Q
Is "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie" considered to be the the official "Creepshow 3?"
A
Yes, it is. Following the success of Stephen King and George A. Romero's Creepshow, Laurel Entertainment (Creepshow 1 and 2's production company) toyed with the idea of a Creepshow television series. After several negotiations and changes (due to rights holders etc.), the decision was made to change the title for the series to "Tales from the Darkside" (to be helmed by Creepshow director and Creepshow 2 screenwriter, George A. Romero). After the series' success, roughly three years after Creepshow 2 hit theatres, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie came to fruition in 1990 as the successor to the original two Creepshow installments.
Q
How does this movie differ from the Creepshow movies?
A
Whereas Creepshow and Creepshow 2 used fictional Creepshow comic-books as framing devices, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie features a "Hansel & Gretel"-esque wraparound story concerning an attractive, seemingly normal, housewife intent on cooking a young boy for a dinner partys main course. In an attempt to avoid being eaten, he distracts the woman by narrating three horror stories from her favourite childhood book, entitled Tales from the Darkside.
