It starred Miguel Ferrer in the lead.Richard Dees is the lead reporter for a low-fodder conspiracy and urban legend-newspaper called the Inside View. After years of investigating bloody crime scenes, Dees has become particularly burned out with his job. When reports of a mysterious killer start circulating, who travels between small airfields, slaughtering everyone present, Dees goes out in pursuit of the "Night Flier"—finding far more than he bargained for.Not to be confused with Nightflyers, a 2018 Syfy miniseries based on a novella from George R. R. Martin. Or with Fly by Night Series, a children book series by Frances Hardinge.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptational Alternate Ending | |
| The Night Flier / int_4a5fcde | comment |
Adaptational Alternate Ending: The movie version expands a lot on the short story in the Nightmares & Dreamscapes collection, including an altered ending. In the story Dees just gives the vampire, Dwight Renfield, the film strip in his camera and escapes the encounter with his life. In the film he subsequently races after Dwight because he wants to see his face, who responds by putting him in a trance that ends with Dees unwittingly hacking up the corpses that Dwight is actually responsible for. He's shot by the police and framed as the "real" Night Flier by his rival colleague—ironically putting his face back on the front cover of the tabloid magazine he worked for. | |

Adaptational Badass: Downplayed. In the short story, Dees is left broken by his encounter with Dwight, but in the movie, he musters up enough courage to confront the vampire and demand to see its face, and fights off the reanimated corpses when he's sent to Hell. Of course, the whole thing turns out to be a hallucination, and he was framed for the Night Flier murders anyway. | |
