“Tales from the Darkside,” a horror anthology television series crafted by George A. Romero, made its debut in 1984. Much like “Amazing Stories,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Night Gallery,” “The Outer Limits,” “Tales From The Crypt,” and “Lee Martin’s The Midnight Hour,” each installment presented a standalone narrative that concluded with an unexpected twist. The episodes explored a variety of genres, including horror, science fiction, and fantasy, and occasionally incorporated elements of dark humor or lighter themes.
