A child is about to be cooked and eaten by a witch so they scheme to regale them with horrific tales to prolong their fate. Wise-brained students learn of the horrors that befell a mummy during the embalming process just in time for him to come back to life to regain what has been taken. Next we turn to a tale of a cat that cannot be killed who leaves a trail of victims behind in his wake of insanely disgusting practical effects. And finally we learn the sweet story of boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, girl turns out to be a gargoyle and makes boy promise to never tell anyone about her secret or she will transform into a monster and kill him. It's a series of touching tales that punctuate the fourth act culminating with the ultimate destiny of our young companion. TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE is utter madness with something for everyone. An all out spook-tacular featuring an all-star cast, including Debbie Harry, Christian Slater, Steve Buscemi, and Julianne Moore, with segments written by Michael McDowell (Beetlejuice), Stephen King, & George A. Romero!
