Tales from the Darkside (1983–1988)
8/10
Show for all ages.
12 July 2008
Some episodes are dull, some you will keep forever in memory and some will make you check under the bed (or in the closet, ha!) I used to watch this when I was younger and even the beginning intro scared me. Re-watching it again, it is still good but no where near "horror". Tales From the Darkside is more of a Twilight Zone type of show instead of something along the lines of Tales From the Crypt. I will not show nudity, sex or extreme gore but it still gets the point across and the story is told. I give it an 8 out of 10 only because some episodes I will forever be wondering what happened? What was THAT about? Some I absolutely loved. If you want to try it out, I have recommendations for a few episodes. If you are a horror lover, a scary story fan... watch season 1, "Inside the Closet". It's about an old teacher who lets a student sublet a room inside his creepy house. However, there's a catch. A small closet is in her room with the door bolted. She hears noises at night and almost obsesses over it. The conclusion to what's in the closet will make you re-check what's in there. If you are a mystery lover, like The Twilight Zone, watch "The Madness Room". A ghost story with a twist I never saw coming.
