Season two, episode seven- 10.30.76 Almost like an episode from Kolchak: The Night Stalker, it was a special holiday episode- just in time for Halloween. I don't watch much regular broadcast televsion these days, but I was thinking about this this morning- back when, television shows would have special Halloween episodes where things go creepy for an episode and everything is back to normal the next week- I especially remember an episode of Happy Days that was, to the five year old me, was pretty terrifying. The Hardy Boys encountered Dracula on their show. (Even though it wasn't a Halloween episode, Eight is Enough did an episode based around Psycho, airing in January. I was eight, yes it was scary.)

Starsky and Hutch: Vampire
How did I never hear about this? There was a vampire episode of Starsky and Hutch, starring John Saxon as the vampire and it's directed by Bob Kelljan of the Count Yorga movies. I've included a link to the minisode version- it's like a Reader's Digest edition.
