BUY Season 1-4 in One Set
Xч told me that the movie I love "Tales from the Darkside" had a TV show. He said it was great so I bought it. I watched all of Season 1 in 2 days.
I rate the movie an 8 and the TV show a 7. The one thing the show lacks is great endings. Tales from the Crypt ALWAYS (if it were anything but Season 6 or 7) had a solid payoff ending. TftD doesn't always have that. It's weird because the whole episode will be great then you are ready for this huge ending and sometimes you don't even get it... I don't mean there is none. I just mean you don't exactly know what happened. It's not always clear.
I would say 65% of the episodes are Excellent.
Would I recommend you get this DVD? If watching stuff on YouTube... then yes. They are definitely something you must watch before you die. Some are that damn good. They all have that GREAT 80's feel to them. The cameras they use are old and the style just reeks of 80's classic horror.

You should re watch it as an adult. You will find the zero pay off endings easier lol
That one was were there was something living in the closet of the girl who was renting a room from the old man. It's called inside the closet.

Aww man.... really? The music was taken off? Jesus man... I hate that stuff. That's why I stopped buying the 90210 DVDs. They did the same thing.
The quality is what it would look like from what they used to make it.
No I never heard of that.

I grew up watching Tales From The Darkside.WHen i was 8 i would get up really early around 4 in the morning and watch Threes Company and Tales From The Darkside.The entire Darkside series holds sentimental value for me,especially the dead zombie grandpa episode.
The one thing that really stands out in Darkside is that ominous intro and music theme.The forest and desolate surroundings really has a strange creepy feel when you watch it.Every time i see that intro i'm glued to the tv set.
Lets not forget that the series consists of 4 seasons. Some seasons will be better than others.I remember seeing an episode about some evil midget during xmas,i think thats season 3. If you love Anthology movies and or tv series ants then i think you're really enjoy going to the darkside.

Not too many people on CLAD seem to be into any type of horror TV. Which is odd seeing as they are all pretty good stuff. No one really talks about Twilight Zone, Tales ft Crypt or until now... this. I know there's a few more shows that even I don't know about.
It is very sad that they took out the original music. You cant remake music to have a 1984 feel to it anymore. Those ears just dont exists in the commercial music world.

I love the Twilight Zone and your right the sci fi channel always has marathons for it. That's disappointing about the Tales From the Darkside DVD.
As for other horror shows there's also Twin Peaks, Freddy's Nightmares and Point Pleasent. To be honest the only horror show I never really watched was Friday the 13th I just could never get into it after realizing there was no Jason in it.

Sometimes I watch "Tales from the Darkside" on SciFi Channel or Chiller. Other horror television series' I like are "Friday the 13th: The Series" [glow=red,2,300]FireStar, they do not need Jason. The show is totally different and stands up well on its own[/glow] ALSO: "Poltergeist: The Legacy" "Wolf Lake" "Freddy's Nightmares"

Nope, i missed it Friday.But i did pick up the Twilight Zone boxset from frys.I'm thinking about starting a marathon this weekend with a friend of mine.I love the Twilight Zone and your right the sci fi channel always has marathons for it. That's disappointing about the Tales From the Darkside DVD. As for other horror shows there's also Twin Peaks, Freddy's Nightmares and Point Pleasent. To be honest the only horror show I never really watched was Friday the 13th I just could never get into it after realizing there was no Jason in it. I have season 1 and season 2 of the Friday the 13th series.I really like some of the episodes especially the very first episode in season one with that creepy doll that talks.

Cool man!
I admit though, Im slightly disappointed in a lot of the episodes from Season 2. Dont get me wrong, all the shows are good stuff. Its just that they dont have huge endings a lot of them. Or a few even have a "what was the point feel" I dunno. Just think I wouldnt watch a lot of them more than once I guess. It's still fun to watch all of them. Maybe they"ll grow on me

Do you think Tales from the darkside will ever be re released on Bluray? If so,would you double dip and repurchase TFTDS on BD?
For me,HELL yeah in a heartbeat. But unfortunately i highly doubt it will ever see HD. Hopefully i'm wrong. Only time will tell.

Hopefully they could do something with it though,maybe clean up some of the specs and grains, sharpen, then brighten up the colors a little with a 1080p wash.
One can only hope and dream right?
