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. (Paramount)
