From the clever and creepy minds of Stephen King (Pet Sematary), Michael McDowell (Beetlejuice), George A. Romero (Dawn Of The Dead) and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (creator of Sherlock Holmes), comes an all-star anthology of horror.
To stall a witch (musician Debbie Harry, Blondie) plotting to eat him, a boy (Matthew Lawrence, Boy Meets World) reads her horror tales dealing with a collegian’s resurrection of a mummy, a murderous cat, and an artist’s pact with a gargoyle.
“Lot 249”: At a prestigious university, a nerdy student, Bellingham (Steve Buscemi, Fargo), is bullied by two rich students, Susan (Julianne Moore) and Lee, who are quite contemptuous of him because he’s a work-study student. Susan’s brother, Andy (Christian Slater, Interview with the Vampire), helps Bellingham one night with a new specimen that has arrived in the archaeology department: an ancient mummy.
“Cat From Hell”: Halston (musician David Johansen, New York Dolls), a high-priced assassin, arrives at an old mansion, having been summoned there by an old man in a wheelchair, Drogan (William Hickey, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation). Drogan tells Halston that he has an unusual mark for him to dispatch: a black cat.
“Lover’s Vow”: An out-of-work artist, Preston (James Remar, Dexter), witnesses a brutal murder from a demonic gargoyle. He is allowed to live if he promises to never speak of the encounter. Years later and happily married to the woman of his dreams (Rae Dawn Chong, Commando); he struggles with revealing the haunting secret.
1990, 93 minutes, USA, Directed by John Harrison, Rated R

"Quick, nasty and filled with gore and practical effects...the stories are quite a lot of fun, and the wraparound “bookend” story is just gleefully twisted enough to put a smile on the horror fantatics face."
– Michael Scott, AV NIRVANA -
"With polished production values, a star-studded cast, and top-notch special effects, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie stands strong among the best horror anthologies."
– Alex DiVincenzo, BROKE HORROR FAN -
“A cut--or a slash or a bloody whack--above most movies of this type: cleverly written, cleverly cast.”
– Michael Wilmington, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
