My top fave Monsters ep is "The Match Game" w/ Ashley Laurence (Hellraiser), Sasha Jenson (Halloween 4), and Tori Spelling. Haunted mansion, zombie, perfect EC/Tales from the Crypt vibe & 80s gore 👍
Not just a Hidden Gem of a Channel, but an OG one too (2006 whoa mama)! I thought about these TV Series Boxsets cause I sometimes do miss collecting and also had FRY's Electronics randomly conjure up in my mind. The 2 Series in this vid & FRIDAY THE 13TH Canadian Horror TV Series at frys stores ahhhh yeah. I'm glad to have found you through these introspective thoughts haha, doubleplusgood is you ARE STILL ACTIVE even today! Respect. Otherwise, may you do some more of these tyoes of content occassionally besides the gaming vids you do now. Personally while I have gone near full digital, along with a Frugalist+Minimalist Lifestyle. TV Series Boxsets are such satisfying purchases: Most Times Cheap and you get Huge Hours of Content as if buying an RPG Game. Cheers.
Thanks for doing this review... Not too many people remember the series. I was maybe 5 years old when this series came out, but I always carried little snip it’s of the show in my brain. It was definitely a contributing catalyst for my love of horror 🖤
That's how a lot of anthology horror stories end though. The Twilight Zone was like that too. They're not cliffhangers, they're simply the characters being doomed in one way or another.
wunderjeeson I agree the intro scared me too as a kid but I still loves the intro so creepy. There is alot of nostalgia behind that intro for me so of course I had to pick this set up.
@@zaranyzerak bro I know wish I new back 2013 2014 this was out ! Like I got all the others at Wal-Mart. Tftd. Twilight zone. Friday 13th .. just got eerie Indiana for 45... lol but I need monsters ... lol if u ever come across a copy I'm your guy... already put a email notice on Wal-Mart and Amazon.... 😑
I picked up Monsters last year and love it! I also have season one of Tales from DS and remember watching it all the time. I want to pick up an old HBO show called The Hitchhiker. Remember that one? Had one of the creepiest openings ever!
Yes! I didn't see much of The hitchhiker when it was on, but I remember it being another really good one. There were some DVD sets of it a while back, but they're long out of print,. Would be nice if they did a re-release!
Unfortunately, no sub-titles. Looks like Tales from the Darkside doesn't have sub-titles either, except for Season 4 which has them in English. So random...
I have Taxi: The Complete Series box set with the same packaging. The disc holder is the same, I don't mind it, makes reading the episode list a bit easier. The only episode of Monsters that I remember is "A Bond of Silk" about the Newlyweds.
could you please tell me how many times Tales from the Darkside has been released on dvd why are they all packaged so differently I ordered mine from Amazon but it came in 2 cases with the slip cover with each case having 2 seasons and the titles are on the back with nothing on the inside cover there is also another review video where the whole inside comes out and is not attached to case Thanks it may just be me but I have run into some cases before where series have been bootlegged just wandering Thanks
The only MONSTERS episode I remember seeing all the way through, was season 3 Shave and Haircut Two Bits. I always thought that the ending was a bit disappointing because it seemed like a cliffhanger.
Witch story is you fave from each series ? Also if one of the creatures from monsters fought the crow and the third Doctor from Doctor who Who would it be and who would win ?
Well, since they're both from the same season maybe just pick up the Season 3 set if you can find it on the cheap? It's all the same discs, as far as I know. Complete Series set is just a repackage of the same discs from the Season sets.
shows are pretty inconsistent (they're of a time) unless you're into campiness, but they sure do bring on that winsome nostalgia for the 80s. why is everything so cheaply produced?! I know, I know...to save money for when the next "better" version is released.
Well, if you mean in terms of the packaging, the Tales from the Darkside set is a re-release. The previous release was individual season sets with nice packaging. CBS/Paramount has been re-releasing a lot of the TV show sets in these large keepcases, called "Epik Paks" While not as nice as the earlier releases, it does drive the cost down significantly. And on the plus side, each dis is still in its own tray, keeping them form touching each other (the overlapping edges are raised so they don't touch).
thanks for the info as to why they're released in such a cheesy manner (imo).. do u know if TFTD epik pak is a higher resolution than the older TFTD release. that series was darker, (no pun int.) picture wise than typical tv shows from the 80; although, Friday The 13th the series gets top honors for murkiest picture quality.. So dark I just gave up trying to watch it when it first aired.
Nope, all of these Epik Pak re-releases are straight up repackages of the same discs, so no differences in quality or content from the previous releases.
La temporada 4 de Tales from the Darkside tiene subtítulos en inglés SDH, pero eso es todo. Sin subtítulos en absoluto para el resto de ambos conjuntos. :(
the tales from the darkside movie was not as good, it is overly gorey and violent, the one segment that was good, was the stephen king one, the black cat
Freddies Nightmare is a golden series

