obvious to pick out in the TV series. And he had beautiful hair. And Morticia who had such strong feminine appeal. Great chemistry between these two actors. Between the two there was lots of personality and sex appeal.
