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 - vampyres-online.com: «Even the most delicate women sometimes are provided with immense powers. They are exceptionaly dangerous when reduced to the beauty of their bodies... When a doctor (Patrick Kilpatrick) makes a late night house call, he soon finds himself held captive by a vampire couple (Marcia Cross & Harsh Nayyar). A short story about vampiric romance and betrayal, originaly released as part of the Tales From The Dark Side TV-series. Nice and entertaining, but too short for a completed story».

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».

Stagione 2, episodio 21 della serie tv in 90 episodi trasmessa negli USA dal 1983 al 1988, poi in Italia da Odeon e da Italia1; conosciuta anche con i titoli: Berättelser från andra sidan; Histoires de l'autre monde; Historias del más álla; Más allá del miedo.
