75 Wickedly atmospheric and consistent trio of stories in this spooky anthology film. Had a blast with the wraparound segment as well. Can't go wrong with this as a slice of campfire fun.

I used to watch “Tales From The Darkside” on TV every week as a kid. Loved the show (as well as “Monsters” which came from the same production company and began airing after “Tales” was cancelled). They are still so much fun to revisit, like the “B Movie” version of horror…

As far as horror anthologies go Tales From the Darkside The Movie is pure 90s comfort food. A glorious display of campy theatrics and schlocky goodness. Despite it's larger budget and star studded cast it still manages to capture a lot of the imaginative ideas and low…

Ian WestOct 9, 2024Eat me up, ‘Deborah’ Harry! I wish there were more 90s anthology movies to revisit this time of year but I'm thankful for what we got (shout out to my girls, Tales From the Hood & Body Bags). Despite committing the horror anthology movie sin of only featuring 3 stories (4…

- Arsal is "meh" onTales from the Darkside: The Movie
As horror anthologies go, Tales from the Darkside Movie is a solid collection of creepy stories. The stories range from creepy to tragic to darkly funny, making each segment feel distinct. What I enjoy most is the atmosphere.
Orlando Ramone likedTales from the Darkside: The MovieAnother great horror anthology by the great George A. Romero and his team. This one stars a couple up and coming superstars. My favorite story is at the end regarding a gargoyle.

Nothing about Tales From the Darkside is likely to give anyone much of a scare. But thanks to casting that is savvier than the horror norm, and to direction by John Harrison that is workmanlike and sometimes even witty, at least it's fun.
