DARKSIDE proved to be a distinct step down from classic TV anthology
series like THE TWILIGHT ZONE and CHILLER. Episodes were shot on video
and a synthesizer was often the only musical accompaniment. Plots were
often all too predictable. Yet a handful of episodes stand out,and you
can read about them in detail here on IMDb. Familiar faces popped up in
most episodes, which was a definite plus. But if you watch a TWILIGHT
ZONE episode followed by a DARKSIDE episode, you are going to cringe at
the incredible cheapness of the latter. The show is constantly in
reruns on channels like The Sci-Fi Channel, for what it's worth. For
all its faults, I will recommend HBO's TALES FROM THE CRYPT over this.
Heck, I'll even recommend THE RAY BRADBURY THEATER or Roald Dahl's
short-lived series over DARKSIDE.
