Review of Tales from the Darkside

For some odd reason, I like this more than the cable "Tales from the Crypt" series, although I like that one alright, too. Somehow, these just seemed scarier. My favorite episode would have to be "Baker's Dozen," in which a bayou woman's cookies turn out to have supernatural powers. I know the premise is ridiculous, but this one works beautifully and can easily stand against even the best Twilight Zone. I also enjoyed "The Milkman Cometh", "Beetles", "Your Weight is Over (I think this was the title)". The series did have its fair share of turkeys, but that is to be expected with any anthology series. Good series.
