Tales From The Darkside: The Movie's Cast & Characters
Here's a guide to Tales From The Darkside: The Movie's cast and characters. George A Romero and Stephen King collaborated several times, with the most notable being 1982 anthology Creepshow. This was a gleeful, over-the-top homage to the EC horror comics both men grew up loving, and told five tales of terror featuring all manner of monsters and ironic comeuppances. Tales From The Darkside was a TV series that arrived in the aftermath of Creepshow's success, though since Warner Bros owned certain elements of that movie, Tales From The Darkside became a separate entity.
Tales From The Darkside had some scary episodes and ran for four seasons while adapting works by King, Clive Barker and Psycho author Robert Bloch. A film adaptation arrived in 1990, with Tales From The Darkside: The Movie being a modest success. It has since become a cult favorite and features three stories and a wraparound. The latter sees a boy named Timmy reading the tales to a witch who plans to eat him. The first tale «Lot 249» adapts an Arthur Conan Doyle short story that sees a twisted college student use a mummy to exact brutal revenge, «Cat From Hell» finds a hitman hired to kill an «evil» cat while «Lovers Vow» finds an artist keeping a dark secret from his wife about the night they met.
