Tales from the Darkside is an anthology TV series which was aired from October 1, 1983 to July 1, 1988. Its is similar to the Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, The Outer Limits and Tales from the Crypt.
Each episodes was an individual short story that ended with a plot twist. It centered mostly around horror stories.The usual plot formula is comprised of an initial normal, mundane situation that gradually begins to get off-kilter, with suspense building up to the final, chilling, surprise conclusion.
The show usually start with this introduction:
"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."
This 30 minute horror/anthology series follows in the vein of the Twilight Zone. Each week presents another story of horror fantasy and science fiction. Like many related shows, this series adapted the work of famous genre authors of the period such as Stephen King, Clive Barker and others. The Pilot episode which was aired just before the Halloween in 1983, was made as a one time shot, and due to the success, a weekly series was produced which aired for fro 4 seasons in first run syndication. Tales from the Darkside was still a very strong and prominent series when it was taken off the air.
Program usually close with this phrase:
"The Darkside is always there waiting for us to enter; waiting to enter us. Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight."TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE

Haven't seen it yet but sounds good, I'd like to see it..
The show was dark, frightening, and had a sense of bizarre justice. Truly one of the best series ever to air.

This tv shows is just like "Tales from the Crypt" and "Are You Afraid In The Dark"...But I think this is much creepy than those two program because this show is much serious in terms of scaring viewers...
