Directed by \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Harrison\u003c\/strong\u003e, the film draws on the imaginations of some of the most recognisable names in horror literature and cinema: \u003cstrong\u003eStephen King\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge A. Romero\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMichael McDowell\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eArthur Conan Doyle\u003c\/strong\u003e. Blending supernatural horror, dark comedy, suspense and gruesome surprises, the film offers a collection of twisted tales connected by a sinister framing story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film opens with young Timmy, played by \u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Lawrence\u003c\/strong\u003e, being held captive by a suburban witch named Betty, portrayed by \u003cstrong\u003eDebbie Harry\u003c\/strong\u003e of Blondie fame. Betty intends to cook and eat the boy, but Timmy has a plan to delay his grisly fate. He tells her a series of frightening stories, hoping that each tale will keep her entertained long enough for him to escape. This clever \u003cstrong\u003ewraparound story\u003c\/strong\u003e introduces the three central horror segments, each featuring its own unusual characters, disturbing events and supernatural menace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first story, \u003cstrong\u003e\"Lot 249\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, stars \u003cstrong\u003eChristian Slater\u003c\/strong\u003e as university student Andy Smith. Based on the short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, it centres on an ancient Egyptian mummy brought back to life through the actions of a student with a desire for revenge. Andy becomes entangled in the terrifying consequences as the mummy begins to attack those connected with the scheme. The segment also features Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore and Robert Sedgwick, adding to the story's atmosphere of academic rivalry, ancient curses and gruesome retribution. Its Egyptian artefacts and reanimated corpse bring classic mummy-movie horror into a contemporary university setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second tale, \u003cstrong\u003e\"Cat From Hell\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, is adapted from a short story by Stephen King. It follows professional hitman Halston, played by \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Johansen\u003c\/strong\u003e, who is hired by a wealthy and elderly man named Drogan, portrayed by \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Hickey\u003c\/strong\u003e. His unusual assignment is to eliminate a seemingly ordinary black cat that Drogan believes has been responsible for several deaths in his family. What initially sounds like an absurd job becomes a frightening struggle as Halston discovers that the animal may be far more dangerous than anyone imagined. The story turns the familiar image of a domestic pet into a source of relentless supernatural terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third segment, \u003cstrong\u003e\"Lover's Vow\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, features \u003cstrong\u003eJames Remar\u003c\/strong\u003e as Preston, a struggling artist who witnesses a horrific supernatural murder. The mysterious creature responsible offers Preston a bargain: keep what he has seen secret and receive wealth and success in return. Preston accepts, but the arrangement carries a terrible price. Also starring \u003cstrong\u003eRae Dawn Chong\u003c\/strong\u003e, this story explores temptation, ambition, secrecy and the consequences of making a deal with an unknown evil. Its dark fantasy elements and disturbing imagery provide a memorable conclusion to the anthology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screenplay was written by \u003cstrong\u003eMichael McDowell and George A. Romero\u003c\/strong\u003e, with McDowell adapting the Arthur Conan Doyle-inspired \"Lot 249\" and writing \"Lover's Vow\", while Romero contributed the screenplay for \"Cat From Hell\". The film was produced by Richard P. Rubinstein and Mitchell Galin, both associated with the original Tales from the Darkside television series. The movie developed from that popular anthology series, which ran from 1983 to 1988, and carries forward its tradition of compact, unsettling supernatural stories. Principal photography took place in \u003cstrong\u003eNew York City\u003c\/strong\u003e between August and November 1989. With its memorable cast, literary horror influences and varied storytelling, \u003cstrong\u003eTales from the Darkside: The Movie\u003c\/strong\u003e remains a distinctive entry in the horror anthology genre and a nostalgic favourite for fans of classic 1990s horror cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Tales from the Dark Side (1990) - to find out more about the movie, posters, and movie trailers, go to IMDB.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0100740\/\"\u003eTo find out more about Tales from the Dark Side (1990) click here to go to IMDB.com.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImages may have a small 'MPA' digital watermark and this does not appear on the poster.
