I disagree with you about the intro. It can still give me the chills to this day.
the intro was the best part, I remember it putting me in the mood to get scared af.
I was a long-time horror fan when I first encountered the series, but I still wasn't immune to the intro. It gave me the chills and was disturbing.
I miss short story anthology shows. There's just something about them. The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Hammer House of Horror, The Outer Limits, Tales From the Crypt, Tales From the Darkside, Alfred Hitchcock, all the best shows came on when you knew you were supposed to be in bed. Even the more PG versions of Are You Afraid of the Dark, Amazing Stories, and The Ray Bradbury Theater. Good times.
@cassilyris I know what you mean! I love them too. They kinda got me into reading short stories....or vice versa....I don't remember.
Hammer was the best of the bunch.
Did you ever watch the series ‘Monsters’ ? It kinda followed the same vein and had a pretty engaging intro (a la girl who cried monster imo)
I've never heard of The Ray Bradbury Theater, I'll have to check it out.
@@BlazePiffington I remember the show Monsters!! It came on right after Freddy's Nightmares. Saturday nights-- Tales from the Darkside, Freddy's Nightmares, and Monsters. Loved those shows growing up.❤️
The Last Car was one of the scariest things to burn itself into my young subconcious.
The intro to this show is so epic.
That intro was right up there with Unsolved Mysteries back in the day. The episode I remember is a girl getting hired in Salem for a historical park and she was told to stay in character as a puritan. She broke too many rules like lighting a cigarette with a lighter, her digitial watch went off, etc. . It turned out she had traveled back in time and was burned for witchcraft.
80s horror and sci fi anthologies are some of the best things ever filmed
Literally JUST got the complete series on DVD for my birthday. Can't wait to dive back into these creepy nostalgic stories!
Did the same thing last year! I've got FRIDAY THE 13TH, THE SERIES and DARKSIDE as complete DVD sets last year from AMAZON. My 2012 PANASONIC VIERA LED TV, my 2020 SONY DVD Player, and uncut shows on DVD! Take that, streaming services!
I got the set recently also...Horror anthologies are my absolute favorite tv/movie genre.
Yeah I think I would have to get the DVD version I wish you could stream it… Happy Birthday 🎂🎊🎁
The Pilot “Trick or Treat” from Tales from the Darkside was my favorite!
"Monsters in my Room" with Seth Green. That was a fun one.
I disagree with you about the intro. It can still give me the chills to this day. I hope she reviews the horror anthology series "Monsters." I love those storys and the Make Up effects by Dick Smith.
I would disappear at 7:30pm on Saturday nights to the upstairs TV to watch this show. Absolutely loved it. That intro was so frightening that I couldn't stop watching. I can't remember the name of my favorite episode, but it was about a naughty boy...I think.
Man that music shook every kid up.
Ikr! Lol I used to have to race to turn the TV down when it comes in and goes off even at 13
The Tales From the Darkside intro is great. Favorites are Inside the Closet, Case of the Stubborns, Lifebomb, Halloween Candy, Devil's Advocate, Monsters in my Room, Last Car, Circus, Sorry Right Number, Love Hungry, Cutty Black Sow, Hush, mostly the horror themed ones were the best IMO to match the creepy intro/exit theme. "Man lives, in the sunlit world, of what he believes to be reality. But, there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit. A Darkside..." "Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight."
I like the ending narrative and the way that it sounds as it goes off, "Try to enjoy the day light"...💀👀
the episode in the closet was stuck in my head for years. I was so afraid as a kid, but couldnt stop watching
I always liked the episode "Seasons of Belief"
The parents try to scare the kids with a tale of The Grither
on Christmas Eve
It does not end well for the parents.
I still remember the song of The Grither, set to "O Come, All Ye Faithful"
"Oh I am The Grither you can not escape me"
That’s the story!!! I just talked about it. That’s the story stood out the most for me.
I remember watching this episode in a hotel while my brother and parents slept. Always stuck with me and now I have a copy I try to watch every Christmas.
This show was fantastic. It came on at 11:30 pm for me. I used to watch with my sleeping bad and a bowl of popcorn. Good times!
