Yeah, I do like the Anthology thing, I like the flexibility that it gives and the fact that, when you sit down, you really don't know what kind of episode you are going to get and what characters you are going to meet. But, honestly, it was never really as good as Tales From the Crypt of the Hitch Hiker was it? But than that could come down to the channels they were on and the money the producers decided not to spend on it. I think the movie came across a little better visually and a lot worse story wise, but what The Outer Limits and the Twilight Zone revivals did, Tales from the Darkside did with a more horrific note. It was made to be scary, it was made to be frightening... but the special effects got in the way and left you with a Halloween: Season of the Witch feeling to it. But, who cares, the stories were great.
