"Tales From the Darkside"

By Josef Adalian

“Sleepy Hollow” producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are teaming with author Joe Hill (“Locke & Key”) to resurrect the eighties TV horror anthology series “Tales from the Darkside,” Vulture hears.

The CW has been looking to develop a new take on the syndicated series for a while now, and with Hill, Kurtzman and Orci on board, the network has ordered a script for the project. The CW is also poised to move quickly on the project: If it likes the script, the network could air the reboot as soon as this summer. Like the original George A. Romero-created series, the new “Tales” episodes will be 30 minutes long, episodes will be self-contained and every minute will be designed to scare the hell out of viewers.

Mitch Galin, Heather Kadin, and Jerry Golod will also serve as exec producers on the project, with Hill writing the script. The CW’s already proven it can scare up good rating in the summer with retro fare: Its new take on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” was a big success. OK, Fox: Ball’s in your court to bring back “The X-Files.”

So another "REMAKE". NBC is also "REMAKING" Murder She Wrote.

Forget Murder She Wrote. I never liked the original. But I'm up for Tales From the Darkside! I loved the old one too.

loved this show

I was a kid in the 80's and I LOVED the creepy "Tales from the Darkside"...Most of the episodes were scary/creepy and some were on the Goofy side. I think each episode featured a different unknown cast of Actors. I don't think the show could afford to hire Famous actors to guest star....What I loved most about the show is that it was ONLY 30-min and it was so freaking unpredictable. The ending was always CRAZY...LOL....

I agree with Angie. They are also talking about Remaking Charmed. The original cast is against it but are for making a movie with the original cast (even Shannon "Prue") I'm tired of remakes already. They think it's cool by calling it a reboot.
