The Tales from the Darkside Season 3 DVD set collects all 22 episodes of the third season of George A. Romero's half-hour horror anthology, which aired in syndication from September 28, 1986 to May 17, 1987. Each episode tells a standalone story of horror, fantasy or dark comedy.
This is a brand-new copy of the DVD set. DVDs play in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players, so it works with any home setup.
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.
"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.

Undoubtedly CLASSIC show, you should get this!
Many great episodes in this season 3 of Tales From The Crypt!
Personal favorites of mine would be: Loved to Death, Carrion Death, Easel Kill Ya (favorite from season 3), Split Second.
Have always enjoyed these shows. I remember watching each week when aired on HBO years ago. Incredible cast throughout and can’t say there are any poor episodes. Strong recommendation to get this, very good show A+!

Tales from the Awesome Side!
I love everything about these anthology series from the 80s. It would be awesome if there were more! Although campy at times, and rarely if ever actually scary, these tales are none the less entertaining.
“I Can’t Help Saying Goodbye” is a fun episode, and kind of thought provoking. “A Serpent’s Tooth” is a rather amusing tale, one of the more humourous of this season. “Miss May Dusa” and “The Milkman Cometh” are both pretty good tales based on mythology and folklore, “My Ghostwriter – The Vampire” is another amusing tale. Although this season has many great stories, “Seasons of Belief” is probably my favourite of this season.

Tales from the Crypt: The Complete Third Season
I always loved watching the Tales From The Crypt when it was on HBO! And I will always remember watching “Yellow” when it was first broadcast. It is a very simple story, but so well spun here that I can always go back to it and enjoy watching it. And all of the other episodes on this package are great too! And if you were a fan of the show, you will probably still get a kick out of the Crypt-Keeper’s demonic jokes and puns! A must have for any fan of this great series!
