Talk:The Night Strangler (film)

The name of the article
Falcon8765 put a tag on this article suggesting the need to move it to a different name, and saying to read the discussion on this talk page. I find no discussion, so I'm starting one with this post. I chose the name "The Night Strangler (telemovie)" based on the title of the article The Night Stalker (telemovie), the subject of which is this telemovie's prequal. I see no problem. The other obvious possibility would be "The Night Strangler (film)." A page by that name exists; it is a redirect page. Before I created this article it rediredted to Kolchak: The Night Stalker; I have now edited it to redirect here instead.

I really don't think the use of "(telemovie)" in an article's name is a problem, when the subject of the article is a telemovie. It has been used in other WP articles, and when used correctly is more specific, and in some cases (when the telemovie is not shot on film) more accurate. There is, I suppose some question as to whether articles on telemovies belong under the Film Project or the Television Project, but I don't see that creating a problem with the artcle's name.Floggolozzo (talk) 03:53, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Spoiler/Ending
In a "Underground city" under the old clinic, Kolchak has a face to face confrontation with Dr. Malcolm/Richards; the night strangler admits having first tried the elixir in 1868 and that he had hoped to spread the knowledge of immortality until he started aging in 1889 and his family also died {their mummified remains are kept near the doctors laboratory}. Before the night strangler can drink his sixth creation of elixir {he claims the 7th creation of 21 years in the future will make the process permanent}, Kolchak smashes the beaker. The night strangler tries to kill Kolchak but fails due to his body begining to grow old; as the Police burst into the room the aging killer commits suicide by throwing himself outside a high window.
