Tales from the Darkside (also known as Creepshow 3, not to be confused with Taurus Entertainment's unofficial Creepshow III) is a 1990 movie directed by John Harrison based on the anthology television series Tales from the Darkside. The film, shot in anthology style, depicts a kidnapped paperboy who tells three stories of horror to the suburban witch who is preparing to eat him, a la Hansel and Gretel.
Paramount Pictures' (which distributed this movie) television division would later gain distribution rights to the Tales from the Darkside TV series.
The original basis of this film was to be at one point the 2nd sequel in the Creepshow franchise. It didn't come to be, and with the popularity of the Tales From the Darkside television series, producers opted to add the title of that show to the film. However, Tom Savini has been quoted as saying that this film is the real "Creepshow 3".
This is really three shorter movies, bound together by a fourth tale in which the other three stories are read. The first segment features an animated mummy stalking selected student victims; the second tale tells the story of a "cat from hell" who cannot be killed and leaves a trail of victims behind it; the third story is about a man who witnesses a bizarre killing and promises never to tell what he saw and the "in-between" bit is the story of a woman preparing to cook her newspaper boy for supper.
