It’s no surprise that with the success of anthology series American Horror Story, which takes each season as a different story, that networks are now considering bringing back more of the traditional anthology series that take an inidvidual story for each episode. One of the classics, along with The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone, was of course Tales From The Darkside. NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD director served as executive producer on the show, as well as writing a number of episodes. First premiering in 1983, the show ran for 5 years and spawned a movie in 1990. Tales From The Darkside is being developed by The CW for its return, with Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci producing and Joe Hill writing.
I absolutely adore these types of shows, and word is that the reboot will keep its 30 minute running time. This will be the perfect opportunity to show off some new directing and writing talent in the horror genre.
