Tales from the Darkside

Season 2

“The Darkside is always there, waiting for us to enter, waiting to enter us” in a second season of frights, thrills, and laughs. Featuring Penelope Ann Miller, Lisa Bonet, Jerry Stiller, Darren McGavin, Seth Green, Fritz Weaver, and Connie Stevens, the list of guest stars is quite impressive. And the show gets into the holiday spirit with special episodes for Halloween (“Halloween Candy”), Thanksgiving (“The Last Car”), and Christmas (“Monster in My Room”). However, the episodes are a little more miss than hit, and the tone is all over the place; from cheesy comedy, to supernatural horror, to family drama. Also, the cheapness of the production shows through in the sets and costumes. Yet while it’s not as good as the first season, Season 2 of Tales from the Darkside still manages to deliver some disturbing chills and some fun comedic bits.
