Tales from the Darkside


Anyone else love this horror anthology series? I'm a big fan of The Twilight Zone and One Step Beyond and have recently discovered this series while looking for similar series to those.

I really love this series.It has some really creepy episodes and the title sequence is pretty chilling too.




Go to bed Frank or this is going to get ugly .

I managed to watch a few episodes when it reran on Chiller Channel recently. It hasn't aged well. The only thing creepy about it is the theme music.

When theres no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.

Never been one of my favorites but the series has something. It managed to create a style out of having (apparently) no budget whatsoever.

I have always loved Tales from the Darkside! One of my fave is the one with a young Christian Slater. I think it was called Bad Case of the Stubborn. Or something like that. It was about a boy's grandfather that had died but he refuse to lay down and he didn't believe he was dead until he had some proof.

Its one of my favorites alongside the twilight zone. You should look into "monsters" thats sort of a continuation of TFTD.

The cheap FX, slow pace and awful picture quality make it something of a trial to watch.

Sounds AWESOME to me...

In the meantime, I'm going to go put on my PJ's and pretend Ironjade's post actually matters.

I hope you kept the receipt from the charm school.

True. But what a theme!
