Tales from the Darkside/YMMV


 * Nightmare Fuel
 * "Trick or Treat" : A hated and spiteful old man with an obsession for documenting and exploiting debts owed to him, offers trick-or-treaters the chance to search his house for their parents' mortgages, only to terrify them with animatronic "spirits." Unfortunately for him, the old man finds himself the victim of a particularly frightening trick-or-treater, namely a real demon.
 * "Halloween Candy": A misanthropic old man torments trick-or-treating children and is visited by a terrifying goblin demanding candy. Believed by many to be the most disturbing episode, along with "Ursa Minor", and "The Geezenstacks".
 * "Ursa Minor": A little girl blames her new teddy bear for various pranks in her parent's house. They do not believe her-until giant claw marks on the walls and lumbering sounds at night convince them. The mother destroys the teddy, but forgets one of the most basic rules of the wild -- harm the child, and you must meet the mother...
 * "The Geezenstacks": A father realizes his daughter's dollhouse can change the future when played with, yet only he believes it. Things become strained in the household until near the end...  ...also, the violin music didn't make things better.
 * And, of course, "The Cutty Black Sow": On Halloween, a boy is warned by his dying great-grandmother about the Cutty Black Sow, a Celtic demon that steals the souls of those who die on All Hallow's Eve, and tries to prevent it from getting hers.
 * And guess what?
 * The opening music/narration. That is all.
 * "Inside The Closet", featuring a mysterious, child-sized door in a woman's bedroom. A touch of Uncanny Valley at the reveal, but horrifyingly suspenseful until that point.
 * Nightmare Retardant: The series finale. Seriously, a momma's boy wrestler (said momma is his manager) fights a demon from hell.
 * The monster from "Inside the Closet."...it looked like an aborted Muppet...
 * The Cutty Black Sow in ... "The Cutty Black Sow". ...seriously, look me in the eye and TELL me it doesn't look like a black-furred ALF.
 * Tear Jerker: The last segment of The Movie focuses on an artist who witnesses a gargoyle kill a man in an alley. The gargoyle makes the man promise not to ever, EVER, tell anyone what he saw at the cost of his life. Apparently, making this promise proves more beneficial then he thought, as he immediately meets a beautiful woman whom he starts dating, and his artwork is bought by an exclusive gallery. Years later, he's Happily Married to the woman and they have two kids, but he feels guilty for keeping the secret about the gargoyle from her. So, he tells her...
 * The ending of Miss May Dusa.
