Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and sci-fi fans. If you loved Castle Rock, start here.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 16 hours in all.
What might put you off
Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.

'You're in a house. Maybe your own... maybe one you've never seen before. You feel it. Something evil. You run, but there's no escape... nowhere to turn. You feel something beckoning you... drawing you into the terror that awaits you in the Darkroom!' Darkroom is an American horror/thriller anthology broadcast on ABC from November 27, 1981 to January 15, 1982. Similar in style to Rod Serling's Night Gallery, each hour-long episode featured two or more stories of varying length with a different story and a different cast, but James Coburn hosts all the wraparound segments.