Man, Tales from the Darkside, Tales from the Crypt, Twin Peaks, The Outer Limits, Monsters, the Twilight Zone, and on the kids' side, Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark were the absolute best anthology series of all time
I loved this show too and watched it every week. By the way, the author is Michael McDowell, but the picture you keep showing is actor Malcolm McDowell!
Umm no. Malcolm was Frankie Muniz.
Yeah, that was unfortunate, esp considering how much collaboration he actually had with King himself. Should be credited properly.
@@AMMAZZARE Life is unfair.
They also think it's the same guy
I have vivid memories of lying in bed in the dark and hearing the intro coming from the living room and begging for it to end. I was a ghoulish little kid and usually loved anything spooky, but this was an exception that actually still kinda gives me chills to this day. It's so simple but so effective.
Do you think you could listen to the narrative all by yourself in the house with all the lights out..?
@@user-ek9qb7nc8h I'm a big boy now, I can handle it...unless I'm high, then no freakin' way.
I always wondered if that music came from hell or wtf is that sick and crazy to make that music
I got the DVD set a couple years ago and will sit and watch them all every year. Love this show!!
A Case of the Stubborns is #1
Two episodes always stood out to me. One is the second doll house episode mentioned towards the end of the video. The other was one where a woman tries to lose weight by buying some glasses advertised on TV. The glasses make all her see all her food taking to her, so she refuses to eat. It ends with her sewing her mouth shut as we see in reality all her food has started to rot around her. Don't remember the name. Loved this show as a kid- great video.
The very 1st episode that I remember seeing was the one where the family tried to convince the grandfather that he was dead. They finally put pepper on his food and made him sneeze his nose off and that convinced him. I loved it!
Doesn't seem very convincing.
My favorite episode is " the casavin curse" the first time it aired was on a Sunday night back in '86
Oh and another one titled "trick or treat"
Damn that witch looked horrifying
Thank you for this!! I grew up with this show & now own the entire series on DVD. For me, one of the scariest episodes was the one where the lady is tormented by a phone ringing in an empty room, next to hers. The phone also occasionally bangs against the wall, which she thinks somebody hiding in the room is doing. At the end, she ends up being strangled by the phone. I watched that one again recently, & it was still pretty freaky for me, now at age 38. Ursa Minor is a pretty freaky episode, as well.
"Tales from the darkside" is one of the best TV horror series, with great stories, improvisations, great camera work, with right point of views and so on, that come from real life, from real issues, dark, unfair things and so on., sometimes a fair verdict at the end, sometimes a double meaning of ending, or twisted ending and so on.
Sincerely, Alex
Inside the Closet traumatize me as a kid. So much so I had a breakdown when we were on vacation and I saw a closet that was the same size in our hotel room. I got the box set and watched it again to face my fears.
Excellent recap! I will always remember the episode "The Last Car" so I'm glad you mentioned it too! Nothing beats 1980s horror anthologies! From the movie, I loved the wraparound story with the witch best!
Yes I do like a good anthology and I definitely remember Tales From The Darkside. As for my favorite segment on the Tales From The Darkside movie, the one story about the gargoyle was always interesting.
Have you watched VHS 1? There is a Horror Anthology Story that was inspired by TFTDarkside Movie’s Gargoyle Anthology Story
It’s a Succubus instead in VHS 1
Loved this show as a kid, I was 8 yrs old when it started, I never forgot that intro!
love that show and also the Friday the 13th series, I can't find them on sale digitally though
I do miss this show.
It's Malcom McDowell, not Michael.. 😂
Looks like I'm going to have to remind my fellow TFTD fans of a genuinely creepy episode directed by Tom Savini titled FAMILY REUNION. Season 4, Episode 16. A very underrated jumpscare occurs in the middle of this episode as the end to a nightmare. Given Mr. Savini's knack for special makeup effects, and a pretty decent storyline, you'll find this an entertaining episode! It's actually my favorite episode of the whole series. Give it a look...
The gargoyle scenario in the film scared me deeply. He betrayed her trust and they became monsters and I dunno, it terrified and intrigued me.
Anyone else think the production / voice over on this video is well below JoBlos usual standard?
She garbles her words a lot. She aint no Jesse Shade.
Inside the closet is my favorite episode. And the same episode that scared the crap out of me as a kid!!
