November 18, 2011Tales from the Darkside: The Movie (also known as the unofficial Creepshow 3 by its creators) is a worthy anthology film with both class and style. The stories aren't perfect (especially the last one) and they don't really cut together all that well, but the tone and style are pi... read more

August 7, 2011The alternative to the Twilight Zone movie but not quite in the same league in my opinion, the film consists of three stories within a wrap around story told by a boy who is going to eaten by a witch of all things haha.
First tale see's a man use a 3000 year old mummy to kill af... read more -
August 5, 2011Tales from the Dark side: The Movie is according to Tom Savini, the real sequel to Creepshow. I read that somewhere can't be sure. The result of Tales from the Dark side is a film filled with mediocre stories, that don't deliver anything really interesting. Some cast members were... read more

April 14, 2011In the tradition of movies like Twilight Zone the movie and Creepshow, comes another anthology horror movie based on the TV show Tales from the Dark Side. This movie has a bunch of good actors, just like the show did, and the stories are as good as well. The story that links th... read more

June 24, 2007The best of the three tales is Conan Doyle's "Lot 249" but all three are entertaining enough though not overly scary.

June 9, 2007Three enjoyable tales. Sometimes thought of as "The un-official Creepshow 3", it had three quality stories, or four if you count the framing story with Deborah Harry and the little boy. The Mummy story was fun, original and suspenseful. The cat one I really liked. The Gargoyle on... read more

October 11, 2006Nicely gruesome set of horror stories. But the segment of "Cat from Hell" frightened me very seriously.

March 4, 2012Saw this years ago when I was a kid. I loved it then, I might revisit it someday but I'm afraid 20+ years of effects advancement will make me more critical of it. The story is essential a continuation of the Darkside television show and Creepshow films. It is an anthology seri... read more

A Creepshow ripoff that wallows in the fact.

Not nearly as cool as Creepshow, but a lot better than...Campfire Tales? Deadtime stories? Tales from the Hood? Creepshow 2? See, there just aren't enough cool horror anthologies out there. Full Review
