Season Three Stories and Guest Stars

Tales from the Darkside ran from 1984 to 1988, after a 1983 pilot. Episodes often play out on a single set, and many mix horror with a darkly comic twist. Paul Sparer's narration closes each show with the reminder that the darkside is always there, waiting.

Season 3 opens with "The Circus," written by Romero himself and starring William Hickey. Several episodes adapt stories by well-known writers. "The Bitterest Pill" comes from a Frederik Pohl story, "The Geezenstacks" from Fredric Brown, "Everybody Needs a Little Love" from Robert Bloch, and the season finale, "The Enormous Radio," from John Cheever.

The guest cast includes Brian Benben, E.G. Marshall, Robert Forster, Chad Allen, Jeff Conaway, Roy Dotrice, Renée Taylor, Margaret O'Brien and Jerry Orbach.

Why Own Tales from the Darkside on DVD

"Everybody Needs a Little Love," starring Jerry Orbach, earned the series a Writers Guild Award nomination. The show has never been released on Blu-ray, so DVD remains the way to own these episodes on disc.

The short, self-contained episodes make this set easy to dip into, one tale at a time or as a late-night marathon.
