Tales from the Darkside: The Movie

D: Ok kids, time for a blast from the past. Does anyone remember this one? Straight from 1990, Tales from the Darkside movie.
It starts out with a seemingly sweet woman who turns out to be a witch getting ready to cook her young victim; a young Matthew Lawrence. To delay her, he begins to read her stories from a book she gave to him. The first one about a young college student who takes his revenge with the help of a old mummy. The second, about a old man who wants a evil cat dead. And the other about a man who witnesses a gruesome murder by a gargoyle like creature and sworn to secrecy.
All cheesy, all not scary, all awesome. I don't know, maybe its the memories of watching this in my early years on this earth that make me love it or what. But all I know is that if you want a movie with actors in their youth such as Christian Slater or even Steve Buscemi this would give you just that. And if you want to see what they did before all this computer stuff for special effects. Yes, this will do quite nicely. And its great for a nice quiet night of sitting in front of the couch with a blanket, soda, and a treat. Good cheesy fun, with a happy ending.
