The consistently unsettling horror anthology series, Tales From the Darkside was nothing like Creepshow or The Twilight Zone.

The Big Picture The Twilight Zone is often regarded as the greatest horror anthology series of all time, but the one that is most often overlooked would have to go to Tales From the Darkside. This cult classic program spun off of George A. Romero's collaboration with Stephen King, Creepshow, ran from September 1983 to July 1988.

How Did 'Creepshow' Inspire 'Tales From the Darkside'? Tales From the Darkside first premiered one year after the release of Creepshow. That 1982 cult classic was inspired by the infamous EC Comics of the 1950s. These pulpy, vibrantly colorful, grotesque horror comics like Tales From the Crypt told new stories with every issue, dropping readers into a distinct, freshly dug-up nightmare, one after the other.
