robertbisceglia I have loved this show ever since I was very young. Some episodes are slow but I can't say they become boring because they move quite fast. It's just an awesome horror and creature T.V series with creative stories, some are disturbing. It also has a twilight zone kinda feel.

jacobjohntaylor1 This a very scary show. It has great stories. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. I would not say that it is a 7.7 that is king of overrating it. It is a great show. I give 6 out 10 it is very good. But I would say 7.7 is just hyping it. If you want get sacred this show will not let you down. It is scarier then silence off the lambs very could be. The original A Nightmare on elm street from 1984 is better. The original Friday the 13th from 1980 is better. Halloween is also better. But still this a great show. Very scary. The Exorcist is also better. But still a great show see it. It is a lot better then the 2001 movie of Hannibal.

Aaron1375 This was one of my favorite horror shows as it was very watchable and enjoyable. There were many shows of this type during the time it ran and one can say it was probably the inspiration for a couple of the other ones that came on during this time such as "Monsters" and ever the one that Freddy Krueger had as the stories from those two shows I sometimes think came from this one. However, this one was around first and it is the best of the bunch. Granted, the episodes on Tales from the Crypt got a little darker and you could sometimes get lucky and see some nudity this one had by far the better stories. It also had one of the coolest openings of the bunch as well, for it may have been simple it was also effective in telling the viewer that they were on a trip to the darkside. Many good episodes are to be found, one of my favorite involved a woman renting a room in a place or something and there is a hole in the wall and something seems to be living there. I also remember one about some old lady who treated her father horribly and was good at making cookies, but she gets what is coming to her in the end. All in all one of the best horror shows out there.

saintize I liked the movie just fine.Any movie or series in the vein of Twilight Zone and Amazing Stories always gets my interest. As far as Tales From the Darkside,the series...The stories (Most of them) were pretty well written, while some were pretty cheesy, like the "Highway to Heaven" Halloween episode where the guy with the beard sells his soul to the devil. The twist in the Gargoyle story was pretty good and disturbing. I really wrote in to say the guy a space or 2 above me said, "I don't know if the show is still on" well, it's not. It's been quite a few years since it's been off the air. But I recommend the movie and the series if you can find it. Sci Fi channel ran a TFTDS marathon recently.
