Greetings,

Back in the '70's there was the ABC Movie of the Week. They showed, quality, made for television movies with incredible talent. It was through the ABC Movie of the Week that we saw "Kung Fu," "Brian's Song" and a host of other good quality shows. One movie that really stood out and got notice was an urban vampire movie called "The Night Stalker" this show was pretty much the talk of the town or, to put it nicely, it rocked!! It starred the late Darren McGavin and the show's success spawned a series of the same name that may have been influencial the creation of "The X Files"

Here is a tidbit found on Youtube. At 5:27 you will hear score that may have influenced the motifs used in the 5 Venoms (it does sound like Shaw Brothers lifted this one):
