"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... Dark Side."

Tales From The Darkside has always been my favorite horror anthology series, as it focused more on scary stories than the pensive scifi that Twilight Zone too often wandered into.

However, I noticed there are precious few sites that have any detail analysis of the episodes, so I thought I'd step up to the plate. Mind you there are three seasons and dozens of episodes, so it may take me a while to catalogue them all! Enjoy...

For the reviews, we are going to go with an eight-point system. The episodes are rated based on originality, horror and entertainment value. Of course your mileage may vary -- I go more for the scary eps and not the "cutesy" ones. Hover over each rating to the right to see the estimation.

I've also included the "Twist" area, which sums up the nasty little shock of the episode in a sentence. However, it is in black so you'll have to highlight it to read it -- this is for the protection of the "no-spoilers" crowd.
