Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

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.

poe426 It was late 1978, and HALLOWEEN and DAWN OF THE DEAD had just exploded across movie screens all over the world. Things were never going to be the same again. Both movies were inspirational to those of us who had no money but ideas aplenty. Unfortunately, the camcorder was still several years away from easy access. Some of us took up our pens and began to write. I wrote a number of letters to the horror magazines of the day: FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, FANTASTIC FILMS, FANGORIA, STARLOG, et al, and was gratified to see many of them in print. I even placed two short stories (one in FANGORIA and one in STARLOG), both in 1980. Prior to "the double event," as I came to think of it, I contacted FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND editor Forrest J. Ackerman, who put me in touch with QUASAR editor Bob Michelucci, who literally handed my script for a zombie film (titled DAY OF THE DEAD) to DAWN OF THE DEAD writer-director George A. Romero. Romero would eventually turn down my script "due to legal considerations," but he was kind enough to return it, along with a note of apology.Years later, the pilot for TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE aired. That very night, I typed up three scripts and mailed them to Romero and Company the very next day. Along with the scripts, I sent two or three short story anthologies I'd self-published over the years (GENRE #1 and #2 and NIGHTFALL #1). (My "ace in the hole," as I saw it, was an episode titled VAMPYRE, about an undercover cop who went all the way and was a possible pilot episode for a spin-off series. It was deemed "too expensive.") Again, Romero let me down gently, though I followed up with three more scripts that story editor Tom Allen kindly rejected. For me, to have written for a series overseen by George Romero would've been the highlight of a life otherwise lacking in highlights- but I did end up with a letter from The Man that maintains a place of honor in a display case to this day; a letter in which he says (regarding my stories and artwork that I submitted): "You have a wide-ranging imagination and a wider-ranging talent." For some reason, I feel really good today.

krice247 Could somebody please help me out? I'm looking for a movie and I thought it was from Tales From The Dark Side The movie but when I looked it wasn't it. Well, the movie I think is a trilogy, (but I can only remember two)the first one is about a man (I think he was a doctor)and his mistress and they kill her husband and put him in the deep freezer down in the basement. The man tells the lady to stay there in the house for the night and he'll be back and she hears moans and groans coming from the basement! that's all I can remember about that one and all I can remember about the other one was it had something to do with an old women and an old man and black cats. If anybody can think of the name of this movie please let me know.Thanks!

Tommy Nelson This show was really great, most of the time. Like the original Twilight Zone, it was sometimes horror episodes, sometimes fantasy and sometimes comedy/fantasy. 92 episodes aired, around 70 of them being really great, and the others being stinkers. Since it was on regular TV, it couldn't contain very much language, and the violence was plentiful, but usually mild. The narrator Paul Sparer had a really creepy voice and started and ended the show. The shows were often about ghosts, demons, Satan, monsters and even a boy putting his voice onto a computer. Each episode had a surprise ending, which made it even better. It was often very morbid and could be depressing, but usually wasn't. It was great.My rating: A. 1984-1988. 30 mins. 6 volumes with 5 episodes on each are available on VHS, and one volume has two.(32 episodes available)
