Tales from the Darkside - TV Commercials from 1985 Broadcast!

This was made using a file uploaded by "joemtron" on archive dot org. Full credit to him; I wouldn't have been able to make this without his file!
Shown here are a few commercials that aired during a July 1985 broadcast of Tales from the Darkside. ("Anniversary Dinner" was the name of the specific episode.) That broadcast is the subject of the April 2024 Purple Stuff Podcast bonus show, over on Patreon: www.patreon.co...

That Butterfinger + Baby Ruth commercial is exactly what I imagined adulthood would be like.

Channel 11 KPLR was where it was at in the St. Louis area back then.

This was my go to station for a lot of really edited horror movies when I was a kid. They also showed Denver the Last Dinosaur.

Tales from the dark side used to come on kxtv channel 10 Sacramento CA, late night 10 or 11:pm on Sundays before or after monsters analogy tv series......my parents and siblings would go to church on the other side of town so they would leve around 4:pm and arrive back home around 10:pm sometimes 11: pm ... church would start late to avoid the hot weather...so I had the house to myself .. yeah no partying on Sundays all my friends were never around on Sundays..so I watched my favorite tv shows all the way through until my family came back home .that happened for at least one year every Sunday....I was around 14 or 15 years old it was light 80s probably 1988 or 1989 I'm 50 years old now and a grandpa of 3 grandchildren.
