Trama e commenti: it.wikipedia.org - davinotti.com - filmbrutti.forumcommunity.net - antoniogenna.net - horrormagazine.it - mymovies.it: «Serie antologica dell’orrore con pennellate di umorismo firmata, diretta e prodotta da George Romero, cineastacult de Il ritorno dei morti viventi (1985). Non priva di analogie con Ai confini della realtà, la serie ha dato vita a un film in quattro episodi – I delitti del gatto nero (1990) – in cui compare Christian Slater, già guest-star del telefilm. In originale il telefilm è narrato dalla voce “fuori campo” da Paul Sparer. Le musiche originali sono composte da John Harrison e Ken Lauber. Per gli amanti del genere, gli effetti speciali sono curati Joe LaPenna; alcuni episodi si ispirano a racconti di maestri del brivido come Stephen King, Harlan Ellison, Clive Barker, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Jodie Foster dirige una puntata. La stella del basket Kareem AbdulJabbar compare in un cameo. In Italia il serial è andato in onda anche con il titolo Salto nel buio».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - taliesinttlg.blogspot.com - angelfire.com: «A skeptical reporter is given a sneak peak of the horrible and presumably fake, sideshow attractions at a circus. Comments: A great episode to kick off the third season».

tvshowsondvd.com - movies.insidepulse.com - dvdverdict.com - popmatters.com - tv-links.eu - flickpeek.com - tv.com: «Tales from the Darkside was a post Twilight Zone/Night Gallery anthology series that delved more towards the side of horror. Even though it was a syndicated series, it had enough good to great episodes to make a lasting impression on the horror landscape. hide show. Tales from the Darkside was a tremendous horror anthology series. Where the Twilight Zone and Outer Limits went towards the sci-fi genre, and Night Gallery was geared more towards suspense, this show was a pioneer in the horror genre. Episodes from George Romero, Robert Bloch, Stephen King, and Clive Barker, just to name a few, contributed stories to the series. Episodes ranged from selling souls, old trickers getting their due on Halloween, Santa's evil neighbor from the North Pole making his way down south, a family trying to convince Grandpa that he did really die, and things coming out of the closet (keep it locked!). Several episodes were on the lighter side, but by and large this was a show that swung for the fences trying to scare you to death. The staying power of the show is on full show, either by watching the repeats of an '80s show on the Sci Fi Channel, or watching the show on DVD, as the first season has just been released. Overall, this was a trailblazing show, taking a risk on a genre that really hadn't been tapped on television at that point. I believe that it made it's mark, and a lasting, favorable one at that».
