“There is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit...a dark side.” From George A. Romero comes the horror anthology series Tales from the Darkside. Season 1 features adapted stories from Stephen King, Robert Bloch, and Harlan Ellison, along with a number of original stories that explore the supernatural and the macabre; devil’s deals, witchcraft, ghosts and ghouls, and the like. Additionally, the guest cast is packed with up-and-coming stars such as Tom Noonan, Justine Bateman, Christian Slater, Harry Anderson, Carol Kane, and Jessica Harper. And, while it was a fairly low-budget production, it doesn’t really show and the make-up and effects have held up pretty well. Still, as with most anthology series, the episodes are rather hit-and-miss, and the tone is kind of uneven (particularly with the comedy episodes). Yet despite its flaws, Season 1 of Tales from the Darkside delivers some frights and creeps that are sure to chill.
