Tales From The Darkside: The Movie
From Stephen King (Pet Sematary), Michael McDowell (Beetlejuice), George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead) and Arthur Conan Doyle (creator of Sherlock Holmes), comes Tales From The Darkside: The Movie, an all-star horror anthology packed with fun and fright.
The Wraparound Story concerns a little boy who spins all the tales... to distract a modern-day witch who wants to pop him in the oven! In Lot 249, a malevolent mummy gives new meaning to "final exams" when he awakens to wreak revenge on unsuspecting student bodies. A furry black kitty is really the Cat From Hell, and a Lover's Vow brings a stone gargoyle to murderous life.

Totally great, and very much over looked - nelsonlonigan
This was supposed to be "Creepshow 3", but for marketing reasons, Paramount Pictures released it as "Tales From The Darkside the Movie". This was done to cash in on the popular TV series of the same name. The movie measures up well to both names. Imaginative, campy, horror bits with great actors and cameos. The stories are told within a story, and that makes it all the more fun. You actually look forward to the transitional scenes! It's sad that this movie is so forgotten. It deserves more recognition. And let's face it, any horror movie that stars David Johansen is well worth it's weight in gold just for that!
