ShangLuda
Admirable film.
Casey Duggan
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Benas Mcloughlin
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This a very scary show. It has great stories. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. I would not say that it is a 7.7 that is king of overrating it. It is a great show. I give 6 out 10 it is very good. But I would say 7.7 is just hyping it. If you want get sacred this show will not let you down. It is scarier then silence off the lambs very could be. The original A Nightmare on elm street from 1984 is better. The original Friday the 13th from 1980 is better. Halloween is also better. But still this a great show. Very scary. The Exorcist is also better. But still a great show see it. It is a lot better then the 2001 movie of Hannibal.

Tales From the Darkside is one of the best horror anthology series ever made. The series first aired in 1983 and it ran until 1988.This is a must watch for horror fans with some episodes being written by the likes of George A. Romero and Stephen King. Some of the best and creepiest episodes include Inside the Closet, Trick or Treat,The Cutty Black Sow, Halloween Candy and The Last Car.The series title sequence is one of the most sinister and eerie sequences of all time and really adds to the creepy atmosphere. Some of my favourite episodes are Levitation, Halloween Candy, The Last Car, The Tear Collector, Grandmas Last Wish, The Spirit Photographer, the Cutty Black Sow, The Madness Room and In the Cards.Highly recommended for horror fans.

It was late 1978, and HALLOWEEN and DAWN OF THE DEAD had just exploded across movie screens all over the world. Things were never going to be the same again. Both movies were inspirational to those of us who had no money but ideas aplenty. Unfortunately, the camcorder was still several years away from easy access. Some of us took up our pens and began to write. I wrote a number of letters to the horror magazines of the day: FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, FANTASTIC FILMS, FANGORIA, STARLOG, et al, and was gratified to see many of them in print. I even placed two short stories (one in FANGORIA and one in STARLOG), both in 1980. Prior to "the double event," as I came to think of it, I contacted FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND editor Forrest J. Ackerman, who put me in touch with QUASAR editor Bob Michelucci, who literally handed my script for a zombie film (titled DAY OF THE DEAD) to DAWN OF THE DEAD writer-director George A. Romero. Romero would eventually turn down my script "due to legal considerations," but he was kind enough to return it, along with a note of apology.Years later, the pilot for TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE aired. That very night, I typed up three scripts and mailed them to Romero and Company the very next day. Along with the scripts, I sent two or three short story anthologies I'd self-published over the years (GENRE #1 and #2 and NIGHTFALL #1). (My "ace in the hole," as I saw it, was an episode titled VAMPYRE, about an undercover cop who went all the way and was a possible pilot episode for a spin-off series. It was deemed "too expensive.") Again, Romero let me down gently, though I followed up with three more scripts that story editor Tom Allen kindly rejected. For me, to have written for a series overseen by George Romero would've been the highlight of a life otherwise lacking in highlights- but I did end up with a letter from The Man that maintains a place of honor in a display case to this day; a letter in which he says (regarding my stories and artwork that I submitted): "You have a wide-ranging imagination and a wider-ranging talent." For some reason, I feel really good today.

This show was really great, most of the time. Like the original Twilight Zone, it was sometimes horror episodes, sometimes fantasy and sometimes comedy/fantasy. 92 episodes aired, around 70 of them being really great, and the others being stinkers. Since it was on regular TV, it couldn't contain very much language, and the violence was plentiful, but usually mild. The narrator Paul Sparer had a really creepy voice and started and ended the show. The shows were often about ghosts, demons, Satan, monsters and even a boy putting his voice onto a computer. Each episode had a surprise ending, which made it even better. It was often very morbid and could be depressing, but usually wasn't. It was great.My rating: A. 1984-1988. 30 mins. 6 volumes with 5 episodes on each are available on VHS, and one volume has two.(32 episodes available)
