There were THREE Kolchak TV movies written. Two were filmed. This is the never produced THIRD movie, written by grand master RICHARD MATHESON, with some extra help from Chuck Miller (author of KOLCHAK THE NIGHT STALKER DOUBLE FEATURE: PENNY DREADFUL and THE TIME STALKER)! Carl Kolchak in Hawaii! But the reporter who uncovered a vampire in Las Vegas and an immortal strangler in Seattle doesn’t find sun and fun in the Aloha State. He runs up against murderous entities from beyond this world in THE NIGHT KILLERS!

Just been reading about the third un filmed Kolchak movie, in The Lost Films Fanzine...Its pretty much your bog standard UFO landing, and humans in positions of power being replaced by androids....as it says in the mag, probably a good job it never got made, otherwise if it had bombed we probably would never have got the tv show...Also the ending has Carl running around machine gunning the aliens, which just seems highly improbable...The story is available in novel form if anyone is interested...
We did get something similar in the episode "Mr. R.I.N.G."...