Great review as always! Tales is probably my all time favorite horror TV show (definitely top 3). You left off the two best episodes, the Halloween episodes of course!- "Trick or Treat" and "Halloween Candy". The former is my favorite episode in the entire series and the latter features a reskinned version of "Fluffy" from Creepshow. I watch them both every Halloween.
I was born in 85 and I remember this was on in the house my family was renting in 88-89 . Scared me big time. Now I have all the season’s on DVD
MAN, that 'Last Train Car' episode scared the crap outta me! I STILL get creeped out by tunnels! (And did anyone else feel a sense that 'The Shining' might have been an inspiration?) =)
The cat crawled out of David Johansen’s mouth. William Hickey was the old man.
The intro of this and Unsolved Mysteries freaking TERRIFIED me growing up!!😆😆 Also, when the Crypt Keeper would pop out of his coffin, shrieking laughter - I would Bolt into the other room.
Inside the closet was the first tales from the dark side I ever saw. I was scared and hooked
Inside the Closet and The Last Car two of my fav episodes.
"Man lives, in the sunlit world of what he believes to be, reality"
I would recite the intro along with the show every weekend.
I rewatched the entire series a few years ago, it brought back wonderful childhood memories of staying up late on weekends, just chillin' in my own little world.
I also loved Monsters, Friday the 13th the series, 80s Twilight Zone, and Elm Street the series was okay, that came on in the afternoon.
Best show intro ever. I'll stop whatever I'm doing just to watch.
The intro to Tales from the dark side scared every '80s kid. 😅
Man, that music brings back major trauma! My dad and I watched the show regularly and I always turned the sound down
Oh man that intro creeped me out SO BAD as a kid! Thanks for the memories!
One of My favorite episodes was the one that took place on a winter night and these kids were told a story by their father of a Christmas monster that if you call it’s name in vain it’ll come and kill you. The kids kept on asking their father to finish the story, which he did. The problem with doing so was that it summoned that monster and the monster punched through the wall of their house to only pick up the father and mother by their heads with its massive hands, and snapped both of their necks and dropped them onto the floor. That story is one of the best Christmas Horror Stories that came out(until the first season of TFTC’s episode And All Through The House). If you can find that episode, watch it. It’s s slow burn but man that payoff ending was worth it. Honorable mentioned to the episode with Divine where he was looking for a reincarnation of a prophet and it was spoiled brat, The episode with Jerry Stiller( my top five favorite episode btw) "The Devil’s Advocate", and another favorite of mine (and this one was darkly comic) "Fear Of Floating”. I would go into detail about the story but you have to see it cause to speak on any of it would give it away. Let’s just say telling the truth and being a decent person will keep a person grounded😂🤦🏿♂️(I’ll see my way out).
This was fantastic! I’m glad I found it and happy I am not the only person who remembers these amazing shows! Lol
ITA about the intro-it is intensely creepy! I have a love/hate relationship with it to this day.
This show was awesome. I used to be terrified waiting for this intro to start after the commercials right around 10pm on Channel 9. In the closet, cutty black sow, and two I can’t remember the titles - 1. It was a condo builder garbage disposal, 2. A women turns in to a spider at the end
I remember always trying to catch this show growing up
Brilliant!! I found this video utterly captivating! Thank you!!
So glad to hear it. Thank you.
Had no idea Romero worked on this show. Some very memorable episodes I vividly remember
It probably wouldn't scare me today, but the Christmas episode about the monster called The Grither, or something like that, that lives at the north pole TERRIFIED me as a kid.
Another quality JoBlo upload 👌
Man, Glad to see you hightlighting this Series, It used to show in NYC at like 11:00 with Monsters afterwards. The intro used to scare the crap out of me. haha
Always liked the one about the guy who refused to believe he was dead, I think he sneezes his nose off at one point. Creepy and funny...
That intro is still eerie to this day
Everyone who was a small child back then got trauma from the show theme alone. Trust me.
It's crazy how the entire time you were talking about the dollhouse episode I kept thinking of the one from Creepshow! It was so good and not one special effect i can think of! Just you're imagination!
Epic show that needs to be remastered.
This time they should use Upright vacuums that turn evil
Loved this show, I used to watch it often back in the 80s.
Also, besides other episodes, " Trick or Treat", "Halloween Candy" are one of my favorites episodes from " Tales from the Darkside"....
