Tales from The Darkside

My brother used to like to stick me downstaris and turn all of the lights off and make me listen to that opening. To this day that music still creeps me out.

never missed 1 show

I have to agree with most people's comments here. The opening song still gives me a shiver when I here it and I just can't bring myself to watch it if I'm by myself at night. Just scary.

loved this show along with the other anthology shows of the 80s and 90s like monsters, freddy's nightmares, friday the 13th the series, ray bradbury, alfred hitchcock presents, tales from the crypt, the hitchhiker, etc. tales from the darkside and monsters came on back to back in syndication in my area at 10 o'clock on sunday nights (on chicago's wgn channel 9 i think) when i was a teen. they rocked !!

'Man lives in the sunlit world of what he percieves to be reality...'. Yeah that opening was crazy. There was this episode about a monster living under a kids bed. He was scared but realized that the monster wouldn't hurt him because he gave the monster a place to lay his ghouly head. So the kid befriends the beast, but over time he starts getting brave. At the end the kid is getting choked to death by the monster. The kid tells him he won't have a place to sleep anymore if he continues to strangle him. The monster replies 'I live under someone elses bed now.' That creep the hell out of me.
