Tales from the Darkside (1983–88) is a horror anthology that aired in syndication. Each episode featured an intro narration by Paul Sparer followed by a standalone story. The show was produced by horror film maker George A. Romero, and was somewhat of a TV show version of his film Creepshow. After the show ended in 1988, two projects came out of its ashes: a theatrical film (Tales from the Darkside: The Movie) and another horror anthology TV series (Monsters).
