The series originally aired as a pilot in October 1983 as "Trick Or Treat" starring Barnard Hughes. Apparently, this was before it became "Tales From The Darkside". The original broadcast wasn\'t intended as a episode of it until the "Tales From The Darkside" intro was tacked on future repeats of it. See more »

[closing narration] Narrator: The Darkside is always there waiting for us to enter; waiting to enter us. Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight.

When i first saw this film when i was younger it scared the hell out of me. Mostly when the narrator (Paul Sparer) starts and ends the programme. His creepy voice will always send chills down my spine. Good series.
