Years ago, I used to have to sneak around to friends' houses to watch this show, and got a rush out of watching it. The 1980s saw a revival of thriller anthology shows and Tales Of The Darkside was very much an 80s twist on a tried-and-true formula. That said...after revisiting the series, I have to say a good majority of these episodes do not hold up. A big part of the charm here is the memorable opening and narration by Paul Sparer, but it's a real hit-and-miss proposition otherwise.