"The Odds" is one of my favorite eps
The Grither and The Cutty Black Sow especially.
My favorite episode's are: The Bitterest Pill, Case of Stubborn's, The Cutie Black Sow, Sorry Right Number, The last train car, Love Hungry, The Milkman cometh and some other's that I can't think of the name of!
I was a little kid when this aired- that opening is burned into my mind forever!
I loved this show when I was a kid.
Fantastic show!
Was and still is the creepiest tv intro. It gave me nightmares as a kid.
Season of Belief was the best episode! The Grither!!
I remember watching it. Worth a watch.
I loved this show, I remember all these episodes
Just got this on Amazon for $28 . Just made it through the first and second season 48 episodes. Realized I olny watched like 20 episodes out of 90. Can't wait to watch the other 2 seasons.
While I did enjoy this series, I always felt that Monsters was a much better program. Why? I honestly can't even tell you now, let alone when I was eight. I think it was the time of night. I'd have to wait till 11-11:30 Sunday nights to watch TFTDS....and as an eight year old going to Catholic school first thing in the morning....well....it was asking a little too much. However..I'd read the synopsis of the episode, and if it sounded good I would slip in a VHS tape at 10pm to catch Monsters. I would then go to bed, and get up early to rewind the tape and watch the next episodes. Those were fun times, hahahaha.
Glad you enjoyed this show, too. Much love, and I hope all is well!
Post Scriptum....cannot recall a favorite TFTDS, but I did have quite a few favorites from the Monsters show.....
One being the episode which a man is trapped in a barber shop as they begin to explain to the fellow just exactly what barbers were and how they started. I thought it a great new take on the ....uhm, spoiler alert.......vampire mythose.
Keep up the awesome work.
TFTDS had some truly cool episodes. The Geezenstacks, The Last Car, Halloween Candy, there's just so many to choose from.
It just has a different feel than other anthology series, including the episode endings.
I'm glad I could find the series on DVD, now I don't need to go through streaming services to watch.
Really a outstanding syndicated tv series (It aired really late growing up 12am on Sunday morning great series that doesn’t get nearly enough attention! Hopefully sooner rather then later it’s given a proper HD clean up and released on blu-ray the dvd’s look rough imo. all the cool paramount back catalog series were given horrible home video releases during the early days of dvd
the episode where Ben Stiller,plays a DJ,,The Devil's Advocate,,
The cat actually goes into David Johansen's mouth. The William Hickey character succumbed to a heart attack.
I love the intro to this show,love the movie also
I loved this show and they’d air a block of it in the afternoon, so l used to convince myself to go to my gym and play this on the treadmill TV to get some exercise in lol
I only used to be able to watch this at my aunt and uncle's when we would visit, and it was on at 1230am, so I would often have to sneak downstairs to the basement (or ask to stay in the basement) to watch it. Fond memories of this creeping me out as a kid.
i love how the theme literally is explaining a man in a simulation r they speaking of neo
loved that show.
Coming of age in the '80s and the '90s, I would have to say that Tales from the Darkside is one of my favorites.
The False Prophet! Thank you!! I was literally thinking about this a couple nights ago. I never forgot this episode.
I remember this show as a teenager!
Halloween candy is hands down my favorite dark side episode surprised this video didn’t mention that one. They just don’t make em like they used to
Girl yes that intro and one of the commercials for it was chilling to me as a toddler. Still it is creepy. I would hear it as I was sleeping in my crib at night.
2:23 this whole episode made me scared of what underneath my bed for 10 years I literally would not sleep without a light on
Need to watch this show. I didnt know about it till now
The thumbnail is one of my favorite episodes. It's so creepy!
Lover's Vow from the movie is prob my all time favorite short story
This, Monsters, and Ray Bradbury Theater were awesome! Good times.
I have the first season DVD collection! I found it at Goodwill for $3.00!
I loved this intro, it is number and tales from the crypt is number 2
The collaboration with ROMERO and ARGENTO - TWO EVIL EYES was a really good movie, but yeah Rae Dawn Chong as the Gargoyle was a Intensely Memorable episode 😍
I really wish Tom Savini directed more, his "Inside the Closet" episode is my favorite. I also loved his "Night of the Living Dead" remake.
Inside the closet seriously fucked me up as a kid. XD That little shit scared me so bad.
