Nonureva Really Surprised!

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Smoreni Zmaj I finished first season and, although there's some real masterpieces, most of it is just mediocre and there's even some episodes that make 20 minutes seem like eternity. Still, I recommend this show because good ones are worthy of getting through bad ones to see them.6/10

Parker Lewis The introduction to Tales from the Darkside really resonates with fans to this day, as demonstrated by web comments. It was really chilling and scary, seriously!The scenes were montages of bucolic USA (or maybe Canada) and I would love to know where the scenes were shot. Nothing scary about the scenes per se, but still the underlying horror and foreboding, and the creepy music and chilling narration really scared me!The episodes were so-so, and in some cases were let downs. I sort of wondered what the driving theme was for Tales from the Darkside - was there a twist in the tale, horror a la Freddy Krueger? But still credit to the creators and writers and directors and cast and crew, for a show that still generates much comment, especially for the introduction.

MWNiese *****Five Out Of Ten Stars***** What made me scared as an 80's child, now just mostly makes me laugh. George Romero and Richard Rubenstein spearheaded TFTD, which is really one of the main reasons I still enjoy watching an occasional episode. I pretty much enjoy everything Romero has produced in his career, but am honest with myself about much of his work; in that some of Romero's work just isn't that good. Let's just be honest here folks, a lot of Romero's work is just plain hammy. Don't get me wrong, I still love most of it. It's hard to judge TFTD because every episode was different and unique. So I kind of averaged all the episodes out and gave it five out of ten stars or two stars out of four; which I feel is more than fair. I'm guessing some of the inflated ratings are based mostly on nostalgia. My estimate is that 25% of the episodes were above average, another 25% were average, another 25% were below average, and the remaining episodes were just plain terrible. I do plan on eventually purchasing the DVD box set, so don't get me wrong. On a closing note, the guest stars were almost always great to watch and opening and closing credits are a stroke of genius.

eqmidnite I recently watched this entire series with a friend of mine. Most of the episodes are so-so at best, with a few good (if not great) episodes. The following are the best of the lot: Trick or Treat, Halloween Candy, Seasons of Belief, Do Not Open This Box, The Greezenstacks, Inside the Closet, Monsters in my Room (look for a YOUNG Seth Green!), and The Last Car. I only recommend this for nostalgic purposes as I don't find it to be a great "Twilight Zone" style show. The acting is iffy, the effects shoddy, the camera work weak (even for the mid-80s), and the stories rehashed and often boring.Overall TV Rating: 6/10
