Along the same lines of Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside is based on the television series and told in three segments, with a 'filler story' to link the fantastic tales.
Plot: Deborah Harry (Blondie) likes a little roast child for dinner at parties, the result is a fattened up little boy, trapped in a ground floor dungeon, telling tales to the wicked witch to buy time before his impending cremation.
The first story is a good old fashioned killer Mummy story (old fashioned as it was based on an Arthur Conan Doyle short), with a maddened Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs) raising the embalmed one to exact revenge on Julianne Moore and her brother- Christian Slater (Heathers). The second (adapted from a Stephen King short by zombie maestro-George A.Romero) follows the tale of the killer Cat (tail joke there, enjoy) and the grouchy old millionaire. When moggies go bad, they go BAD! And finally the third, a Gargoyle falls for an artist in New York and they live happily ever after...ish.
Look out for a great 'falling down the stairs scene' and just watch where that pesky cat puts his claws.
Budget: $3,500,000
Gross: $16,324,573
Fun Fact: Tom Savini believes this film the 'real' Creepshow 3, having seen the third, I'd have to agree at least that 'Tales' is substantially better.
