"Tales from the Darkside" Mediocre at Best

Finally finished watching 1990's Tales from the Darkside: The Movie. It's a horror anthology composed of 3 segments whose stories come from the hands of George A. Romero, Stephen King, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Michael McDowell. The stories are okay, and the plot that strings them together with the little kid avoiding being cooked by the witch is entertaining. But overall I think I enjoyed Romero's "Creepshow" better. The stories in that one are more fun and the characters are better. Really enjoyed seeing Stephen King act in Creepshow. In fact I liked him better than established players Christian Slater & Steve Buscemi in TFDS. Check Creepshow out on Netflix. Skip Tales from the Darkside.
