Bonus: Knight Rider “Halloween Knight” (w/ Joe Martinez)

What’s up, dudes? One more for the road… and one more for the gorilla in the courtyard. We’re talking Knight Rider “Halloween Knight”! Joe Martinez from Now Watch This is here with me to save into the Hitchcock and the Hoff!

It’s October 28, 1984, on NBC. Season 3, and the guides argue about whether it’s episode 4 or 5, so don’t die on that hill. Bonnie Barstow is sick, the neighbors are loud, and through the courtyard window she watches a gorilla costume strangle somebody. Michael and Devon hear “fever” and reach for the hallucination explanation. Then the woman and the furniture are gone. The janitor’s name is Norman Baines, he keeps taxidermy, and Kurt Paul — Anthony Perkins’s “Psycho” stunt double — is playing him, which is the reddest herring in a building that also borrows the Bates house, a backwards-talking hologram, and a drive-in screening of Creature from the Black Lagoon. Bill Nuss wrote it, Winrich Kolbe directed it, David Hasselhoff is Michael, Patricia McPherson is Bonnie, Edward Mulhare is Devon, and William Daniels is still the only car you’d trust with a turbo boost through a movie screen. The gorilla is not the guy named Norman. Halloween, Foundation-approved.

Courtyard gorilla? Check. Psycho-house scavenger hunt? Yep. Turbo boost through a Black Lagoon screen? That’s the money shot! So grab a costume, believe Bonnie, and ride into this episode on Knight Rider “Halloween Knight”!
