Janos Skorzeny Version 2

I took a Surak head and made some changes

Not familiar with the character. Every time I see the last name in a thread title, I think of Otto. Pitfalls of being a historian I guess.

So what's the backstory between these two heads? I gather the character was a movie vampire?

The Night Stalker tv vampire. Rather popular based on my selling rate for the character. I was asked to do it. I wouldn't have done it except I thought it would be cool to have a Surak so I did that first and the snarling face for the Skorzeny.

But it also the name of Chuck Connors character in the Werewolf tv series so I could pull a fast one and have that next time.

Thanks.

Great job.

"The Night Stalker" and "Salem's Lot" were two made-for-TV movies that were really a bit too scary for primetime. Both gave me the heebee jeebies when I was around 12.

To this day, I still remember the scene where Darren McGavin’s reporter character, Carl Kolchak, enters the vampire’s lair. It still creeps me out. He finds a woman still alive, tied to a bed with intravenous needles replenishing her blood supply from bags of blood Skorzeny stole from a local hospital. The vampire preferred to drink his meals directly from the warm bodies of his victims.
The horrified look in the prostitute’s eyes when Kolchak finds her was so terrifying it sent chills down my spine.

I didn't see the original film until 1990 (unaware that I had seen clips of it in Trilogy of Terror's drive-in scene).
I saw pictures from it as early as 1976 but it was a mystery to me. The Night Strangler showed on tv a lot but I don't remember the original film appearing. I had to get it on home video.
