A wisecracking procedural thriller that balances horror and humor as an obstinate reporter pursues a vampire through institutional skepticism and urban danger.

Wisecracking reporter Carl Kolchak investigates a string of murders in Las Vegas and suspects the culprit is a vampire. His editor thinks he's crazy and the police think he's a nuisance, so Kolchak takes matters into his own hands.
