I remember watching this show as a kid, and I loved it! LOL. All my friends would talk about the latest episode the next day at school.
Of course, I've always been a fan of horror anthologies (Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Amicus films). I can still remember many of the stories from this series, most or all of which seem to have been written by one of my favorite horror writers, Robert Bloch (author of Psycho and original creator of virtually every twist ending ever seen in such tales).
It's possible I'd watch Darkroom today and not find it as "cool" as I did when I was a kid, but I'd certainly watch if for no other reason then to see just how well I remember the stories. I'd love to have this series on DVD.
Some memorable moments:
The toy soldiers coming to life... The voodoo doll that doubled as a chew toy... Claude Akins with a circular saw... Talking flowers and the secrets they tell... The thing under the fun-house (that enjoyed a slice of pie for dessert)... A double-cross involving murder and that guy from Eight Is Enough (Grant Goodeve)...
I could probably recall more, but that's not too bad considering I haven't seen this show since I was 10.
Hopefully, someone will decide that this series deserves a rebirth on DVD.