Totally I need a copy of this box set.. monsters I own all the others....
I bought Tales From The Darkside and I feel many episodes end with a cliff-hanger.
That's how a lot of anthology horror stories end though. The Twilight Zone was like that too. They're not cliffhangers, they're simply the characters being doomed in one way or another.
True. btw I also bought The Twilight Zone boxed set, tos(59-64).
The intro to Tales from the Darkside scared me when I was a kid.. my brother would watch the show just to scare me lol
I'm not surprised, it's got one hella creepy intro!
wunderjeeson I agree the intro scared me too as a kid but I still loves the intro so creepy. There is alot of nostalgia behind that intro for me so of course I had to pick this set up.
Me too... I need to find a copy of monsters
I need a copy of this lol been looking for 3 years for monsters ...
Amazon link to both sets is in the description, but yeah looks like the Monsters set is out of print. Good luck! It's such a fun series.

Bro that monsters dvd set is near impossible to find
I picked up Monsters last year and love it! I also have season one of Tales from DS and remember watching it all the time. I want to pick up an old HBO show called The Hitchhiker. Remember that one? Had one of the creepiest openings ever!
Yes! I didn't see much of The hitchhiker when it was on, but I remember it being another really good one. There were some DVD sets of it a while back, but they're long out of print,. Would be nice if they did a re-release!
the monsters set is worth like 300 dollars now
you do a splendid job
Thank ye kindly!
4:06 Who else paused the video to read all the episode titles?
Tales from the darkside is the father and predecessor of Monsters, without TFTD Monsters would never have existed. Good video, congrats.
Monsters have any subtitles content?
Unfortunately, no sub-titles. Looks like Tales from the Darkside doesn't have sub-titles either, except for Season 4 which has them in English. So random...
Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, came out in 1990. Maybe Sceam Factory might put out Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, on Blu-ray.
That would be awesome, it seems like something right up Scream Factory's alley!

Never, as it is from the era where everything was edited and mastered on SD video.
YES TALES OF DARKSIDE FILM IS ON DVD AND CHEAP TOO IF YOU LOOK - I GOT MINE FOR FIVE DOLLERS
STILL HAVE TO GET THE MONSTERS SERIES THOUGH
Oh like the breakfast club movie .
The only MONSTERS episode I remember seeing all the way through, was season 3 Shave and Haircut Two Bits. I always thought that the ending was a bit disappointing because it seemed like a cliffhanger.
Witch story is you fave from each series ?
Also if one of the creatures from monsters fought the crow and the third Doctor from Doctor who
Who would it be and who would win ?
I have been watch Monsters on RUclips and I it

No immediate plans, but it's something I might consider at some point.
Also have you heard of the man from Atlantis tv series ??

I put amazon links to both of them in the description. :)
Very expensive!!!!
Would it be possible to get a closer look review of that shout factory set of max headroom?
Do you think they will package The Big Bang Theory geek comedy like this?
Did tales from the dark side have a spin off???
No. Just 1 movie
AMBAS SERIES VIENEN CON SUBTÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL...?
Do you think I need to get another TFTDS ? because I have two disc from season three that do not play.
Well, since they're both from the same season maybe just pick up the Season 3 set if you can find it on the cheap? It's all the same discs, as far as I know. Complete Series set is just a repackage of the same discs from the Season sets.

Hola, las tienes subtituladas ?
La temporada 4 de Tales from the Darkside tiene subtítulos en inglés SDH, pero eso es todo. Sin subtítulos en absoluto para el resto de ambos conjuntos. :(
Does tales from the Darkside have a host or do you just go in cold ?
Neither has a host, just the stories on their own.
the tales from the darkside movie was not as good, it is overly gorey and violent, the one segment that was good, was the stephen king one, the black cat
