and its about This is really three shorter movies, bound together by a fourth tale in which the other three stories are read. The first segment features an animated mummy stalking selected student victims; the second tale tells the story of a "cat from hell" who cannot be killed and leaves a trail of victims behind it; the third story is about a man who witnesses a bizarre killing and promises never to tell what he saw and the "in-between" bit is the story of a woman preparing to cook her newspaper boy for supper. -

MCT:June 17, 2008Widely considered as the REAL Creepshow 3, Tales from the Darkside is basically a film version of the series which was supposed to be a spin-off of Creepshow from TV. In this movie version of the series Tales from the Darkside consists of Three tales of terror to creep you out. Just like Creepshow this starts with a wraparound story before going into the first story Lot 249 which stars Steve Busemi and Christian Slater as archaeology students with a deadly secret, The cat from Hell was intended for Creepshow 2 but it was transplanted to TFTD instead. Cat from hell stars David Johansen (the cab spook from Scrooged) stars as a hitman who may have met his match with a demon cat. Lastly my fave before the wraparound story was Lovers Vow, which stars James Remar as a artist who can't keep secrets and the moral of this story is be careful who you tell your secrets to or they may be your last. John Harrison does a great job bringing the stories to life with the right amount of terror to scare you and chill you to the bone. Unlike Creepshow 2 this is much more entertaining The three stories are more in the vein of Creepshow stories than Creepshow 2 was and I prefer this one to Creepshow 2. thats all i can say any more and it would give away the movie.

Fun. It's neat to see Debbie Harry, Matthew Lawrence, Steve Buscemi, & especially Julianne Moore early in their careers...

MCT:April 18, 2008This was a childhood fav. Its right up there with Monster Squad, man. I LOVED this movie. The most memorable one was the killer cat. For some reason I remember that the most vividly, asides from the wee boy being locked in the cage, telling stories to the woman and trying to convince her not to cook him, was the one with the cat. I remember the old guy hiring this assassin and telling him that this cat has wiped out his entire family, and -pardon the pun -the assassin is left playing cat & mouse. I wont spoil the rest -just watch the frikkin movie! lol -Not a bad recollection, for something I watched about 10 years ago, and only saw once, possibly twice, at a push lol.

Awesome movie, has somewhat the same style as the 1982 classic "Creepshow". Great tales and great gore in it. The cast is outstanding.

Fun to watch after so many years. I had forgotten Steve Buscemi and Julianne Moore were in this. Great KNB effects and stylish photography.
-
MCT:June 24, 2007The best of the three tales is Conan Doyle's "Lot 249" but all three are entertaining enough though not overly scary.

The freakiest wraparound movie of all time! Has to be. "The Cat From Hell" has to be the funniest, yet most vomit inducing story of the film. The thought of a nice little kitty being the villain, attacking poor old William Hickey" is quite hilarious. Add in some Dexter Poindexter and wow...what were they thinking, you ask? Believe me, it's great. You laugh, then realize that this cat is bad ass and decides to do something you'd never thought you'd see. I almost throw up every time I see it...just...unreal.
Much kudos also to the gargoyle story at the end. Probably the best story of the bunch...scary, wonderful fx, and a heartbreaking twist. It's in another league from most stories in films like this. The story featuring a mummy come to life is also very entertaining for mummy movie fans like me.
The wraparound story at the beginning and end are also my favorite. Blondie makes an appearance in a Hansel & Gretel-esque tale that is the perfect dark humor that a movie like this thrives upon. -

Based off the TV series with the same name, this full length movie features three short horror stories. Three stories in one full movie, sounds like a good deal and it is. The first one is "Lot 249" and is about a man taking out his revenge on people by sending a mummy out to kill them, second one "Cat From Hell" is about a cat (from hell) sent to kill off a rich old man for his crimes and the last one "Lover's Vow" tells you to always keep your promises. In all this is a good horror movie worth a watch or two.

Wonderfully casted and wonderfully collected set of horror tales, one from master Stephen King. Four tales all in all, three main and one wrap around starring the still beautiful Deborah Harry (Blondie fame). What is nice about this movie, it's a reminder of the show Tales from the Darkside that I was a devoted watcher of.

Nicely gruesome set of horror stories. But the segment of "Cat from Hell" frightened me very seriously.
-
MCT:October 2, 2006
lots of people to recognise in this, slater playing the "jock", Buscemi playing the "nerd". other than the star spotting, this is wank.
