one underrated movie

I saw this movie first in 1982 and then again in 1983 which is a shame because it really is a pretty fair vampire flick.David Naughton plays a mortician who is convinced that a vampire is running loose in Los Angeles.The movie then runs like an episode of "Kolchak the Night Stalker" as his buddies mercilessly taunt him especially in one scene where a morgue drawer rolls out by itself.The audience meanwhile discovers who the vampire is as Naughton does,but by then it is too late.Not to give away the anti-climactic ending,but the vampire's identity does come as a surprise.Still though,it is a good movie.
