The Tales from the Darkside Season 4 DVD set brings home the final season of George A. Romero's half-hour horror anthology: all 20 episodes that aired in syndication from September 27, 1987 to July 24, 1988. It includes "Sorry, Right Number," which Stephen King adapted from his own story.
This is a brand-new copy of the DVD set. DVDs play in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players.
Tales from the Darkside ran from 1984 to 1988 and told a new self-contained story each week, mixing horror, fantasy and science fiction with a darkly comic streak. Paul Sparer's narration framed every episode.
The fourth season opens with "Beetles," written by Robert Bloch and featuring Colm Meaney. "The Yattering and Jack" adapts a Clive Barker short story, and "Sorry, Right Number" was written by Stephen King from his own story. "The Cutty Black Sow" draws on a Thomas F. Monteleone tale, and "Hush" adapts Zenna Henderson.
The guest list is a fun mix. Debbie Harry appears in "The Moth," Divine in "Seymourlama," Bradley Whitford in "The Deal," Eileen Heckart in "Do Not Open This Box" and Vic Tayback in the last episode, "Basher Malone." Stephen McHattie and Kim Greist also guest star.
The series has never been released on Blu-ray, so DVD is the way to own these episodes on disc. With Stephen King and Clive Barker adaptations, this final season is a strong pick for horror fans.
Each episode runs about half an hour, which makes the set easy to enjoy one story at a time.

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.
This season has some great tales, as all the seasons of Tales from the Darkside have. However, two particular stand-outs are “The Moth”, staring the multi-talented Debbie Harry, and “Hush” which is probably the most frightening of the tales (which isn’t saying much because, let’s face it, these aren’t particularly terrifying tales) in this season. “The Yattering and Jack” by Clive Barker is one of the more intentionally comical tales from this season, and definitely a stand out in the comic-horror genre.
Overall, though, pretty much the entirety of this season is win!

Love this show!
I’ve always been a fan of the Tales From the Darkside series. If you are looking for an entertaining horror anthology watch pick this up. The 80’s cheese/nostalgia goes a long way to make this a great view!

A Series FinaleWhich Ended Too Soon
I remember when this series came out, I was a pre-teen at the time and almost never miss an episode. This was one of the best series on T.V. in the 80’s, it had it all, humor,mystery, and the scare factor. I recommend buying this series to anyone, especially those who never got to watch the series on TV, either they were too young or too busy 2 watch it back in the day. As for the DVD, I thought the episodes were clear,cut well, and the set up is great, either U can watch a few episodes or all at once.
Thank You,
Kris L. CocKayne

Best 80’s tv show ever!!!!!!!!!
This is the last season. If you have never seen this show, see it! This isn’t the best season of the series, but it’s still very good! All of the seasons were really great!Although one thing that I’m mighty pissed off about is that they changed the music in some of the episodes. And some of the best episodes! Including my all-time favorite episode “Love Hungry”. they changed the music in all of the other seasons! But the score in that episode…. it was just amazing and memorable. and they “BUTCHERED” it! i use to watch it on tv. But I still watch the reruns. But you can still watch it on tv on channels called “Syfy” and “Chiller”. On this season, I would suggest watching episodes called, “Beetles” “Sorry, Right Number” “Love hungry”, “The Apprentice”,”Family Reunion”, “Hush”, “Don’t open this box”, “The Grave Robber, “Mary,Mary” and “Payment Overdue”. Stephen King wrote the episode called “Sorry, Right Number”. And I suggest watching the other seasons first!

Brings back memories of seeing it on TV
I loved watching Tales From the Darkside when I was little. Hearing the intro used to creep me out. Some of the episodes seem a little bit dated, but that’s the way things were back in the 1980’s. The only thing that would have made the DVD collection even better would have been to add some special features on the episodes. It would have been great if they added commentary from the guest stars or directors. They should have added the bumpers that they used to play (just before & after commercials). All-in-all, not a bad collection. If you like horror anthology TV series like Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, or Tales From the Crypt, then Tales From the Darkside is for you.
