directed by Dan Curtis

Reporter Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) moves to Seattle where he runs a familiar face from Las Vegas, Tony Vincenzo (Simon Oakland). Tony is now working as an editor for a Seattle newspaper. He hires Kolchak and assigns him to cover a recent murder. The killer strangled an exotic dancer while she walking home late at night.

Researcher Titus Berry helps Kolchak establish a supernatural angle to the crime. Vincenzo refuses to buy the angle so Kolchak digs deeper (with a lot of help from Berry) and finds a pattern: every 21 years (going back to at least 1889) six women have been murdered in the same way (strangulation) within an eighteen day period. Vincenzo refuses to accept that the murders from decades ago have anything to do with the current string of murders.
